Now I'm confused. I believed your story on the rabbits. Your saying there was two. So which one did the saw grass cut. Are you now saying there was 3 crazy rabbits and one got cut in half. Give me that PH, number so I can talk to the guy who thinks like me and has a little sense. LMAO. HeHeHe.
This is a true story.
The boat I have now is one I bought brand new in 1993. We have a first place $100.K Bass tournament here on my lake once a year in May. Second place is a 25k boat, third is like a truck, few other cash prizes, food etc.. Plus they have cash give aways on big fish of the hour. Runs 2 days, 6am till 4pm each day. Piss test, lie test etc. party in the park at night with live band and fireworks.
$50. bucks a day early entry fee are $75. late. It stop for a few years and started back up a couple years back.
Here's what happen in May '93 at the big bass kykx tournament with brand new boat.
My neighbor checked out my boat about 2 weeks before the tournament. He wanted to fish the tournament with me or me him.LOL. First and last time I had fished that tournament. I worked 10 hours a day all week, him too. Tournament started Saturday morning at 6am. You could be on water at any time but could not fish till 6am. Friday night, I just got off work, ate supper, got all my stuff and boat ready, went to bed bout 10pm. He called bout 1am said there will be 3k boats on the water, we better leave now to start in a good spot. Sure, I was awake now.
We got on the water bout 2:30am and found our spot. Between eating, drinking coffee and trolling back and forth to the bank to have a sit on the seat with no hole, we killed enough time to not be bored.
6Am, fog had rolled in very thick. Boats running everywhere wide open. Dang fools hauling butt in the fog but you know how them bass guys are in them big boats. LOL. Boats all around us bass fishing. We trolled around a couple hours and caught bout 3 bass. Radio tells weight of bass of the hour being weighed in. Our fish was not big enough for that hour, no need to move. It was still cool out on the water. 9am Fog lifted enough to fire up the motor. Bout the time we got about 6 miles up the lake a huge storm blew in. White caps, rain, some lightening boats everywhere and we are in the stumps at the other end of lake that I have not learn very well at the time.
We then caught a nice bass for the hour and was going to head 6 miles to the weigh station and fish that part of lake for a while. Still storming hard. Bilge pump working very hard to keep up. We eased to the boat roll and about 5 skeeter boats come through doing about 70mph. I pulled in behind the last one and floored it. LOL. Didn't take no time to hit that big stump. Boat jumped about 6' off water and stopped. knocked the motor cover off, bent prop shaft, and a hole about 8" round right where the bilge pump and boat plug was. Water was up to my butt in a few seconds. I started motor, shaking do to bent shaft, barely got it planed out without the back going under due to all the water we took on. As I was moving , the water was leaving boat and the faster I could go. I didn't floor it again , but had to keep moving to get water out so boat would not sink. 6miles in a storm. made it to the ramp, my buddy jumped out back the trailer in while I made circles and got er loader up. Drove around to the weigh station, didn't win a thing but free cold ones. I needed them too. LOL. I'm glad I had insurance. What a day. When I got home to the
wife, I wish I would have let the boat sink with me in it. LMAO. Bass fishing just cost too much. LOL
That was the last time I bass fished, except playing around now and then at the bank are sometimes throw a lure in a cove bout 2 times a year, maybe. LOL I learned something that day. I tell ya when I remember it. LOL. Didn't see any rabbits on the way home. LMAO.

Laughter....The best medicine:
This happened to a good friend of mine (who is now my boss). We were going fishing in a local borrow pit one morning. I backed the trailer into the water on a rather steep gravel ramp while my buddy sat on the front of the boat and unhooked the winch. The boat floated off the trailer and he grabbed the guide pole to let the trailer pull the boat to the bank. As I started up the ramp, I noticed a car coming so I hit the brakes. The driver of the car motioned for me to 'go' so I hit the gas again. Well, my unsuspecting friend was holding tight to the pole and I snatched him out of the boat face first into about 2-3 feet of water. I laughed so hard I cried. After getting all of the mud and weeds off his face, he finally saw the humor in it too. To add insult to injury, later that same day we were fishing around a couple of very small islands and my buddy got his bait hung in some brush. We trolled over to the brush and he couldn't get the bait loose. He decided to step out of the boat and walk over to get his bait untangled. We were about 5 feet from the bank but didn't realize that there was a steep drop-off there. He hopped out of the boat and dropped into about 8 feet of water. The last thing I saw was his hat floating and a big splash. I nearly fell out of the boat I was laughing so hard! Once on solid ground again, I told him that we could have gone to the city pool if all he wanted to do is swim....LOL

I’ll tell one, its nothing as funny as above.
Quit a few years ago I was gigging suckers. I was on the Pole Cat Creek near Ashmore IL. I could hear the fish riffling near where I knew a large concrete slab next to a good riffle. It was a very dark night, but I knew the area really well. I edged very quietly and when I felt the concrete under my feet ,I started crawling toward the sound. I had a light taped to my gig. I hit the switch. About 12 inches in front of me was a large muskrat. I went into the water one way and he went the other way. We were both very startled!

