Recurve I'm gonna tell you one that happened to me in the middle '80's. Went to the river after stripers by myself as usual. A friend had told me of a little trail that went right down to the water and I decided to try it. Picked the wrong one, figured it out quick but there was no place to turn around and it was slick enough that I was afraid to stop. Came to a mud puddle with standing water and just gunned it to get across.

When I could see again the water was 4 inches below my truck window. I had fell in a hole so hard it cracked my windshield. Bad thing was, I was a half mile from people. Started walking up river and came to the fence around the electrical facility that uses the river. Must have been shift change cause cars were leaving and I hustled up to the road. This nice young feller paused to look and I immediately asked for a ride to the main road. He looked at me funny and that's when I realized I was covered in red mud. A guy in a truck finally let me ride on his tailgate. Got off at the dam thinking to go on up to a redneck beer joint about a mile up the road cause a drunk redneck with a 4-wheel drive was just what I needed.

There was a jeep parked on the side of the road at the dam entrance and a couple of teenagers were searching for something on the side of the road.Turned out to be an over-sized high school ring that had fell off when the kid threw out a beer can. Ok, I turned to walk away and ten feet down the road I find this kid's ring. He was over-joyed cause he had been sure his dad was gonna kill him. They demanded to help me so off we went back to my truck.
I had a chain and the ring kid insisted on getting in the water to hook it up. We hooked back to back and when I was out they pulled me all the way to the paved road.

I tried to pay them but the guy held up his muddy hand and said finding his ring was payment enough. That's when we all saw  the ring was gone again most likely in a giant mudhole.

Never did get to fish.
