Left home and about 2 1/2 hours into a 3 hour drive to the fishin' hole and suddenly remembered I forgot my tackle box. I remembered where I left it too...right there on the steps to the sidewalk where I knew I wouldn't forget it. I had an inline spinner on the one rod I had with me and I was still able to catch one or two fish believe it or not.
Another time leaving the fishin' hole...I left my dag gone little small tackle box on the roof of my buddy's car....it was dark outside and a little ways down the road we thought something fell from some tree's and scraped his roof. I suddenly remembered: "Nope, that was my tackle box, let's turn around and see what we can find"...Tackle everywhere, on the road, in the grass, etc...recouped some of it but not all of it. It was one of those little tackle boxes that fit inside your waders, believe it or not, a fella can get a lot of money tied up in one of those racals!