I got another one on some people I helped out that I didn't know. This was about 6, 7 years ago.
My Son and I was in boat, after me pulling him tubing all day we anchored down started fishing for crappie and cats, relaxing in the sun, B.S.ing. I noticed this middle age couple playing around in their boat. Running back and forth, checking it all out etc. They would stop and talk a little. From what I could tell and hear, it was their first boat and the man was trying to learn it and his wife was a yacking. It got to be funny watching and listening to them. We caught a few fish while
watching them. The man then started having boat trouble. Would not run right or stay running and his wife was scared and yelling. Well I hollered and asked if I could help, she snap back and said hell know he wanted the boat, he'll get it fixed. I said ok but the wind is picking up and yall are headed for the rocks. Few M's later the boat was against the rocks being beat to death and the wife was doing everything but beating him in the head
with the paddle. He jumps out of boat into water and them rocks was also just below the water in that area. I wasn't sure if he was trying to save the boat or drown himself from all the butt chewing his wife was doing. LOL.
I could tell he was hurt from the rocks when he jumped in.. I eased closer to them and said ya'll shut up and listen. Your in trouble here and I can help. I'm coming closer and I'll throw ya'll my sky rope. Tie it to the front of your boat, get in and I'll pull you back to the middle of the lake out of the rocks. When the man got back in his boat I could see his legs all skin up and bleeding. He wasn't hurt bad just skin up. I pulled them away from rocks and she was steady chewing on him about stupid boat, sell it, I told you so etc. I almost
cut the line from them. Started to make a cast to her head and knock her out with a weight. LOL. Poor O' guy was as sad as could be, boat all beat up etc.. I shut down and he asked if I would pull him to the dock and help him load up. I said sure, no problem.
She started to say something and he finally stood up and laid into her real good. Made me proud. LOL. She didn't say another word, thank God. LOL. Got him to dock, I had to tie my boat off so I could back his truck in and we got his boat loaded. While my boat was tied to pier, the wind got harder and beat my boat up a little so my Son pulled it out into the lake until I finished helping out that man. As we was saying our good by's and thank
you's, his wife told me she was very sorry for being so rude and asked if she could pay for
the scratches on my boat. Said it was her first time in a boat and she was just scared. I told
her no problem, I understand, that just added some character to my boat, it ain't hurt and explained boaters, fisherman etc. always try to help each other and next time try to remain clam, things will work much better. We all laugh and went our ways.
I sure felt sorry for that guy. My Son and I went back to camp and had us a fish fry. LOL.
If I would have known about BOC then, I would have asked them to log on and do some learning. Maybe some of the fisherwomen on this site could teach that mans wife a thing are two. I know the gals here knows how to handle things.
I'm sure everybody here has a million story's they could tell. LOL

What the heck. I'm sitting here loading a pc with win98 so I have time to tell one more.
This happen on lake Wright Patman in Texarkana about 10 years ago around the first of March.
Lake was up in the willow trees and cats was biting big time. My buddies and I had fished it two weekends in a row using cane pole and stink bait. Man we caught 100 cats in about two hours time. Most I ever caught in one time. tearing them up. LOL
I wanted to take my wife, just me and her. Water was still very cold and outside temp was about high 40 or low 50. We unloaded at Atlanta state park. Its stumpy out there and I was not used to the lake so I moved real slow. Thats the lesson I learned from the above post on the stump. LOL. It has a step ramp, concrete and you have to pull the truck way up the hill in the parking lot. Wife can't back a trailer at that time. Got boat unloaded, wife
pulled trunk up hill and I sit in the water, shaking my head, a good 15 or 20m's waiting on
her. She about tangled up the boat and trailer just trying to park. LMAO.
Anyway she got to the ramp and I pick her up. I started easing out and notice the boat was sitting low in water and it felt like it was dragging. I gave it a little gas and the back end went down way too much. I open up the floor compartment to see water coming in. Dang, I forgot to put in the plug and couldn't do it from the inside. I could not take off and let the water get sucked out due to stumps and me not use to lake. Had pump going,
wasn't keeping up so I tried to drop her off but couldn't get back to dock due to boat sitting low and dragging. Didn't want to drag on ramp concrete. Wasn't but one thing to do. Jump in and insert plug. I didn't have any other clothes so I stripped down to underwear and jumped in that butt cold water. Burr. After I caught my breath and pulled
my family jewels out of my throat, I went under with plug. I dropped plug and no spare. LOL
I dove a few times and found plug, got it in boat and let the pump drain the water. Took a while. My whole body was blue but my clothes wasn't wet and it sure felt good to put em back on. My wife was LOL the whole time and asking me if I found my family jewels yet.
LMAO. We still went fishing and enjoyed the rest of the day.
Are you guys sure you want me to come to a gathering.? LMAO

