Most humiliating experiance while fishing !!! 2024
justfishin reply :
We have all had crazy things happen to us while fishing over the years and some that will give you a red face. Here is mine, how about yours !
I was in my late twenties and my girlfriend and I used to jump in the boat on Friday nights, head up river and camp on a big sand bar. It was a very peaceful place away from the world.
One morning at daybreak my girlfriend was making breakfeast and I had decided to wade out to a big rock in the middle of the river with nothing on but, a pair of sneakers, all natural, ya know. It was pretty foggy that morning and my girlfriend was laughing at me. Me naked is a joke, lol. Anyhoo, I proceeded to start casting and out of the mist I heard " Sir !!!, sir !!! , get in the water please !!! in a very urgent tone. Out of the mist I heard laughs and giggles and low and behold here comes a girl scout troop in canoes floating down the river with me standing on a rock in just sneakers. I jumped into the water and squated down as they floated just 10 yard away. The scoutmaster lady and the girls were roaring laughing. I will never forget the scoutmasters comment. " I told you girls we would see some wonders of nature along the river, but, I don't think we have a badge for this one ". I was humiliated and my girlfriend on the shore laughing did not help matters any.

;D
I can't top that.
Catt reply :
Mine aint that embarrassing 
I'm known by all my friends and relatives as a stickler for being extremely organized but I once drove 45 minutes to the boat launch and only upon loading everything into the boat did I realize the fact I had left my rods at home.

I'm with Cart...there is no way I could come close to that ;D ;D

Let me get this straight.
You and your girlfriend are alone (presumably) You're already nude. And you go fishing?
That's what I call a true outdoorsman. 
MALTESE FALCON reply :
I fell out of the boat while releasing a fish once, but somehow that doesn't even come close to your story.LOL

