The fuel cap was on the gunnel which was black and so was the plastic flush mount rod holder so i proceded to put fuel into the rod holder instead of fuel hole but only a little bit LOL

Bloke we took fishing with us when my dad had a 635 swordfish did this. Except he didnt put a little bit... he put 100 litres... it was gushing out the bungs and the boat stunk like fuel for months (which smelt good to me)

Kinda felt bad for how bad the guy felt though.

One particular thing that happens is that whenever I head up to the pier and ask if anyone has caught anything, at least one person says that someone caught a 1metre pinky or a gummy shark the week before... every single week...

On a windy day seen a bloke hook a fish, stand up out his chair and the chair took off over the pier and floated away.

Also hooked a little toadie as a kid, threw it back and being a high pier a bird took it mid drop to the water

I pulled a fishing rod, with a carp still attached to it out of the water. It was quite an experience.

while at the last bream comp at mallacoota , day 1 i was fishing with a chubby, on the retrieve i felt the line just go slack and wondered wtf just happened, next second behind me i hear a rattle and a splash, tailor had taken my lure.. for the next 5 mins or so the tailor kept jumping all around the boat trying to shake the lure off.
was very funny as you would just hear, rattle rattle rattle splash, rattle rattle rattle splash, rattle rattle rattle splash!!!!! we then moved onto another spot so not sure if he finally managed to shake the lure off...

You were fishing with a chubby? ok, but I don't see how that relates to the rest of the story.
