Default Down the hole

I was out fishing tonight and my friend's son dropped my spud down the hole. GRRRRR! What have you dropped down the hole lately?

We did this thread last year, too. Quite entertaining if I remember correctly. Me, personally, only thing I've tossed in the drink was a spud.

Sunglasses and a fisherman's multi-tool (pliers, knife, etc..)

A reel, but not the rod, after spooling up with fresh line.

Once I hollard to my bud to lift his trap style shanty and I'd slide him a refreshing beverage You guessed it, they don't float! Then as he looked down to try and make a grab at it, in went his sunglasses. Not to long after that he lost a nice walleye. Guess he chummed it in

A whole small tackle box full of tear drops and jigs! The bad part was I could see most of them still glowing. And a pager

As I said last year it's a good idea to leave the hole doors closed until you are ready to fish. The roof support poles fit down the hole nicely !

My buddy kicked a propane heater down the hols last year but we got it back. A couple lures, a friend dropped his sunglasses but caught them with his hook. I guess nothing of any real value.

Let's see, while poking around for a snowed over hole from the day before, "yep it should be right about........yep there it was, spud slipped through the hands and gone. A friend dropped my mag light down the hole in thirty feet of water that stayed on and we could still see it. We had a smelt light for the rest of the night but didn't help we were fishing for walleye. Oh and then I was changing pimples and reeled the one up, took it off the line, took the minnow tail off and put it on the new one, then tossed the new one right in the hole. It helps to put it on the line first.

I'admit to throwing my buddies spud down the hole on Otsego lake this year making our "sturgeon aquarium".

Saturday night the fish were not biting and the beer was still cold so..., well my buddy put my wifes new pretty coo LED flashlight down the hole that she got for Christmas-from her dad (I was just borrowing it)-two of her brothers were also with me. I sure hope my buddy intends on replacing that, I've alredy agreed to buy a new one.

Another goo question is what have you lost that blew across the ice?

While it may not seem to have much of a dollar value, you can quickly realize how priceless a Bic lighter can be while you watch it sink to the bottom of the lake. I manged to pick it up with a treble hook, pull it up inches from the hole, and have it fall back down at least ten times. When I finally got yanked it up thru the hole you would have thought I caught a whale from all the hoot'n and hollowerin'!!!

My wife and I were fishing Vinyard Lk in Irish Hills and I almost had a limit of gills,my wife had 3,sitting right next to me,using the same set up and was getting pretty steamed about her inability to catch fish.She then proceedes to drop her lighter that had a cover on it made of silver and turquoise that a close friend of ours had given to her and she really cherished it.We tried everything to get it back but it was a no go.I started teasing her about getting mad about not catching many fish and throwing the lighter in the hole.The more I teased the madder she got.Needless to say it was a pretty quiet ride home
