#11953, "RE: Your dumbest trip ever"
In response to In response to 5


  

          

Way back in the 90s, before I had any clue about swimbait fishing, I went night fishing with a buddy at Los Banos reservoir. We arrived around 10 pm, parked illegally on top of the dam, slayed a bunch of bass burning rattle traps, then went back to my truck to find the battery had died. We ended up getting out without any trouble, but the best part of the night was catching a 4.5 lb bass at around 3am on a frozen anchovy while we waited to flag someone down.

Also... glory days of San Pablo. I had a plastic pond prowler boat back then, and not enough money for good batteries. I think I did a couple trips in a row there, one involving a 40 pound limit, paddling the boat back to the ramp with my landing net :)

That pond prowler provided all kinds of opportunities for boneheadery. Fell out of it twice, the first time standing on top of the swivel chair while fighting a 8-10 lb bed fish. Word to the wise, swivel chairs are not a reliable standing platform in an 8 foot boat...
