Question:

I always like to hear true fishing stories that are  funny or unusual. Ill tell mine mabey someone else has a good one I was fishing the stripper pits in southern indiana in the back pits off the main pit. It was (Gospel Truth) so dark back in the channels I couldn’t  florida bass fishing boat rental see the front of my 11 ft john boat. I was oar paddling and throwing in front of the boat in pitch dark like I  had done many times before. This particular area was very narrow 5′ and 2′ deep with trees growing overhead blocking the light and making throwing after dark a guaranteed snag Does anyone have an idea what it is like to run into a deer in the water, in pitch black with the banging of hoofs on your boat wondering whether you are going to have a friend in your lap? It took a long time before I could bring my self to go there again after dark . I really enjoy fishing after dark with the jitterbug ,rapalas and popper. Tell me your  funny story

One time i was fishing in florida bass fishing boat rental an area that could only described as the arse end of nowhere. I was on a trail at the edge of the lake and was approached by two backwoods types. They were native aboriginals and scruffy and tough looking…..like me. All i hoped was this wasn’t going to be some scene out of Deliverence. Well it turns out these chaps were so polite and well spoken it would put you to shame.They had perfect diction and spoke  multi-syllable words like they were university professors. They told me a lot about the area and gave me tips on viewing wildlife. They wished me well  florida bass fishing boat rental on my fishing and went on their way. It is funny because i always remembered this encounter and it taught me a lesson too. Al Incomplete angler-writer

One night while night fishing from my old aluminum boat,florida bass fishing boat rental I had put a picnic lamp (clip on lamp) with a 12v bulb in it clipped to the middle of the shore side of the boat, because my partner said he couldn’t see the bank without a light of some kind.  I was in the front of the boat casting ahead of the light when I got a strike that didn’t seem just right.  I could have sworn that it came before the lure hit the water.  However, since the fish had missed on the strike, I just retrieved the spinner bait I was fishing with and cast again.  This time the strike was definitely just before the lure hit the water.  I felt the strike, then I heard the splash as the lure and its capture hit the water.  I fought for a second then told my partner that it must be a small fish foul hooked on the trailer because it is spinning through the water and most of its fight is just drag.  About that time the end of my line came into view of the light.  That’s when I saw that I had caught a small brown bat, or should I say, he caught me.  The little bat had caught the spinner bait flying through the air, but found that it fought back a little more than your ordinary moth or beetle.  He was soaking wet, and pissed off, but he wasn’t going to release his catch.  He wasn’t hooked, he just had the lure in is feet and his wings wrapped around it.  I had to hold him under the water at the tip of my rod for a few seconds before he decided that he would have to let go to get air.  I was worried that he would be too wet and couldn’t fly, but he hit the surface, jumped into the air with the aid of his wings, and sped away. As many times as I have night fished, that’s the only time I have caught a bat on the lure.  I have had several hit my line, and I have even hit a few with the lure, but catching one was plenty for me.

Thetas a good one As a kid we would go to the woods and tie a red cloth on a fishing line and swing it and watch the bats attract it. Where I fish the bats the go after the lures all the time but  I got to say I never caught one. The deer experience was enough for me. — Highlander

I was fishing a club tournament in my boat.  I have a trolling motor mounted on the transom and I tell my non-boater he can use it to help position himself and I will ask him to turn it on briefly if I over shoot my target with the front motor.  So…  I had just made a cast to laydown with a Zoom Brush Hog when I felt the line pulling away from me.  I dropped my rod tip and set the hook only to have my rod jerked out of my hands and into the water.  I dropped down on my knees and was able to grab my rod just before it sunk out of sight.  My partner had started the back motor and the line was tightening because we were moving backwards, I set the hook into the laydown!  It was a new rod and a brand new Abu 4601C4 reel, I sure was glad I was able to catch it in time. — Richard Delaware Bass Stalkers http://www.bassstalkers.com

two stories, both about losing rods. #1. Thousand Islands B.A.S.S. tourney — I think it was in ‘76. strong wind and pouring rain. Race to my first spot.make a few casts with a light jig, but the wind is making it impossible to fish the way I had been in practice. Climb down off the front deck and go into the rod box for a spinnerbait rod. Of course there’s 3 rods laying on top of the rod box lid and the strap is not hooked. Just as I pull my head out of the rod box, I see one going over. I drop the rod locker lid and make a stab at it. Hanging as far over the side as I can, I am just about to touch the handle as the rod sinks out of site, when I get yanked almost full upright from behind. Seems my partner hadn’t seen anything except me going over, and thought I had slipped. Cost for the day, 3 rods. The one I had seen going over was apparently the 2nd one to do so. And when my partner stepped on the rod box lid as he rushed to ’save’ me, the spinnerbait rod that I had half out when I saw my lite spinning rod going over got snapped in half, too. Story 2. I think it was the year before that. I had just come back from fishing 2 consecutive tourneys (BASS and NBAA) at 1000 Islands. I think I was there for 10 days. Drove home Saturday, and had a club tourney on Lillinonah on Sunday. To say I was beat was an understatement. I’m up the Housatonic arm of the lake, throwing a crankbait along a shreline with scattered laydowns. And right smack in the middle of making a cast, I fell asleep. Rod came out of my hand and kept right on going. partner is commiserating. Actually, he was laughing out loud. But then I see the crankbait float to the surface! No problem, I’ll get that sucker back. I start to electric over to the plug, which is about 30 feet or so away. Half way there, it ’sinks’. Pissed,  I take my foot off the trolling motor button. Up pops the plug again. Hit the switch, and down it goes again. You guessed it. I had snagged the line with the trolling motor. Naturally, the line had been cut on the rod side, and it wound the plug right down to the prop. I let my partner have the front of the boat for the rest of the day, and I sat in the back, mostly sleeping. RichZ
