Took a bath today in the pequest lol.....
The sacrifices you do to get fish in the net sometimes. Fished the musky today. But was getting skunked. the river was ripping & water level was high. Drove to the pequest to avoid getting skunked for the day. ( I know getting skunk it part of fish ). I get a few nice fish. Then working my way down the river. This big gurl gets on my line. Immediately peels about 30 feet running down stream. I follow. I trip a few times . I fall in the water a few times . But I got the fish in the net
The price of getting fish sometimes

Price we pay. I really make an effort to keep things zipped up. How many phone and packs of smokes lost?!? Gladly, I don't smoke anymore and rarely bring the phone. I find I am a calmer angler if the promise of a fish pick doesn't make me rush to get a fish to net.

Been there myself, took a dip in the Musky a couple of years back.

I just tell my fishing buddies I was trying to get a closer look at the macroinvertebrates in the river.

wish they was . They would have @ least dried faster & I wouldn't had to have free balled on the drive home. But Now I pack a extra pair of undies in my stashBiggerThomas wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 8:58 amHey Troutman, are those Victoria Secret underwear?

My F-150 Supercrew has a locking storage unit under the entire back seat that doubles as a gun safe. I keep an old pair of blue jeans, a warm pair of wool socks, an old pair of underwear, a warm sweatshirt, and an old pair of Crocs in one side. I call it my "7-11 outfit" because it's just fancy enough to run into a 7-11 for a hot cup of coffee to warm you up after bobbing for apples in the Paulinskill or Musky, or SBR, or.....Troutman wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 4:51 pmwish they was .

going in for a dunk in the summer is okay for me. Actually feels refreshing sometimes. But man winter is a different story. Luckily for me I had a wading-back support belt on that kept alot of the water out . I had my service vehicle with me. So I keep a some spare work clothes on hand. But just no undies
