Lessons learned
I learned several lessons today. Here we go:
- Every boat has a hole in it, its called the top. Be warned, water will enter the top of your boat, even if you think it won't.
- Fish HARD everytime out. Even if you think the fish willnot bite. (we caught A BUNCH of fish today).
- NEVER, and I repeat NEVER leave your Cooler (livewell) in the truck because you think the fish aren't going to bite.
- Fish shrink once in the boat (no more elaboration needed)
- If your boat has been running fine all day, and while moving to another spot, it won't go on plane, check the anchor (no more elaboration needed)
I learned these lessons from a friend today. Unfortunately he was in the front of my boat.
Good day

And Alway's and I do mean Alway's check to make sure you put your boat plug in. If there is any doubt at all chack it again.
Make absolutely sure your launch rope is tied off properly and in good shape also before you launch your boat into the Abyess.
I have done both these amazeing feats in my life time chances are you will to... LOL

Show your 10 year old son how to work the trolling motor BEFORE you back in and go park the truck. Dont try to explain it once he is out of reach. It doesnt work!!

Russ i hear you, seen a older man at hi way landing set his boat a sail and his rope brake about 40 foot out there in the water. It a good thing the wind and chuck was nice to let him use a boat to retrieve his boat. I did forget to place mine plug in about 4/5 mo age. it didn't take long get it out of boat in the river running up and down it.
All men are created equal, some work harder in the preseason.

Got to mention always pull your trolling motor up before cranking your big motor. Did this a while back for some dumb reason, lets just say when you hit a stump with that much force the out come is not good.