grimlin reply :
That's gonna be a hard one to top...
Didn't happen to me,but some carper got his rod pulled in and he stripped down to his thong boxers(not lieing!) and went after his rod.I couldn't stop laughing after he did.A little later he came up to me and showed me this 3 foot long bowfin fish and my eyes got big.I was like dude,that's why it's not a good idea to strip and swim in these waters...look at those teeths.He had no clue what it was.
nra4life reply :
haha thats is hilarious
jc2bg reply :
Your experience is [probably] unique, especially the part about fishing while naked and your gf nearby. Must have been a long night.
But anyway, my most humiliating experience came a few years ago while fishing a club tournament on my "home" waters, Lake Erie. I'd been fishing bass tournaments for 20 years, had won two state championships, and been #1 in my annual club standings at least a half-dozen times. The day in question, a non-boater with less than a year's experience--and no outstanding tournament results in that time--was paired with me. So what happens, naturally, is that this guy catches nice keepers all day long, in every one of my hotspots and on every bait he ties on, while I get 2-3 small keepers total. Most of the 20 club members limited that day...I had either the worst bag or next-to-worst...while my non-boater partner had the best bag. Everybody looked at me a little funny, like "I don't understand, were you doing drugs or what?" Just impossible to explain how sometimes you do everything right, and sometimes you do everything wrong. That's fishing. -- JC
Infidel. reply :
;D These are great.
About eight years ago I was out at Lake Mohave with a some friends for a weekend of wakeboarding & what not and I brought along a small assortment of tackle and my UL rod so I could do a little fishing while everyone else was on shore drinking. I manged to hook myself in the back of the head with a tiny trap on a cast while a group of good looking girls were watching me catch schoolie stripers. :-[ Man did that suck.
kybassangler reply :
Now that is dedication to the sport. ;D
Jeff H reply :
Well....I haven't ever done anything like THAT!! That is just plain funny!! ;D
Humiliation for me was 1 fish in my first Pro tournament. After a somewhat stellar "amatuer" career and being one of the top hooks in my club I decided it was time to try my hand against the best local hotshots and all that money. It didn't go well. However, to my credit the conditions were extremely tough and nobody really produced anything the lake was really worthy of or noted for. There were lots of "zeroes" that day too. I don't know if I got the jitters and brain clog or what that day but it still haunts me. I always wished for a "do over" but the circuit never hit that lake again. I guess it wasn't complete humiliation but it felt awful close to me at the time. It did keep me from making the TOC that year though (I was 1st alternate) and THAT ticked me off.
skunked_again reply :
those are some good ones, i myself have one good one and one i hope to never re-live. one was on tablerock lake way up in the big creek channel. we had caught a few fish and while fishing some stumps i had hooked a nice fish. my brother being my brother says" i wonder if theres another fish in there" and tosses right back to where i was. i swear, his crankbait sat on top of the water for a few seconds and then was sucked under by a fish..........so we thought. he does the whole set the hook thing, braggs a bit, and hauls his catch to the side of the boat (noting its not fighting at all). i lean over the boat to view his catch to see a rather large turtle with the crankbait stuck in its mouth. doug yells cut the line but me knowing thats a $6 crankbait says no.........ill get it. i lean over the boat with long plyers in hand just in time for the turtle to push the hooks out of its mouth, add that with my brother pulling up on the bait with his pole, and i now have a face full of treble hooks straight from the turtles mouth. we all know how clean a turtles mouth is right...........lol. lucky for me, only one of the barbs went through the skill. believe it or not its was easier to turn the hook out of my face than my hands. maybe cuzz i couldnt see what was happening.
the other time was at stockton lake. a storm chased us to the boat ramp and we were in a huge hurry to get off the water. another boater had put his boat on the trailer but had not pulled off the ramp. i waited for a few mins in my truck for him to move then finaly went down there, not real happy and asked him to move. in the middle of my not so nice plead for him to pull up lightning struck behind me scaring me to death. at that point i ran back to my truck like a little girl and waited for the guy to move........which he did.
KU_Bassmaster. reply :
There are only a select few people who I have told this too, so what's 10,000+ ........
About 5 years ago I am fishing a "new" farm pond with one of my buddies. The day is going fine and then all of a sudden I hear and feel the "gurgle, gurgle, gurgle" in my stomach. Breakfest is not agreeing with me!!!!!!! I immediately drop what I am doing and head for the hills so to speak. I find a VERY small bush to give me a little privacy, take off my shorts(don't want to get them dirty. I must have done this before.hmmmmmm :) and go about my business. About half way through I hear "a" truck coming over a hill near by. Impossible!!!!! I am out in the middle of no where ................... except for that small dirt road that I now see....... d**n!!!!!!! The truck comes over the hill, followed by another, and another, and another .... about 10-12. Truck beds loaded with high school kids and a few kegs. Maybe they won't see me ....... yeah right. The parade of trucks went by and proceeded to honk, yell, and wave :-[ :-[ :-[
T-rig reply :
This happend to a friend of mine: He had an upset stomach and had to go "find a bush" every 20-30min. So after doing this about 6 or 7 times he came back with this stupid grin on his face. I asked what was going on and he said: Let's go home! I asked him why. He replied: I have to go home to change my shorts! While he was done doing his thing he slipped and fell in his own you know what! What a mess! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
RobDar reply :
I never fished till I was 30 or so...the wife was a fisher all her life...
the first "fishing trip" we went on, I hooked her in the head.
senile1 reply :
My most humiliating experience (or maybe I should say terrifying) doesn't top justfishin's story or many of the others for that matter. I guess my experience isn't so humiliating because there was no one there to watch, but for a moment I was worried that someone might be around. Here it is from a posting last summer.
I received permission to fish a large farm pond and tried it out yesteday. What a day! I had to fish in a small aluminum boat so I only brought two rods: A baitcaster rigged with a t-rig and my spinning rod rigged with a shad rap. Within 30 minutes I had 3 bass, all around the 3 lb mark, and all on a brush hog. And then it happened. I felt something on my foot (wearing sandals) and I looked down and saw the biggest spider I've ever seen crawling over my foot. It's body (without the legs) was about an inch wide. I jumped and kicked my foot and that was my big mistake. The boat tipped to the side and water rushed in filling it half full. I thought I could paddle to shore but it started to sink. I jumped out and, fortunately, felt the bottom with my feet. The water was chest deep. I pulled the boat through the cat tails lining the bank forging a new path. At the same time i was trying to keep my reels out of the water as much as possible. I got the boat to the bank but it was so steep I could barely pull the boat a foot or two with all the water in it. And that d@#$* spider was still floating on top of the water. I was able to tip it up and get the water out and the spider too. So I cleaned up as well as I could, pushed the boat back into the pond, and continued fishing. I caught 15 bass and 3 bluegill. The bass were almost all in the 3 - 5 lbs range. All but three were caught on a shad rap. My baitcaster wanted to do nothing but backlash after getting the reel wet so I was unable to use it anymore. I had my cellphone with me to take pictures but after soaking it in the water it was ruined also. To top it off, I caught two bass on one cast. One was hooked on the front and one was hooked on the back treble of my shad rap. Both fish were about 18 inches. Weird combination of good and bad luck, as well as a little stupidiy.

