Lost the net a couple of times. Luckily it floats for a while.

Almost lost the key to my boat in a tournament. Co angler hooked it right out of the ignition switch on the back of a cast and sent it flying into the horizon. Luckily it had one those buoy key chains on it and I eventually found it.
Other than that a side cover from a Revo and a pair of costas.

At my last stop last weekend after a terrible tournament I lost my oldest Curado on a old 7'medium pole that I used for small crankbaits. It was sad watching it go over.

Had a few things 'blow overboard' and I didn't know it until my next fishing spot. Small bag of worms/baits and one fairly nice rod and reel leuger) and ? can't remember the bait on EM. I learned a lesson and trying not to forget that one. TIE EVERYTHING DOWN BEFORE GETTING UNDERWAY!! Ya'll making me feel a lot better, I thought this was surely just something that happened to a new/novice boater/fisherman !! Man, I wonder how much 'stuff' is at the bottom of our lakes...makes you wonder (Pf

Back in the 90's a buddy came fishn with me and he left his two sided Plano crank bait box on the back deck after tying on a bait, we then left for a long run up lake.....we got to where we were going and were fishn and he said have you seen my crank bait box ?....we back tracked and never found it...one side was regular plastic cranks and the other was original Bagley's !!! Over 60 irreplaceable baits lost to the bottom of the lake...

Many years ago I was fishing a pro am on Toledo Bend, a blue norther blew in and it was below freezing and we had sleet, I went and bought me a full face motorcycle helmet for about 150 bucks so I could run the lake without freezing to death, after the first stop I had set it behind drivers seat, well I forgot about it when we went to the next spot, it is somewhere on the bottom of the lake now.

Yep a 3 foot pink Barbie zebco combo. Tried like heck to blow it off until I looked into the tear whelped eyes of a four year old daughter. Got out the jigging spoon and dragged the area for a couple of hours, when I drug it out of the lake it was like Santa had came again. ding ding we have a winner!

Plenty of stuff. Most embarrassing was a month ago on Roberts--shoes and socks got wet putting in the boat by myself. Took them off and laid them in front of the console on the deck to dry off. Forgot and went on plane--shoes and socks flew by me and into the water. Shoes floated so circled back and picked them up--lost the socks.
