Location: Bemidji, MN | I'm no dumby! after spending the better part of an hour dredging the bottom of planatgenet with a snagging rig made from about 7 bucktails and 2 jigs to retrieve one of my custom rods. Now I build all my rods with LOTS of cork. they all float with a lure on now.
Also in the early days when I couldn't cast worth a crap, I used to like to fish on Elk lake becasue it was so clear, and I could get back most of the lures that I backlashed off |

Location: Victoria,MN | Lets see , a new walleye flavored mag dawg on Casco Pt., this was on it's maiden voyage, heck the package was still laying by my feet . Numerous bucktails on Sabaskong, also an intentional donation of a Bull Dawg rod a couple years ago after I snapped the tip trying to dislodge a favorite bait, thats laying north? of Blueberry Island. (didn't like that rod to begin with, but I got it 50% off.) Temper Temper
This year, just after the opener, I let a new St.Croix teamed with a new Saltist 40 slip out of my hands. As I was watching it sink ever so slowly my buddy told me to grab it, I tried but I slid right out off the bow and into the drink. (un)Fortunately he hit a waypoint and within 2 minutes I had snagged it with a mammoth sue. This might explain my terrible year I have had on the water. Never take back from the gods. |

Location: Minnesota | I haven't lost any rods or muskie lures (I've only been fishing muskies for a few years), but my Winchester 1500 sits at the bottom of a river in southern MN due to the combination of a small jonboat, very high water, and a 110 lb rambunctious black lab.
That's also the day that I found out A: how fast chest waders can fill up with water, B: how they form a suction to your body that makes them impossible to remove in water, and C: that I'm a pretty good swimmer when death is tapping you on the shoulder. |
