Brenda Fournier-Lacourciere My scariest moment was out on Lake Huron in our cuddycab and some fog rolled in. I could not see my hand in front of my face and, as we were headed back to the dock, we came about a foot away from crashing into another boat. We now know how dangerous the fog can be and will never be out in it again.
David Winnie Fishing the bayou and going to land a bass and alligator came up and ate it about few inches away from my hand. Had to fight alligator for few before line finally broke.
Lee Coggin My scariest moment on the water was when I reached down to pull my motor up and a copperhead greeted my hand with two bites… All day in er waiting to see if I would get sick
Stephen C LaRose 5 minutes left to the tournament. We are about 5 minutes from the ramp in a normal 60 mph boat. I am fishing out of a buddies bullet.

Shawn Skinner Salmon fishing with my dad on Lake Ontario in a 16 ft Lund landed a beauty fish then the wind turned for the worst !!!!! Waves started coming over the front !!! My dad made me call my mom and tell her we might not make it in and told her to go to the marina and get help . 3 kms and 3 hrs later we made !! Deffinitly the worst feeling in the world .
Jim Ward Lake Erie.12 footers in a storm..so scared I could’nt puke!
James Nelson My partner and I almost ran head on into a barge coming out of a fog bank at the BASS CLUB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP on the Mississippi river out of Prairie Du Chien Wi. My Save Phace Mask saved our lives.
Garret L Ballantine Having my drain plug fall out going across lake mead and almost sinking. Had to keep it wide open all the way back to the landing to keep it above water.
Allen Seigl Fishing a tournament on the Pool 4 Mississippi River. I only had two fish in the live well and needed 3 more to make my limit with 1.5hrs to go. The sky turned black, the rain started to fall and the bite was on! My co-angler and I grew more and more concerned of the storm because its was now thundering and sounded really close. We contemplated in heading into the weigh in but as I stated the bite was on and he and I both needed one more fish each. As we made are next cast I could feel this weird electrical feeling in the air. When I casted I didn’t hear my bait hit the water. I turned to look and my line and texas rigged worm were both suspended in mid air out about 15 yards. I turned to my co-angler and said its time to GO! We no more slammed are rods to the deck and lightening struck an old oak tree about 100 yards away and completely blew it apart sending wood fragments into my boat. About that time both me and my co-angler needed a change of underwear as I fired up the outboard and hauled butt to the weigh in. We where the not so smart and very luck last boat to come into the weigh in. I did end up cashing a check that day but the best reward of all was learning from our experience and living another day to talk about it.
Cody Cameron Bass fishing when I caught a little smallie and just was going to grab the fish at the side of the boat in mid air a huge HUGE musky jumped out of the water and grabbed my smallie just missing my hand. it almost gave me a heart attack!!!
