Went ice fishing a couple years ago with a bunch of buddies, didn't really want anyone on my wheeler. Grabbed the keys, and after the long drive, my hands were frozen, they slipped, bloob. Down the hole

Pliers, Batteries for the radio, jigs, center bracket for the UFO light from northern (You should see how fast that sinks.) Right boot (twice withing 5 minutes once) Sure hate the 10 inch holes.

This is going to be hard to believe but the truth, myself, wife and her parents made our usual trip to long point on low's a couple maybe three years ago with another couple, the other couple had a perm and we other four rented a house. Well the father in law who was about 80 at that time drops his glasses down the hole, our friend in th other house loses his fishing pole down the hole in his perm. We come back a week later, the perm had been left in same spot.We other four rented a house again, very slow so the next day we asked to move to the house we had been in the week before which was still next to the perm. Anyway a few minutes after gettting situated i get a bite on both poles, to make this long story a little shorter i reeled up the line on one of the poles and there was a pout with my other line wrapped around it, but there was another pole with line wrapped around this pout, a set of heostats or whatever you call those things and my father in laws glasses he lost the week before, dried them off, perfect, but on top of that our friend comes over from the perm and he says your not going to believe this he says but he had snagged his pole he lost a week before and it had a fish on it, but when he found out what we did that was small in comparison, i know it is hard to believe, but is the truth

Full bottle of Dr. M. that was depressing because we had only been in the shack for about 10 minutes.....

poker chips. dice. flashlight.

Glasses, scoops, silverware, darts, dice, pliers, Pedistal leg for the table, one of those tubes you stick down the holes to get all the at once. I can't believe we have not lost a phone or camera yet.

i lost a my flag on my tip up after the line got tangled, i fliped it over and heard splash. i didnt figure out wat went down the hole until i trip to set it again. my buddy was tossing a scoop to someone and it went straight down the hole perfect swish nothing but water!

While out fishing w/ people we've lost 3 cell phones, multiple sets of glasses, and 1 digital camera. Millions of misc. items as well.

Last year up at Winnie, I was kneeling down skimming some ice off and I lost my balance.. Landed head first into the hole..Yes my two buddies were laughing beyond controll!! And I decided to have another ice fishing beverage.. Got a nice Wilbur out of that dangerous hole later that evening..

phones for me. a rod was pulled in once as well

A few year ago I dropped my lantern down the hole but managed to grab it before it exited the bottom of the hole!

My buddy borrowed me his Aqua Vu for a while last year (he had two). I used it a bunch and even used it to help retrieve a pair of sun glasses i had dropped down the hole.

A couple weeks after retrieving the sunglasses i was getting set up in my permanent. I had the camera for the Aqua vu in the water and the monitor unit sitting on the floor. Aqua Vu apparently thought it was necessary to use 5 pounds of lead on their cameras to help them sink and keep them steady.

As I am getting set up i bump the Monitor of the aqua vu with my foot and the whole works slides across the floor and down the hole...

So I look down the hole and sure enough there it is sitting on the bottom in about 20 feet of water. I manage to catch the camera cable with a rod and a Jigging rap. So i start pulling it up. I look down and the camera cable is unwinding and the monitor is tumbling across the bottom of the lake. (can you picture your several hundred dollar investment tumbling across the bottom of a lake)

The cable finally catches on the monitor and i am able to pull the whole thing up. Camera is fried. I had to get good and drunk on a fishing trip with my buddy before i could break the news to him. in the end we had a pretty good laugh about it though. Crazy stuff happens out on the ice...

One night up at pout fest after a night of "Adult" beverages we woke up and noticed a lot of our stuff was missing, after putting the aquaview down the hole we found two tackle box's, a stool, two jig rods, and a lantern, all items were successfully jigged up, after that experience we have a Sober Hole Cover'r in control when we get back to the shack after visiting the main stomping grounds out there

a rented movie

My eight year old

A fishing rod while my wife was talking on her cell phone. I hear her say she has a fish, but she never picks up the rod. She sits there talking on the phone watching the rod go down the hole. Its to late by the time I get there. Sometimes its easier to bring the kids and leave her home.

Years ago my buddy dropped his cell phone down the hole, everyone remembers the old school nokia that had snake on it. They were great phones and some how stayed lit long enough for us to hook onto the leather case and bring it back up. The next year we built a house and put a shelf right above the two main holes... bad idea. Both phones fell off the shelf, bounced on either side of the hole and both crossed in mid air and landed on the opposite sides. Its was the only time i have seen negative polarity from a hole in the lake! Many other items have found their way including full buckets of minnows, tools, and the same as everyone else, the ole ice scoop!

I dropped a mini mag lite down a hole a couple years ago and while I was trying to grab the one I dropped the other mini mag light in my jacket pocket went to So 2 mini mags in kess then 5 seconds
