    Just wanted everyone to know that the Red Ranger man put helping another boater ahead of running to his fishing spot. Fishing is done in more that one way.

    I've never seen any of todays young fishermen slow down enough to lend a helping hand, 'course it's been AWHILE since I've seen anyone broke down too. Back in the day when fishermen was more curtious anyone would stop to help. Well, atleast I want to think that's the case.

    Navigator, that was my boat in front of you. Me and Slim was behind Earl Kitchens in line. I just had put my boat in when Earl said he was going to pull those guys in.

    Glad you got it to limp back to dock, I had a cracked fuel line last week between pump and filter but made a quick fix and went to next fishing spot, life is good.

    I spun a prop on my saltwater boat a couple years ago off the Georgia coast about 14 miles from the ramp. We used the trolling motor against the current till the batteries gave out and just when I thought we were going to drift off into the Atlantic ocean, a guide that we had seen earlier came by and towed us halfway in until the Sheriff's department could tow us the rest of the way. The guide said he had been towed in twice already that year and he was paying it forward. He did ask if I had a cold beer in the boat, but unfortunately I didn't. I can say I was never so glad for a tow as I was that evening. Now I keep a new hub bushing and the tools to change it in my boat along with a cold beer just in case.
