Knock on wood ive not forgot the drain plug yet. I check for that at various times before leaving the house and the boat hitting the water! lol...i have however neglected to unstrap the boat, charge the batteries, grab my tackle bag.
My best fishing "oops" to date:
drive 2 hours around lake st. Claire to the canadian side for ice fishing, walk 4 miles in 1.5 ft of snow to an ice jam. Sit on my bucket, pull my jigging rapalas out of my pocket that were in the small little clear tackle boxes, open it up, pull 1 out, close the lid....i have my rapala in my right hand and grabbing line with my left, my coat cuff knocks my box of rapalas straight down the hole, in an attempt to grab it, i lunge my right hand into the hole to grab it, letting go of the one in my hand....yup....ALL my baits right to the bottom in 17 ft of water! all that driving, all that walking and never got to fish and lost about $40 in jigging rapalas!
Not a good walk back!
