beats a good day at work, they say. My worst was one night when I was going to a place where fishing had been good.

I get a flat tire on the way there, no problem. I change the flat. 15 minutes later, when I was about 5 miles from the place, I got pulled over for a defective taillight bulb. As I'm trying to get the cop to let me slide for that, we realize I don't have the current registration in the car. He told me he could have had the car towed right then and there, I had the insurance card, so he let me slide without the ticket. However, I told him I was going fishing, and he said I better not be in that area unless I went home and had my registration card with me.

By the time I get home and get the card to go back, it was too late. I felt one frustration after another that night. I feel he could have let me go, and let me go fishing. His position was that he was giving me a break by not towing the car.

What was your worst day fishing, in terms of mishaps or frustration?
