Thread: My new friend

Great job buddy, I use trot lines and have pulled a bunch out someone else has left. I have taught my boys the right way we check them every 4 hours and pull them all when we are done . We also camp where we have them set out, mark them with jugs and solar lights so everyone on the lake knows right where they are. I have buzzed down a lake before and dang near drove through one. I'd rather lose a few fish because someone checked it for me lol then to have someone run through it and get injured or worse.

you did good........

Nice move, Skeet !!

Had a similar experience back when I was in my 20's ... a friend & I ran upon a young Raccoon, stuck on a cliff ledge at a local lake. We "netted" the animal in our dipnet & transported it to a safer location. It was wet & weak when we found it, and we assumed it had fallen off the cliff and managed to climb out of the water ... only to find itself stuck on a ledge with no exit points.

Nice job Skeet, Good Karma headed your way for sure.

Nice job. I am sure that the favor will be returned soon.

You were there for a reason and I believe this happens to us many times in life. My son & I fished a couple of people out of Percy Priest one raw day in early spring. I told them, "do you know how lucky you are for us to be here, I live in KY and this is the first time I've been out on Percy Priest. All other boats had already headed back to the dock 30 minutes before.
You did a great job helping out the bird and I'm guessing how it made you feel afterwards is plenty enough of a reward. Congratulations on stepping up.
Loved the quote under your boat. "The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age,
which means never losing your enthusiasm." Very true & Great Post!

Good post!

Great story.
