So you get to your honey hole, drop the trolling motor, spot lock on, you get your favorite jig out, slide the trailer on and toss it over the edge of the boat ready to flip it in. Its at that exact moment you realize you never tied it on to your line and your jig just went straight to the bottom of the lake.

I’ve done worse. Twice.

Fishing a tourney. I catch number 6. Out a cull tag on it. Get out the cull beam. Decide which is heavier, then throw the other into the lake. With the cull tag still on it. Once it was the heavier fish.

So, yeah, throw baits overboard all the time. Lol.

I did that twice last weekend. Don't think I'd done it twice in my life until then. Funny thing is my buddy did the same thing the weekend before when we were prefishing and I gave him so much chit for it then.

My favorite was when I cut my braid with my scissors and then tossed the scissors instead of the line.

I’ve got that award too. Lol

Luckily, I mostly break off hooks, so don’t have to retie them often. I retie a lot of cranks. Those at least float. Haha.

Done it with spinner bait, cussed, tied on another , cast and watch it fly away because I was mad and tied a bad knot. You just have to smile and sheepishly look around to see who witnessed your stupidity. Now I don’t toss them overboard any more

I've done this no less than a dozen times. I am just as shocked at my stupidity every time it happens.

Pliers..... and worse, my buddy's pliers. I heard a splash, looked down, and the crank was still in my hand. hammer

fishing a brush pile and breakoff,...grab the end off the line and retie, throw the jig back in the water turn around to get a drink and get hung again
in the same spot, without even touching the rod and broke off again,....... bang bang bang

Yep. I am also really adept at re-tying my T-rig carefully to eliminate abrasion breaks ...only to find the weight lying peacefully alone on the carpet. cry

Broke off a good fish in the timber with a spinner bait on Ray Roberts. Got out a new one (last one of the colot and size they were hitting), picked up my rod and dropped the spinner bait in the water next to the boat. Went to cast and that's when I rememberted I had not tied on the spinnerbait.

In a tournament, buddy of mine measured a fish then held onto the fish and threw the measuring board in the lake.

Different buddy, we there fishing Carolina Rigs in deep water on Fork. He was going tio make a cast, reared back and somehow the whole rod and reel slipped out of his hands and went flying into the lake. He reached down and picked up another rod and started casting. I said, do you want to try and snag that rod? He just looked at me with a deanpan voice and said "so you saw that" then he continued "Nah we are in deep water with trees no chance we will get it". So we kept fishing.

I prefer to tie my T-Rig with a weight and a bead, and I feel really "special" when I tie it on with the bead on the line before the weight...Doh!!!
