been a ruff season, so what have you lost

A question was posted.....what have you lost ...man some of the things listed are amazing....
I have lost 3 full fly box's so far this year (thanks brother in law ) had a guide series gander mountain 9 ft 8 wt stolen with a ross big game 4 reel set for steel head...had yet to catch a fish on eather....got the rod for my son..( new one on its way very soon)
had my waders blow out of the truck after my buddy neglected to close the tail gate, met every fish cop in every state I have fished, some more than once ( 4 states ) ( no tickets just lic checks ), slid down some steep hills in the lovley state of PA broke another rod there, put a few holes in my waders that blew out of the truck, ( was time for some new ones any ways), went steel head fishing last weekend hooked 21 and to add insult to injury I landed zero all the while getting slammed by my buddys who were fishing not too far from me and saw most hook ups... any one know the cost of bowling cause it's got to be cheeper than this sport, I figure I am up to round $1500.00 sofar and it is just the beginning of the spring season.......so how is your season going ? what have you lost?

Frogpoop,

Tough luck buddy! Keep your head up.

I am looking forward to the second half.....now the quest continues for a new reel and next payday more tieing materials, and next pay.......

Too funny, JC.
Lost my famous watermelon-colored flats shirt, I think Linda let the pit bulls tear it up. "She" thinks I gave it to the son-in-law, and I know damned well I would never do such a stupid thing (I paid five bucks for that Orvis Bonehead shirt!!).

Hey JC it sounds like one of those " ya just had to be there" stories. AND YOU WERE.
Amazing coincidence.

The other day I was fishing and found a bowling ball rolling along the bottom. I saw a split in the middle with some line running through it. I bet it was JC trying to get to the bottom during the spring run off. He must have run out of split shot.
