O.K. I'll admit it. I did lose half a stringer of bows on Schofield a few years ago. It had been a banner day. South side of the island fishing a worm and a bobber out of my 10' boat.The weather started kicking up, so we headed for shore. I looked behind us and saw a fish floating. I thought I must have hit it with the motor. Right about that time, I noticed the stringer still hanging over the side. Makes you feel pretty bad for the ones that were still alive before the ride. Makes you feel very stupid to boot. I only had a 6h.p. on the boat, so we weren't going very fast. But fast enough to tear the fish off of the stringer. There were still 4 fish on the stringer when retrieved. We turned around and collected everything we could. We ended up only losing 2 fish.
