Gladly was in my tracker instead of my war eagleand had a workn bilge pump. I've driven a boat since I was 9 and never seen quite as stupid of a move. Stayed calm and just stopped right there. Started wackn em right where we stopped and had 3 different boats stop within the next 20 minutes and literally started dropping jigs into the same 10' x 10' spot we were catchn em. I can deal with the fishn on top of me okay, but the dumb boat driving I can't. I won't bore u with the other stories. Trust me, not being a crybaby, I just have chosen not to make that drive to deal w that kinda stuff. There's plenty other fish to catch without that crap. Had an awesome run there for a few years and learned a ton!
