I also have three or four hull plugs and always leave some gear in the boat in case I forget something. I once made it all the way to Dale Hollow and launched when I realized all my tackle bags had been stolen from my boat during a quick stop when I wasn't looking.
i recently (last summer) made the mistake of not stowing all my crawler harnesses on the way to the ramp. I keep them on cut foam cylinders and 2 full rolls, about 4 dozen home made spinner rigs blew out of the boat on 40 somewhere. So my lesson learned was losing 5 strike king crankbaits trolling for walleyes. It was a short fishing trip to say the least. That one still stings!
