Lots of rods and reels.....and probably a jillion lbs of lead in the form of downrigger weights in increments of 10 lbs each. [:)][:)] Many trolling flashers and dodgers and one brand new 20 HP Evinrude outboard motor in 500 ft of water. [:(][:(]

oh - CGR reminded me - my sea ray almost ended up at the bottom of the Potomac River. I forgot to put back the drain plug and was cruising my myself towards my dock. Got about 1/2 way from shore and 1/2 way there and realized the boat was riding low and slow. Looked in the bilge and saw lots of water! I hit the sump (didn't have an automatic sump) and headed to shore and beached it. I had a spare plastic plug that did not fit right as I could not find the plug. Once beached it took about 15 minutes for the sump to drain it and I got back under way. 0 -

Our's actually sunk. It was due to male stupidity and testorone. The boat was tied to the side of a house boat when a couple of the guys though they try to pull the front up as high as it would go. Sort of a "Whose the bigger strong guy on the house boat game".
Well they pull and then decided to tie it off like that. It was up too high and the though hull exhaust was under water. Over night it sunk. The water wasn't that deep, but deep enough that the back of the boat touch the bottom the front stayed tied to the house boat.0 -

I've done that myself...but managed to get back to the ramp, run up and back my truck/trailer into the water, pull the boat back on the trailer and get it out to drain...good thing too b/c it was a buddy's boat!0 -

A 9.9 Mercury Motor
2 knives (in one day)
2 pair sunglasses
1 pair peeerless handcuffs
I UMCO aluminum tackle box with tackle
1 sleeping bag
1 LL Bean Shirt
The motor wasn't actually mine but I had to do so much paperwork, I would have rather paid for it. The sunglasses came off when I turned my head at high speed on a boat. The knives were dropped when I was cutting some ilegally set nets. The cuffs fell out of my belt when working. And the rest of the stuff was stolen from my friends camper after I arrested a guy while off duty. He came back at night and broke into my friends camper that I was using and stole a bunch of my stuff, took it out in his boat and tossed it into the Au Sable River. He ended up paying for it in the end.0 -
Back in 1974 my Brother and some friends of ours were canoeing on the Colorado River in Texas. My brothers Canoe capsized and they lost all their fishing gear, sleeping bags, food, 35 mm camera, and a Marlin 22 rifle.

Not so much. One anchor- shaft I still have, the rest is on the bottom. One pair of clip on sunglasses. A very small and cheap knife. A lot of sinkers and hooks and lures. 0
