G-Loomis Crank Bait Rod w/ MGX reel...gone
1-i phone
30 of my favorite hats
2 pair of Oakley 1/2 jackets
1 pair Costas
several baits which I cut the wrong "tag end" and dropped in the water only to watch them disappear!

Couple rods over the years, one was a boat rod while trolling for white bass. Got hung on a rock and pulled out of my then girlfriends hands. She didn't know how to tell me so she just didnt. Lol she's an ex now. Lost a couple anchors,mostly offshore. Lost a 357 magnum, recovered that one once, a brand new galaxy s3, tackle box sank with a pontoon boat on Livingston when I was younger. Etc etc...

WOW !! Sure, I have lost two things by my own carelessness but, I have learned to TIE EVERYTHING DOWN and check if all is secure BEFORE moving on. Been lucky I guess, haven't lost nearly so much as some on here have.
Seems my loss lesson was fairly inexpensive, compared to some here.
I can't/won't dive 31' for anything! Glad some of ya'll have gotten your things back
Worm bag (w/baits) and 1 rod/reel combo are pretty inexpensive lesson .... I WON'T FORGET!!

My boss fished the Basscat Owner's Tournament on Rayburn with me last year and left his tackle bag on the back deck at blastoff. Lost it somewhere between Casell Boykins Ramp and the 147 bridge. 25 years worth of a tackle collection sits somewhere on the bottom of Rayburn.

I had a brand new crank bait rod/reel somehow slip out of the bungee and fly off the deck about 50 mph yesterday on Conroe. I didn't see it, just heard something strange. I was amazed how stoic I was in the face of loosing a couple hundred bucks so quickly. I was 100% certain it was on the bottom of the lake. I have no clue why but I turned around and putted back over my path and sure enough the rod was floating just under the surface. I think the cork handle, glass rod, and large crankbait I had tied on provided just enough buoyancy to keep it afloat for a couple of minutes anyway. Rod handles toward the bow! Lesson learned.

That's why my next boat will have taller gunnels then my Skeeter

Last year, Falcon trip, north / south wind, got pretty rough, my partner left a Big Bag sitting on back deck, he had be securing it to the seat. Well he forgot, he said prob $2500 worth went to the bottom. Rest his soul he passed away in February, I'll never for get that trip it was your last together. As for me 2 pair of Costas on Amistad.

I have lost two pairs of Oakleys. One of them I hooked off the side of my face with a crankbait and casted them into the lake. Haha.

Also have lost two cell phones. Have gone in the water after rods a few times.

I fished a tournament about 5 years ago. As I arrived to my first spot, I quickly jumped up to take my life jacket off. My kill switch cord some how wrapped around my boat keys and as I jumped up, the kill switch cord yanked out the keys and bungeed them about 50 feet into the water. Those particular keys did not have a floaty key chain

Had my favorite flipping reel on a brand new 7'6" X HVY Rod. Never Been used. Hung it with a c-rig and into the water. I cried.

I got lucky the other day. I was fishing in a pond in my kayak, and got too close to some low hanging trees along the shore line. I had a milk crate with PVC tubes in the back of the yak and three rods were standing up in. When I got up against the trees, it tipped the milk crate and one rod and reel went in. It was a Skeet Reese swimbait rod with a Lew's reel on it. Even though the rod was yellow and the water not real deep, I could not see it. I moved back about 10 feet from where I thought it went in and started casting with a rattletrap lure and after about 8-10 casts, I managed to snag it with one of the treble hooks on the lure. Thank you Lord!!

A couple of pairs of sunglasses (luckly cheap ones), a green Curado 200 on a brand new cranking rod (luckly a cheaper BPS rod), two pairs of cheap reading glasses (one last weekend), a 25 inch golden rule. I was running down Fork forgot it up front almost reached up to grab it as it flew off but though better of it. I'll bet at volicity that thing could amputate fingers. A couple of hats and a winter beanie type hat.

That's about it so far.

Ya'll sure make me glad by rig will only go some 40mph on the water and NOT 70! Lord I hate to think what all would be blown out or over the side........
Know it's NOT funny to lose anything but, that's the first thing came to mind.

Add a pair of Wiley x's to my list lost em this morning lol

My gosh, this is a clumsy bunch of folks!
By the way, if anyone is fishing the reed patches on the lower end of lake Cooper and hooks two more rod and reels, they're mine. That was my first trip in new boat. I saw one go over the side to my right and when I stretched out to get it, I kicked off one rod and reel on the left side of casting platform.
Fishing and sex both make me realize how old I'm getting!
