What have you lost from it going overboard? 2024

Jim Grouch reply :

I think my worst has been a pair of polarized Oakley sunglasses. I was half tempted to dive in after them but realized I had my wallet, keys & cell phone on me. Unfortunately I just watched them disappear as they fell deeper and deeper.

basspro215 reply :

should have used a strap to keep them on your neck ;D

If you had some nice polarized sunglasses on you could have watched them fall even longer without all that glare...

simplejoe reply :

I've lost more packs of cigarettes off the boat than anything else. The one that was the worst, I just started a tournament in the morning and the first run I lost them, it was a long day. ;D

You figured I would of learned, the first couple times but nope I keep losing them.

Helluva_Engineer reply :

I once literally dropped the pliers in instead of the fish. I then went to reach for em and dropped my hat that had my sunglasses and a custom croakie on it(why did i have them on my hat is still beyond me). I tied on a jigging spoon and managed to get the hat back, but gave up on the other stuff after a while.

fishizzle reply :

I retrieved my buddies carrot stick baitcaster combo 3 weeks after he lost it in 10' water by dragging around a treble hook for 45 minutes.

I lost a st. croix rod. It just fell out of my hands then jumped in to grab it and luckily I got it.

florida strain reply :

;DI've lost sunglasses, cell phone, hats, rods, and the worst was myself , here is the short story, as a teenager me and my friend went out in his jon boat .we decided we wanted to make a short run and i was the motor man, standing i pulled and pulled on the rope, it finally cranked at full throttle with the tiller all the way to the side. i got slung out instantly the boat did about three laps around me buzzing by my head before my friend could get back to it to cut it off , i laughed, my friend laughed , and the 10 fisherman watching laughed

Pitchinkid reply :

Had a carrot stick with a Diawai Adv. do a somersalt off of Mcbootens Skeeter. Luckily the rod sock was still on and it had an air bubble in it. Circled around and picked it up. Alot of Strike King and Renegade polo. glasses. Thats why i but the cheap ones, because i know im gonna lose them. The Beast was showing me a new swimbait he bought on his boat and pretty much just threw it in the water. I thought it was supposed to be a slow sink, but it looked like a fast to me. We lost a dog on Jimzees boat. Poor Brody was wanting to lick a fish and got to close to the edge. One hat on the Kanwha river in WV.

Bassin_0502 reply :

My first (cheap) baitcasting set up, trolled for about an hour and got it back.

Several hats, usually they floated long enough to circle back and gab them though.

Top half of a two piece rod, came back as I cranked, startled the hell out of me though.

The Guy reply :

A teenage mutant ninja turtle action figure when I was 5, it was Michelangelo I was upset; Most recently my cell phone

Hooked_On_Bass reply :

The wife's cell phone.

Skeeterman225 reply :

bass or bass ? reply :

Last summer while night fishing, I replaced the 12 volt rechargable battery from my spotlight and left the discharged one on top of the food and drink cooler. Later when I went into the cooler for a drink I heard a loud kerplunk. Bye bye battery!

sage reply :

My worst was a Sage Sp 3pc. flyrod with Lamson lite speed reel total cost was over $1000.00 watched it fall out of the boat and rip down a river in Colorado. Just pulled the back up out and finished the day out. Alot of rounds were bought for me at the bar that night. lol (Now) I have lost other things like sun glasses and cheaper rods , But my Sage is by far the worst.

Beastie Bass reply :

Myself, just a few pairs of pliers and glasses. I was fishing with my 5 yr old boy last year when he dropped in his FAVORITE Hot Wheel, a convertible 70-72 Chevelle. He squealed and cried for 30 minutes and other fishermen in the area were looking around like someone was killing a kid We still look for a replacement everywhere possible, grandpa gave me that car, he says. :'(

JigMe reply :

Let's see. Few years back I was on a head boat fishing for sea bass, and one big wave knocked my tackle box into the sea.

Bubba_Bruiser reply :

I lost a CastAway rod and a Citica reel in the drink and had a sucessful retrieve...2 months later when I saw my lizard in a small patch of grass floating around in the lake. And I lost about $75 dollars worth of spinners and buzzbaits floating the creek one day.

RyneB reply :

I dont know how many pairs of sunglasses I have lost. I jsut buy the $5 wal mart ones now and leave 2 spares in the boat.

I dropped a 12 pack of Harp overboard one time :'(

Didnt lose it overboard, but a funny story. Me and a buddy were at a river. He walked down river, out of sight of me. I took my shoe off to dump the sand out and dropped it. The shoe took off down river. About 20 minutes later my friend comes running back with my shoe. He thought i had drowned or died and lost my shoe in the process.

DINK WHISPERER reply :

Revo SX and Shimano Crucial, couple pairs of Oakleys and the most recent, my brand new BlackBerry Curve about 2 months ago! >

Wild Bill [NY] reply :

So far, just hats and cheap sunglasses getting blown off my head while running on pad.

keepinsane reply :

Ok lets see I have lost numerous pairs of sunglasses pliers oh yeh and my fiance flipped put of the boat early last spring it was funny until she tried to hop back into the flatbottom she almost flipped me and all my gear out. I started heading back to the ramp thinking she was done for the day and she spoke up and said what are you doing I am all wet I have to dry out before I get back in your truck so you might as well keep fishing. boy was I surprised as she pulled out a book ad dripping wet just started reading and didnt say a word the rest of the day.. good times!!! ;D

bassman31783 reply :

My fishing bud sank his boat, so I guess that means he lost everything. HAHA. Thank goodness he had that thing insured.

As for me I would have to say a pair of polarized sunglasses as well. I had them on my hat when a wasp decided that buzzing around my head sounded like a fun time & when I took my hat off to swat him my glasses went flying.

avid reply :

I lost a bunch of tackle, and a pricey rod and reel,

Here's a photo of a tackle box I lost overboard and found almost a year later during a drout.

BassThumb reply :

A few hats, 2 jackets, a pair of Oakleys that were propped on top of my head when I bent over, at least 5 pliers, and a few lures that were on the deck.
