I was fishing off a cause-way and got my lure hooked up. The edge was concrete and about 20 degrees steep. My smart mind told me to break line. My fishermind told me to not let nature beat me. So I started down. Bam, spouting water,grabbing glasses, trying to not drown while laying on my backin I-don't-know-how deep water. Get out of water, and have to climb back off the cause-way. Only thing saves me is a treeroot. The worse is having to tell wife I killed cellphone. But, oh it was glorious to survive and get scared. Was I stupid?

Wife LET me buy new cell, but non-commital about lures. WARNS ME EVERY TIME we pass even a puddle, TO never fall in water again. Hard to take bath under such sanction.

Naw, you weren't stupid. That's about average for a fishing trip. What's the fun in everything going perfectly right. Once several years ago I sank a Jon boat in near freezing water and lost a $25 stainless Aladin thermos full of coffee trying to retreave a $2 lure from a tree branch. Heck of a fishing trip! My brother-in-law won't go fishing with me any more, though. Something about not enjoying having to swim about 50 yards in near freezing water and towing a swamped boat to get to a place where we could get out. Dang sissy!!

Just think, for one 75 cent lure ... you've got a great fishing story.