jeremyt reply :
Not that I can match some of the other ones, but my wife and I had been dating a few weeks and I had just met her parents. So me being the nice guy that I am I asked my father in law if he wanted to go fishing. So he drove for 2 hours to meet me in the hopes of going out for some sea trout and flounder. I drive about 45 min to the boat ramp I wanted to use, back the boat in the water and go to start her up. CRAP where are my keys. Well needless to say I had left them at home and had an hour and a half round trip to get us in the water. He laughed the whole way. I guess it was all ok he let me marry her.
JayW reply :
No way I can top the first one! ;D
FishTank reply :
I have a couple of funny ones but the one that comes up the most around the house here is this one......
I had decided to buy a new rod and reel at BPS which is about 2 hours away from where I live. I got my wife and kids up at 6:00 am so I could get back in time to try out my set up. We spent about 3 hours there and I came home with a Daiwa Zillion, a G. Loomis MBR 844C and a pink Barbie rod and reel for my 4 year old daughter. Once we got back home we stopped at my favorite honey hole and we all started to fish. After a couple of hours I had caught two dinks and my daughter had bagged about 15 fish including a nice 4lb+ largemouth using her Barbie set up and some 4'' Senkos.
My wife says there is a lesson to be learned but I ain't listening.
HPBB reply :
It was really funny that nobody was there to see it, but when I tell the story everybody bust a gut laughing.
I went fishing on one of my favorite lakes, Yough Dam, got there about 4:30 am and nobody there. "Great I. Think," later I would wish someone was there a little sooner. Got the boat ready and went to back it in the water, using the rope trick. Had the rope in my hand, backed down the ramp and the boat slid right off the trailer. Really nice and just kept going. Then I realized that I never hooked the rope to the boat. looked all around and nobody insight. So I stripped down, nobody at the ramp at 4:30am, so who would see. I swam out to the boat. grabbed on the bow and swam it back to shore. As I am walking up the ramp, Here come a club for their tournament. High beam right on me as 10 or so trucks pull in the parking lot. As George from Seinfield said " It was cold in the pool"

Thats Awsome great story

insaneangler reply :
Everythings funny ;D
I was in the car with my brother once and I pointed at something and brought my hand back down and ripped a rapala off his air freshener and looked to see it very deep in my pointer finger which scared the crap out of me. (Now I am very quick to take the lures down from there when he puts them there) And while driving back to the house he slows down because some guy is ridin' our tail :-/. All the nurses at the ER said, "did you catch the fish?" and I had to say I wasnt fishing :'(

