Lots of good stories here. I'll add another that ended more positively. We were ice fishing walleye spoons on Lake Erie in 30 fow. I had a fish on and yelled to my Dad to come over and help me gaff the fish.(30" of ice in 2014!) When he bent down to the hole his eyeglasses came off and went right down the hole. We landed the fish, chalked is up as a loss and continued on. My Dad walked back to his shanty about 20 feet away and started jigging. He noticed on his flasher that he had a mark down by his lure. He felt something on the line and reeled in his glasses! Either the glasses descended at an angle or the slight current pulled them into the line and they slid down to the lure. Either way, pretty lucky!
