OK, I've got one.

When my buddy and myself were fishing the MSBA tourny, my wife called me on the cell several times during the day.
I got pretty aggravated about it.
Near the end of the day Tom was into a nice fish near one of my favorite rockpiles. I had not anchored cause we were flippin live bait into nasty spots. So I am manuevering the boat to keep the fish from wrapping around the rocks and keep the boat from smacking the rocks too , there are boat wakes, wind, and 1-2 footers all around.

THEN THE CELL PHONE RINGS AGAIN.

I pick it up and look at the display,,,yup its her again. I threw the phone down and proceeded to call her every name in the book. Quite loudly too. We finally boated the fish and after a while moved off toward the dock. THE PHONE RINGS AGAIN. Its her.
She says, "when I called earlier, you left the phone on". Thats when my stomach came up into my throat. I had somehow pressed the answer button when I threw the phone down..

She said all she could hear was swearing and cussing. Something about a friggin beatch !!! YEA I said that fish had me in real trouble near the rocks and I was very upset. Thats what I was swearing about. Man that was a close one!!!!

I double check the phone is off everytime now !!!!!!!!
