My left side ribs hurt. Why? Went camping this weekend to 13th Lake in the Adirondacks. The lake has big trout but the action was really slow. I was trolling a clauser minnow in my 12 foot canoe, big bait, big fish, right? In the middle of the lake, no one else around I get a good hit, grab the rod and give it a good pull. Next thing I know Im in the water on the left side of the boat and all my stuff is floating around. I crawl back in the submerged boat and gather all of my floating gear. My oars are 4 feet from me, I try to paddle myself to get the oars but they were drifting faster than I could paddle. At the point my oars were 10 feet away, I was ready to just float for several hours until I drifted to shore. After regaining my composure, I was able to reorient myself in the submerged canoe and paddle with my gloves on and catch up to an oar. After a slow ride to shore, dumped the water out of the canoe and headed back to the campsite. Spent the next 2 days drying my stuff. Quite an experience.
