Caught a filleted lake trout on a downrigger set 55ft deep. Had a crazy drunk chick hell bent on swimming back to shore cuz she wanted to go back 10 minutes into the trip. She ended up going down stairs and passing out for a few hours and it was great we were trolling for fall king's and were doing well. When she woke up in a rage even worse then before even layed on the back deck and kicked and screamed like a little kid. She went back down stairs for a minute and my buddy tells me start reeling em in were Done we had 6 leadcore lines and two down riggers out when out of the corner of my eye I see her come upstairs and throw her life jacket down and just like that she jumps overboard in 3ft waves. 60 degree water. Luckily I threw the life ring right to her as no life jacket on her. Then had to circle back and put the boat right along side her to extend the net to her to grab onto which she refused to do causing me to have to circle back and do it again before she gave up and let us help her. We have a 26 ft cabin cruiser and we're in big waves pretty hard to do without running a person over and scary. Let's here your crazy stories from the lake!!!
