Bwahahahahaha.....now I coulda expected that out of a Texan, but Okie? Come on, now.....there's got to be more to this story.

lol I love this post... launched my buddy's boat where his dad was already on the water. Start fishing next to him as the boat slowly takes on water. He just looked at us like the idiots we were and asked if we put the plug in... also went duck hunting one day and forgot my shotgun... ducks were happy

Cracking up visualizing someone trying to force their boat on the trailer with the trolling motor down. We all have our moments

Winner!

You know how old I am bro, I have had time to pull every stupid move there is at one time or another.

Dang that's a rough story...

As for the kill switch, I don't think you've been fishing long enough if you haven't pulled the boat out of the water and started diagnosing your motor without a kill switch engaged at least once.

I "accidently on purpose" handed my wife's friend Crawfish Bang spray thinking it was Off.

Either way it was genius and I plan to use it.

I've done so many bone headed things I'll have to pick one.

One morning me & a buddy rush to Twok to try to get on the water before daybreak. I had this old 15' Duckhawk with stick steering. My transom savers were two pieces of 1/2" rope. We get to the ramp and I tell him to get his side of the transom ties off and I start unhooking the bow. I run back there and untie my side of the transom and jump in the boat. I throw a few things from the car into the boat. I jump in the boat and yell for him to start backing me down.

He gets me in the water and bumps the brakes. The boat starts to slide off and I motion for him to pull out. Motor starts right up. He jumps in my hotrod El Camino with the stereo blaring and hits the gas. He literally drags the boat by the starboard side rope up onto the ramp... Backwards... Halfway up onto the ramp! I can still hear the sound of crunching metal and scraping fiberglass.

The lower unit on my 55 Sea King snaps off even with the bottom of the boat and the driveshaft is bent in an L-shape.

We are at Cedar Cove Landing and of course now we are blocking the entire ramp with my boat half out of the water sideways on the ramp.

Of course its a Saturday morning and several other boaters show up wanting to launch. Me & my buddy are standing there scratching our heads trying to figure out what to do next. It takes six of us to push the rig off the ramp into the water. We back the trailer in again and get the boat floated up onto the trailer.

Not long after I graduated from college I was working for a big real estate firm. Strategically kept my Tuesday afternoon clear for a sneak off trip to super hot Gibbons Creek that afternoon. That morning one of the partners asked if we could meet that afternoon at 3:00. Me and my secretary scrambled moving Wednesday afternoon meetings up to that afternoon. Got it done, and I'm going tomorrow! Next day, blew out at noon, hooked the Skeeter to the old Blazer and hauled tail. Hour and a half later I skidded up to the gate to read the sign that basically said: Gibbon's Creek is not open on Wednesday, never has been, and never will. You knew it, and you, sir, are an idiot"!!!!

Not me, but a friend of mine who borrowed my boat backed into the driveway, hooked up, shut the garage and hit the gas... I couldn't go fishing because I had to work, so I let him take the boat. Next thing I know I wake up to the loudest bang I've ever heard at 4 am. Rattled my house, I jump out of bed and can't figure out what the heck I had heard. I'm ninja stealthing around my house trying to see if someone kicked in my door or something, but never could find the source. Oh well, back to bed. Wake up later and walk out into the garage and there it is, the electrical socket was a little sideways, my buddy forgot to unplug the boat and dragged the extension cord out of the wall and under the garage. He said it wasn't a very long cord anymore when he realized what had happened at the boat ramp.

I was fishing up north, gin clear water in a jon boat at night.. I had paddled out a bit and realized I forgot the rods.. (first dumb thing). As we got close to shore, I looked in the water with a head lamp and it looked shallow enough to hop over and walk the boat to the ramp. Well, my depth perception was wayyy off... I jumped over the side and bloop... way over my head. lol.

Second dumb thing, had a bunch of spinnerbaits on top of the rod locker. Went to get a new rod and flung all of them into the lake ouch...

And this one I do a lot... put the live well on fill and forget it and it overflows and I end up having to bilge water out for 20 minutes lol

I thought the winner thus far was the TM down tying to put it on the trailer...but did you really head to the lake without the boat??

Oh and Dude I drug my cord at Grand Costa just a month ago!

I�ll share another that was not me, but I witnessed. Several years ago at BFL regional we were in Arkansas. Made the top 12 cut and partner is putting his stuff in my boat that morning. Another of the top 12 comes hauling into the parking lot, going significantly too fast as I guess he thought he was late. Cuts a corner too tight and jerks the trailer over a squared off curb. Bounces everything into the air blows both tires on port side of trailer and ruins front wheel on trailer. Was awful sight and sound
