    Default Well I did it. I fell in with the Ipilot running.


    I was pulling cranks today on Grenada and hooked into a giant Buffalo. It took a good 5-10 minutes to get him to the boat with 90 feet of line out using a 10ft Pinnacle Limit rod (I can't speak highly enough on that thing). As he got to the boat I went to net him and he had one last run in him and knocked the net out of my hand. As I went for the net I fell over the side of the boat but luckily I didn't go far and was able to grab the side of the boat before it got away from me. I don't usually wear my remote around my neck as it just gets in the way but needless to say I'll always have it on me now. And to top it all off I still landed the fish and brought home a few good crappie too!

    I don't wear my remote around my neck either. Would be too easy to lose if you fell in anyway and is uncomfortable. I have a short lanyard with a carabiner clip. I clip it to my belt so it hangs off my hip. Hot as it's been, probably felt pretty good taking a dip.

    Had not thought about it. Could be easier to lose around the neck. I have it in my hand a lot so I don't want it hanging from my waist. Going to experiment with the clip on my life chest.

    Wow! Glad you made it back in the boat! I have a belt loop lanyard that I've been considering on wearing. Good to hear you made it out safely, and caught a few fish to boot! What you gonna do with that thing? You got an acre of maters to fertilize?

    I always wear my remote on the belt clip. I also wear an inflatable belt if I'm fishing alone.

    Stopped by a church having an outdoor picnic on the way home and asked if anyone wanted a buffalo. One ole boy came running up with an ear to ear grin. I figured if that fish caused me that much trouble someone was gonna get to eat it.
