Had a "bull's eye" moment on Highland last weekend. Fished in the narrows, slow fishing, managed a keeper perch on a tilt, pulled it in and had my buddy grab my pliers in the shanty. Another buddy was right next to me when the perch shot the shiner out of it gullet like buck slug directly into my eye. Been fishing for a while, but that was a first.

I've lost plenty of sounders to holes, trying to clip them to my jacket!

I have a quote in my fishing house what you own will go through this hole

Thats why I keep my phone in zippered pocket. Don't need anyone bothering me when fishing. Bummer to lose a phone tho , so much stuff on there , I always back mine up now.

lowaccord66 · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 30, 2016, 07:22 AM »

I normally do but I use it a lot with the navionics app and forgot to zip the pocket closed. Doh!

those holes are a magnet for gear.

Dropped a brand new knife down a hole in ten feet of water last winter.Following morning brought my pool vac pole with two telescoping magnets duck taped to the end of it and probed the bottom for about 10 minutes and retrieved that sucker. I have a witness. I have had jigging poles dragged into the hole twice and retrieved them both with weighted treble hooks on the end of a line. The second time it happened there was a 18 inch pickerel on the jig. i will see if i can dig up the pictures.

At Gardner Lake I had a Frabill Ice light fall off my tip up into the hole. Didn't want to try and grab it too quick and accidentally knock it under the ice because they float. Was gona take my time and just pick it up carefully, well apparently this one didn't, just slowly started falling down and down and down, blinking red the whole way to the bottom.

Thanks for the laugh! The struggle is real,no matter what,I always have stuff all tangled at some point every trip

jammer icecube · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 01, 2017, 07:28 PM »

I just had a pike pull my dead stick straight down the hole, it was anchored and I could not jig it up crossing lines....getting slow in my old age.

Hey y'all. Had the bottom half of my hand auger separate foam the handle and dis sapear in 15' of water! Had the camera with us. It took an hour with a pike rig but my son and I got it back!!!! Got a wetness (te-pe)!!! One of my BEST catches!! would have been a long quiet ride home without it.

LOL

So far I've been lucky, only lost one multitool (which was brand new, of course) and a bunch of baited hooks and depth finders that I didn't realize weren't clipped onto my tip up line when I deliberately dropped them in the hole.

So that means I'm due to drop a phone or camera down there.

Thought I lost my favorite folding knife last year. Barely a snow cover so I knew I should have been able to find it. After I finally accepted it fell down a hole I put my hands on my pockets only to find one of them had a hole. It did down the inside of the lining of my bibs and was down near my ankle the whole time.

Lost my multi-tool this week. Went back the next day to find it. Didn't plan on fishing, but set up the tipups while I looked. I caught a 25" salmon while looking for the tool. I eventually found the tool beneath 1" of rain that had frozen. Silver lining in every cloud.

Awesome find and catch!!! I know how much that Swiss tool means to ya Scott.

This is my second one. My first was given to me by my brother in law for being in his wedding and has my initials on it. Currently, that one is at the bottom of Lillinonah... My second one is still ticking.
