Banana's

[MakoMike]

Funny story. One day my son and I had a newbie offshore, trolling for tuna. We went 2 hours or so after lines in without a bite. Then the guy goes into his cooler and we see bananas. So ww really start ragging on him for bringing the forbidden fruit on board. Finally he gets pissed off and throws the Bananas overboard, they didn;t get out of sight before we got coverd up by tuna. Six fish on all at once. Now I don't make fun of the old superstition.

I'm with MakoMike, I WILL NOT EVER tempt fate by bringing or allowing bananas on board or mock the old superstition. The Edge guide crew was ravaged by bad luck after a client snuck bananas onto one of the boats.

A few springs ago one of our guides had his digital camera and cell phone go overboard somehow while underway. The bananas were discovered at the end of the trip...

The banana curse was not done though, it jumped ship to me and the next morning, my brand new digital camera jumped ship as well. Same scenario, I don't even know when it happened.

$1200 worth of cameras (with great pics not yet downloaded) and a $300 cell phone gone to the bottom of Narragansett Bay in 24 hours. I was sick over that $600 camera for a week, especially since it became a $1200 camera when I bought it a 2nd time. No bananas on board for me. I'm sure it was just a coincidence, but I'm not taking the chance that it wasn't on account of that expensive stretch of bad luck.
