A couple of casting nets.

Couple of dozen pairs of glasses. I still haven't learned not to turn around and look at WOT.

Lots of scales, as well as several pairs of hook removers. All of these were lost in the same pattern.
Weigh fish or remove hook, throw scales or hook remover in lake and throw fish in floor of boat.
I stopped buying scales it is such a problem.

Two rod and reel combos; got one back. Prolly a few hats. Lots of high dollar lures. I'm a real stickler for putting everything away when I'm done with it so there isn't much to fall out or drop on the deck of my boat. Both combos I threw in the lake. A combination of heavy lures and sweaty hands.

A dog? That's sad. My dogs jumped overboard but I never lost them to the bottom.

Maybe the biggest thing - a motor. That ruined the whole day.

We had a little dog once that jumped off the boat and sank like a rock. It was shallow water and my brother was able to get him back up quickly. He must have held his breath because he never coughed or nuthin, but he wouldn't jump out of the boat anymore after that.
I've lost rods, glasses, phones, anchors, boat seats, hats, knives, measure boards, tackle box, and about two thirds of the fiberglass off the bottom of a brand new skeeter boat once at lake fork.
Have found quite a few items that others lost also to make up for some of it.
