It's time for a "HAVE YOU EVER" contest. (feel free to post as many as you want and make it a goal not to be outdone. Explain it though).
I'll start:
HAVE YOU EVER been smashed/smushed under a boat dock.
I know that sounds lame, but!
I was fishing one of my favorite lakes. Lake &*%%$%# (Chicot). My trim goes out on launch which is no problem, I'll just plow water. No fish on my 1st stop and an hour into the tx, I end up too close to the bank and my skeg gets on top of a stump. 2hrs in and I'm finally off the stump.
Time to switch to dock fishing.
1st dock I hook up with a 3lber. I know it's a 3 because he will come up when I give slack, and go down when it tighten up. My line is under a cross brace about 6ft deep.
Realizing the importance of a fish at Lake &*%%$%#, I let out some slack, grab the net, lay belly down on the deck, slide up under the overhanging dock platform, and proceed to make blind stabs back in behind the pilings.
About that time, a boat goes by and here comes the wake. I didn't think about that until the 1st wake rolled thru. Then, all I could think about was the rest of them.
I was wondering how the accident report was going to read....
I was headed home 30min later.
