I bought a spinnerbait I was really excited to use, while idling out of the no wake zone I tied it on, clipped the wrong line and threw a brand new bait over the edge. What are some of your stories?

Second day of a big bass tournament I catch a fish I'm thinking about going to weigh in. Started going through my mind what all I had to when I get there and bam! Realized I had never renewed my fishing license since I hadn't been fishing in a long time:( I stopped fishing and felt like a complete idiot to my partner. Glad I didn't catch a BIG fish!!

Forgot to fill up the boat once. . .and had to cover a few miles with the trolling motor. That one really sucked.

Man that was a long troll back! Finally ran into a pontoon after about an hr and half on the trolling motor! I ALWAYS check the tank now!

My BIL forgot to take off the plastic hook tube protector on a buzz bait and lost two good fish before he checked it during a tourney! All we could do was laugh about it.

Launched my boat in Chaney at Fork and decided I was just going to drop the trolling motor and start fishing from there. Got all the way to Taylor branch and decided to start the big motor to go somewhere else... Dang! the keys were still in my truck. That was a long way back trolling.
