Fess Up! 2013 Bloopers and Blunders

[Hooked4Life]

Had the opportunity to re-cap the season with my brother on Christmas. Although we had a lot of great times & great fish, it came with price. List your year’s blunders!
*disclaimer: Bought first boat this year so cut me some slack

• First time out: dead battery on elec. only lake.
• Snif snif….smoking wires on trolling motor --time for some on-water surgery.
• One broken rod --- ok two, but the second was my brother’s fault.
• Water in gas tank through tank vent when water came over the back when beached (bad idea in a mod-V) led to stall on GL and a tow back to ramp. Foot went thru hatch when grabbing for tow-rope and stepped on screw leading to tetanus shot. What a day!

That’s all --for now--on a better note, discovered the shed and learned enough to yield some great fish. Can’t wait for 2014.

Ok—you’re up!
