Your co-angler sets the hook and sends the lure bouncing off the boat...

Happens. Get more upset when drawing a co that smokes or chews

Good point, I really don't want your tobacco spit on my carpet.

[WVBullet]

I kinda cringe, and let it roll off like water off a ducks back, It is kinda part of it, dings are going to happen. I do draw the line at someone stepping on my top cap while fishing or getting in or out of the boat, the boat has a floor, step into and out of the boat, the top cap is not a step or standing platform.

This is exactly how I feel

[jjue1979]

I still run a 40 year old boat with scratches and imperfections since stuff happens.

[SteezMacQueen]

The only thing that gets me fired up is trash in the boat and pee on the top cap. Clean up and aim a little better is what I tell em.

[WVBullet]

You know cap and floor are all one piece, right? Bass boats are built in two pieces. Hull bottom and cap/liner.

Yeah, but the carpet doesn’t shine. If you have a beautiful top cap, why mess it up? A lot of money in that boat.

[Missedone]

It is an accident and not a mistake. It is a part of fishing.

[Fuzzy12]

Had a guy throwing a ball and chain and reeling in over passenger seat. After about 5 times bouncing it off the side, I did ask him to be more careful…was easily avoidable. He then proceeded to bounce it off outboard. I’ve never once hit someone’s boat and it’s my favorite technique….

[geodebasser]

That’s why I keep touch up paint for those small dings,

[El_Guapo]

I don’t really give it much thought, since it’s not intentional and is going to happen sooner or later.

The only time I’ve ever gotten irritated was when the offending individual (sister in law’s boyfriend that I didn’t like in the first place) yanked his oversized 1/2 oz worm weight out of a tree, and knocked the corner off my windshield then had the stones to laugh about it. Same clown thought it was funny as hell when he spilled one of those fruity-assed 3000 calorie Starbucks latte things all over the back seat of my truck.

[Lightning 6]

It happens.

I will get pissed if a co-angler spills spike-it dye on my sears, carpet or gelcoat because of carelessness.

[rboren]

Gonna happen every now and then. 10 times in a row you got the wrong partner.

[adchunts]

It happens. No biggie. I was fishing with a guide on Okeechobee about 15 years ago and he had a brand new Skeeter. We were fishing the mats with 1.5 and 2 ounce punch weights. He sent one into the side of his boat at about Mach 2. Just shook his head and kept fishing. I’m just glad it wasn’t me.

[west_tn]

My partner is bad about this. After about the 3rd one of the day I give him a wtf look, and he says his bad.

[RipRapRanger]

I've got a co-buddy (my best friend) that will inevitably whack the cowling a couple of times with a lure every time we're out. I just rib him and laugh about it saying he should learn how to cast. Luckily Rude must have put some good paint on that motor 19 years ago because its never dinged it. I did however just make a repair on the passenger back rest where he evidently drug a tackle box or something to the back deck and put a small rip in the upholstery. Neither one of us noticed it until we were putting the boat away. I pointed it out and he said mmm. . I wonder how that happened. Yeah I wonder Easy fix but it was new skins damn it

The aim is fine…. It’s that dribble…. And some just don’t have the tool to get it to outside the boat!!

[marshman]

I think muddy shoes from picking up a partner at the ramp can be a pretty legit gripe…. Lure hitting the boat is an accident. Or it should be an accident and not happen again….

[2dwoods]

I can't be mad ,the few times I ride I'm the worse ill stick a treble into a seat in a heart beat

[JR19]

For those that get upset when a hookset comes flying back and the bait hits the boat and you get upset I want to know what type punishment do you give yourself when your the boat owner and you done it yourself. Its part of fishing. There a difference between beating on someone's boat and things that happen naturally throughout the day. In my 40 years of boating there has only been one time I went with someone and it was twice in the same day...my first and last time. One guy didn't want to take me to the bank to piss because he did not want to scratch his boat and he did'nt want me to piss overboard because piss will dry and stain the gel coat. I was like dude if I dribble on the gel coat I'll wash it off. My choice was hold it or empty the Gatorade bottle I had and piss in it.

I have personally seen the worst. The jig pulled loose crashing through the screen of the GPS/ Sounder. Oops. He offered to help with the replacement cost.
