Location: Lindenhurst, Illinois | Sunday morning (4:30 am)I went to Le Bowl De Toilet to chase the elusive musky. When putting my boat in the water I decided to tie my rope to the trailer and let the boat slide off instead of my normal plan of pushing the boat off the trailer. Everything was going well until my knot untied. I quickly kicked off my shoes and socks, rolled up the sweat pants and waded in after. I couldn't have aimed the boat off the trailer any better as it was heading straight down the channel towards open water. While I waded in and got to within a couple feet of the rope I lunged and proceded to slip and sink myself neck deep in the water. I finally got the boat rope and waded back to the dock at the landing, tied her up and pulled the trailer out of the water. Made my first cast five minutes later soaked from head to toe. Minutes later a gaggle of geese came flying by and one of them crapped right on my shoulder. 4 hours later no fish. I should have stayed in bed. The only upside was nobody saw my boat landing antics. |

Location: Athens, Ohio | Daggone, the things that happen away from video cameras. Lucky you. I've got hooks tied (and taped the knots) on each end of my launching rope, but it's prolly only a matter of time....
Hey, you got to go fishing. There are worse days. Like when you don't. m

That has to be the funniest thing I have head in a long time. Thanks for the great laugh. Makes some of my launch antics seem boring. |

| Dave, I believe you meant a "giggle" of geese eh?;) These things happen, yet when one looks back he can chalk it up as a memory that will always be remembered!:O |

Location: Algonquin, ILL | Talk about Goose Poop, a few years ago on a beautiful fall day a freind and I were out on N. Twin in vilas county we were getting some action but no solid hook ups we decided to take a lunch break so I motored out to the middle of the lake and we just drifted while we ate, as a flock of geese flew overhead I heard my partner start cussing and yelling at the geese it seems that one of them took a POOP right on his sandwhich. that was the funniest thing I ever saw up until about two hours later while we were fishing one of N.Twins more famous points I hear my partner grumbling and cussing at some geese that were flying high overhead then it happened just as he looked up at the flock BULLSEYE!!GOOSE POOP right in the middle of his forehead!!!! from the gooses perspective it must have been just like that scene from movie Pearl Harbour where the bomb is falling towards the Arizona, I was laughing so hard my side hurt and could not fish for about a half hour, even today whenever I hear a flock of geese I start laughing.

Location: Greenfield, WI | Hey, I know that spot! There is a 54"er that lives right by the landing. In fact by taking a walking tour of the lake, you probably spooked it so that it will never be seen again! LOL!
The only thing which could have made it more of a perfect day would have been if your keys got locked in your vehicle and your wallet would have been stolden!
This was actually a good day because no matter what happens in the future, it will be better than that which you just experienced! |

What a way to start the day.
