Most embarrassing moment while fishing?

[keithdog]

What is your most embarrassing moment while fishing. I'll start with mine. When I was a boy we would always spend our summer vacations in Minnesota on a week long fishing trip. The year I was 15, the resort owners grand daughter was there. Ohhhhhh I was in LOVE!!! She was so cute, and hung great with the guys. She loved to fish, knew how to fillet and even made cash filleting for the guests. She was funny and......ok, so I'm still infatuated with her, haha. Anyways, one day I'm looking out my cabin front window out onto the lake and the large horseshoe shaped pier and I see her out there on the pier casting for pike along with several others. Sooo, I grab my gear and head out there. I'm casting away, looking cool and talkin smooth trash to her the whole time. I've just GOT to hook into something BIG to impress this gal I'm thinking. But honestly, most of my attention is on her and not on what I'm doing. Suddenly I take one step back and SPLASH! Nooo, I didnt fall into the lake exactly. There was a bait box built onto the side of the pier the owner sold live minnows from. It was about 2 foot wide and 4 foot long, and someone had left the lid open. And while watching the love of my summer vacation, I stepped back off the pier and landed backwards right inside the bait box, and I was stuck! Everyone came running including my now, "no way in hell", love of my life. Ohhhh, laughter filled the air. What a site it must have been. It wasn't such a great site from my point of view! After the laughter had subsided, the guys on the pier pulled me free, and I slinked off to my cabin, smelling like a minnow. Thank God we were going home the next morning. I can't imagine what a few more days of vacation would have been like after that.