I bet your mom and dad could tell us some stories.
O.K. put a rod & reel with a crankbait in my hand and watch me get humiliated. 
fish-fighting-illini reply :
Justfishing & Sean nobody is going to top those.
Mine is a little more of just plain not paying attention.
We fish a mixture of trolling motor only lakes ( cannot even have a gas motor on the boat) and gas motor lakes. It's on with the gas motor this trip off for next one back and forth. My buddy and I were him-hawing around about which lake and decided to go to the gas lake which is 40mi's away. Got all the way to the ramp no less and finishing getting ready to launch when we notice no gas motor! Arghhhh!
So it was 35mi's back the the elec only lake for the day.
beetlespin91 reply :
the first one is the best, anyways my story takes place at this pond with a main road right next to it, i ride my bike to the pond, now I was there for probably 20mins and i was throwing a rapala jointed minnow and i caught a bass that probably weighed 4 pounds and he got one hook in his mouth and one just past his mouth so instinctivly i take the one on the side out first and as i am going lip him he shakes and that hook that was just on the side of his mouth is now in my thumb as far as it will go, and i cant pull it out and the bass is still trying to shake so i got the hook out of his mouth let him go and i cut the line so i had more freedom with my hand, so now i have to ride home on a sidewalk next to a main road for about 1 and a half miles with one intersections to ride through and i cant stand up and ride because now i have to hold the pole and the handle bar with one hand.I lost count how many people were laughing at me. i had to pull the hook out with pliers which i had failed to bring.
Siebert Outdoors reply :
well I really dont have any humiliating ones. The best one I can think of is:
While out fishing out of my boat I had to poop. So I got out and pooped in the woods like a bear would do. Well when I squatted I touched some poisen ivy with me bum and woowoo's. Well that made for an uncomfortable couple of weeks. So to this day I dont poop in the woods when the plants are green.
Cory N reply :
Ok, this isn't poop falling out of a tree nor does it involve gettin nakey.
This summer I was at Round Lake, my local lake, working the lillies , when a family on kayaks shows up 5 of them. They stare at me, I stare at them, they stare longer because they're kayakers. I sigh, hope I can show off a bit. First cast, huge blow up. Getting the fish out of the thick pads real quick, oooooo aaaaahhhhhh the excitement... and I hear a little tick and my reel is in my left hand, rod in the right. So there I am, taking turns between pulling the fish in with my rod, then trying to crank my reel all the while thinking I should just old man and the sea the SOB. They laughed, I cried (on the inside) about the one that got away.
(I got the whole mess sorted out to see what was going to be my biggest bass ever, for that lake, laugh as it swam around 10 stems still pegged, unhooked itself and then slowly disappear into the murky gloom.)
Low_Budget_Hooker reply :
I have 2.
1. when I lived on the beach, the stripers and blues used our particular cove to corner the bait. It could be a very violent feed at times. Well, about 5am, I hear them out there assaulting the baitfish. (it actually is loud) I went downstairs, grabbed a rod off the wall and walked out into the melee.
In my underwear, up to my waist, surf casting for fish after fish, what a blast.
Then my watch alarm goes off. Time to get in the shower and put the brown polyester on.
I turn to walk back to the house and there are like 70 people casting and enjoying the morning paper and coffee on the beach.
It was a quick trot back to the house in my skivvies.
2. Fly fishing at a private club, I hooked our local sports writer for the Providence Journal. I hooked him with a 1/64 hook in the rim of his nostril (quite a tender spot to sink a tiny hook)
OK, full circle.
This private club was eventually bought by the state for the hatchery it has there. This is the place where we held our Alumni event last month for CAST For Kids.
Guess who covered the event for the journal? 
It was nice to see Tom again and relive our first meeting 15 yrs before. He's a good sport
jdw174 reply :
I've got a couple that might be interesting......
1. I was an outdoor columnist for the Erie Morning News in Erie, Pa. I had hooked up with Joe Hughes, PR director for PRADCO lures and was to take him and his camera man out into Lake Erie to film for a couple of TV shows and for segments in PRADCO's "Best New Lures of the 90's" videos. I was used to fishing on the front deck by myself...never having to worry about anyone else around me. We were fishing new lures from PRADCO, one of them being a Rattling Sonar. I tied one on and went to make the cast when I heard a CLUNK, followed by a very loud OWWWWW!!!!! I had thwacked Joe smack in the back of the head with that 1/2 oz Sonar : . Thank heaven they had the sense to edit that one out ;D . Joe was a good sport and we fished for two days, putting a ton of nice smallies in the boat. Embarassing? You bet, but it only happened once...thankfully.
2. This one happened to a friend of mine who was fishing in a creek arm on Kentucky Lake. He got "the urge" and hung it out over the side of the boat and proceeded to drop a couple of "mud sharks" with his back to the shore. WHile in the middle of this, he hears applause coming from the shore. His wife is laughing hysterically as well. He turned his head and the applause is coming from the 4th green of a golf course that was right on the lake. The foursome on the green was applauding and laughing like crazy ;D . He kinda forgot where he was....

BassHunter69 reply :
ok heres mine getting hooked in the heads one thing but this happened when i was 13 was my 1st attempt with a bait casting reel and i was casting one of my grand dads old rapala's and orginal floater of course. i raise that old mowhawk pole back to take a cast i ended up hooking my self in the butt ,and broke the pole. paw paw didnt have any good pliers at the time to take out the hook so to the emergancy room i go. turns out they didnt have any pliers good for the job either and the old dr's too scared to use any major tools. so the dr hollars out the door for someone to find a fishermen and there i am with a lure hanging out of my butt. had to wait an hour and 1/2 before they found someone who had a pair of pliers that would do the trick. next was the tetnus shot and a band aid on my bum which turns out was a pink abnd aid needless to say to this day thats still a tender subject ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

funny stuff reading this thread.
years ago i was fishing a local river with my dad and brother, and had to go #1, so i put my rod down in the canoe next to me, told my dad i had to go and got the "so stand up and go" response. i stood up in the front of the canoe and started to go, and my brother, being the loving sibling that he is, thought it would be funny to rock the canoe. what he failed to realize is that the lure i was using was swinging freely right next to me. needless to say i ended up with a treble hook where no man would ever care to have one. luckily it didn't get hooked too bad and i was able to gently pull it off.
i haven't gone fishing with my brother since then.