I was fishin with mt dad. It was gettin dark. He had me scullin the boat while he fly fished the bank for big black bream, which he was tearin em up! He was continually yellin at me to keep the boat straight. He was good at yellin at me. I had let the boat get a little close to the bank and my dad got a little extra mad as I was scarin the bream! he said. Just then a gigantic bass jumped from the bank side, plumb over the boat into the water on the other side. As he passed over the boat, he slapped my dad on the back with his tail, leaving a large wet spot.
My dad was furious. He threw down his rod into the bottom of the boat and started toward me. I started screaming, IT WAS A FISH!! IT WAS A FISH !! Course he never stopped until he beat my a@## took my paddle and beat my A%$% again.
He always believed I got mad at him and hit him with the paddle or something.
This was always funny to me, as I think the fish gods were on my side that day and at least slapped my dad on the back that day.

I've had a lot of strange things happen, but one of the funniest was when my wife (who can't even stand to see a picture of a spider) needed to make a nature call while we were fishing in a 14' jon boat. I pulled up to the bank so she could exit from the front of the boat, when she spied a spider on a limb. I caught her around the waist as she passed me on her way out the stern! After I backed away from the bank and got her calmed down, all I could do was laugh. She didn't have the urge anymore either. }Didn't know she was that agile. |

"Poor Uncle Ed"
Here while back we was snaggin spoonies on the Osage up a ways from Taberville MO in Daddy's boat. There was four of us, Me and Daddy and Uncle Ed and Keith.
Well the first funny thing was Uncle Ed's freakin' CELL PHONE rings. Second Funny Thing was he ACTUALLY ANSWERED IT. Third Funny Thing -- Me and Daddy and Keith began to TORRENTIALLY rip into Uncle Ed that "bringin a cell phone fishin -- what kind of IDIOT ...etc. etc." Well, when he answered his phone he had given his rig to Keith so here we were putt-n up past Shouse Riffle and Keith draggin with a rig in each hand, me and Daddy with our one each and Ed jabberin away on his dam cell phone about his next trip to Mexico or some other such nonsense and wouldn't ya know it, Keith hollers out "FISH ON!!!"
Needless to say the next few moments were kinda tense, Uncle Ed was faced with a tough decision... cause Keith was either gonna toss Ed's rig in the creek or hand it back to Ed. Me and Daddy couldn't take it, we were busy gettin our OWN rigs back in the boat outta Keith's way so's he could get to work on his FISH (which after all is WHY we were at the RIVER in the first place not to discuss Mexico trips on a CELL PHONE) ... Ed was gettin his conversation wrapped up and then BIG FUNNY thing happens -- he's trying to put his phone in his shirt pocket and get his rig from Keith at the same time, he fumbles the cell phone and tries to catch it and simultaneously inadvertently lets go of his fishin pole. Both fairly expensive items made kinda pretty splashes when they hit the water.
As we idled around for the next fifteen or so minutes while Keith was workin his fish, Ed sat nearly in silent tearful sorrow while me and Daddy were sayin things like "at least that dam phone won't ring no more today" ...
Final funny thing in this story Keith got his fish up to the boat --- it was the biggest GAR either of us had ever seen.
Insult to Embarrassment? I still laugh to this day. Poor Uncle Ed.
On the eighth day God created catfish, and it was good. Forever after She sat back and was amused by men pursuing them.

