ha ha ha some funny stories for sure. here are a few of mine, the best one was my dad. he was fishinf by himself at poway. had 1 rod with a roostertail and 1 with bait. well as he was casting the lure it caught the bait and cause a short cast. which stuck the roostertail right in the top of his head. he had to go to the big H and get 3 stiches and the lure removed. as for myself birds,frogs,1 snake and the best one yet. i was night fishing at the river for big flathead. i had been casting over and over to the same spot and letting the bait drift. well i go to cast one more time and hear a big smack. not a water smack, all of a sudden i hear a guy screaming in the dark. scared the crap out of me. shine the flash light out in the water and see a guy buck naked standing in his boat and his girl is looking at his back. i had casted right in the boat and hooked him while they were getting down. he seemed pissed at first, but his girl could not stop laughing at him, so the mood lightend a bit and we both went are ways. i geuss that he learned to use a boat light after that.:o