I think I posted part of this one a while back somewhere else, but I just noticed this thread and I guess it will fit fine here, lol.
My family and I were camping at Broken Bow Lake in Oklahoma and I was probably 9 or 10 years old and fish crazy. I had been wading out and catching some bass and such but came to the conclusion that my 2 arms and 1 pole just weren't enough and I just knew that I was missing out on some fish. So I came up with the brilliant idea of tying a piece of fishing line around each toe, with a hook and bait on the end of each. Well, that seemed like a great idea at the time but I very quickly changed my tune when a 3 or 4 lb. drum swam by and decided to take my bait! I thought he was going to rip my big toe off and I swear that I was almost in tears before I got that line pulled in by hand, got him off the hook and cut that line off of my toe, lol. After that I stuck to using just my fishing pole and the "toe fishing" idea went back into that place in my mind where I store my "lessons learned".

This happened to me a couple of weeks ago.
A buddy asked if I wanted to go fishing, so I said sure, I've got a free vacation day, and what better way to start the week than a Monday fishing trip. Supposed to be three of us going. Kind of a load for the 14 ft. boat of his, but we were optimistic. Somehow or another, we left the house Monday morning with not 3, but 4 top notch anglers, or so we'd like to think. I'll call us #1, #2 #3, and me. I had the great idea that instead of putting out on the sandbar like usual, we'd try launching in the creek, since you can back a trailer right up to it. I'd been wanting to try this spot anyway because the sandbar is always a hassle. Thought it should be fairly easy, especially with 4 people. The creekbank is about 8 foot high with a gradual slope, but not so gradual that you back down it. The plan was to slide the boat off the trailer and down the bank into the creek. No problem. Well, #1 decides to make it a little easier by at least backing the trailer off the top of the bank and stopping short of the truck going over. As he made his way we realized that it was going to be harder to launch like that. #1 gets out and comes to assess. I'm standing at the back of the boat about half way down the bank, as is #3 on the other side of the boat. The #1 then unlocks the wench. Why I don't know. Simultaneously, #2 pushes the boat. Again, why I don't know. Needless to say #3 and I are thinking they are less than intellegent, especially after what came next. When #2 pushed the boat it spun the wench handle around and hit #1 in the hand HARD, subsequently breaking his finger and sending him backward, and losing control of the boat. The boat came FAST off the trailer, knocking both #3 and I down into the edge of the creek. When the boat reached the end of the short wench rope, of course it broke. The boat hit the water at about a 45 degree angle. We got a preview on Weld-Craft's new submarine models. #2 was on the bank gawking while tackle and poles and such were gently lifted from the boat and made their way to the bottom or down the creek. I grabbed the rope on the front and was scrambling back up the bank to tie off to the trailer and pull the boat out, (the motor was already about 4 ft under. Meanwhile #3 went to wade in after the gear, only to discover that about 2 feet out the depth dropped to about 12 feet. He disappeared, and the reappeared minus a pair of sunglasses and a cell phone. We gathered most everything back up, and being persistent, managed to launch the boat, pull the plugs and squirt all the water out, (there of all places!) and go fishing. What a way to start the day!!
P.S. All we caught was a buzz and a sunburn.

You guys have me rolling. I got to tell this one on my nephews. They are all 25-35 years old, none are or were kids when this happened.
Every year when we go to KY Lake, I put some anchored lines in the main channel, about 70 feet of water, trying to get that elusive 100 pounder. Well that year I had 6 sets in the main channel and decided to check them when we[ my 3 nephews and I] were on our way back to camp after checking jugs and limb lines on another bay, at about 12AM.
It was flat dark, no moon. My one nephew Cliff was in front of my center consel with a Q-Beam shining the light for the others to find the anchored jugs.
Well we pull up to one and Randy another nephew starts pulling the line up and howallers we have a big one on. He tells Rodney another nephew to grab the net while he is fighting to pull in this line.
I am farthest back from the action as I am running the boat and trying to keep us steady in the rolling waves. I also have Cliff in front of me blocking my view.
Randy is really having a time pulling in this 1/8" nylon line, I mean flat working, and he is a weightlifting big boy. When he finally got the fish to the surface, Rodney went to net it. In a split second, he jumps back and hollars," Damn That's Big" and would not try to net it. He was SCARED, LOL LOL The fish then breaks my leader and returns to the deep. All I got to see of it was a grey spot of skin maybe 8" x 18" long because Cliff was in the way; and Rodney was jumping back. I have no idea of the size, Randy figured it was a 50-80 pound blue.
Boy I was HOT, Hot. Hot--- until, when we were back at camp and had a tug of war with my leaders and seen they would come apart with about 50 lbs or so of pressure. I now have a different leader set up.
Every year since this has happened we have to pick on Rodney with his " Damn That's Big" quote.
We have told him he sounded like a virgin on a wedding night, screaming like that. LOL LOL
That is probably the funnyist thing that has happened to me, or what my febel mind can remember. LOL
