I was the boat ramp idiot BIG TIME once! Fished the Tarpon Rodeo, supposed worlds oldest fishing tourny, in Grand Isle LA several years ago with a couple locals from LA. Somehow, I'm given the task of getting the truck and trailer at the ramp. Needless to say, the parking lot and ramp was SLAMMED! Idiots everywhere, or so I thought. People just sitting with the rigs in everyone's way. Well, being the intelligent individual I am, decided to go around the fool in my way. So I did. It was smooth sailing to ramp at that point, so to speak. I know I passed at least 25-30 folks stuck in the mess. About the time I get ready to whip around and back down, I realize I had gone in the exit, and cut-off everybody! OOPS! I was quite embarrassed to say the least, but it got worse. Lucky for me, a freindly cajun, seeing my mistake, let me in line. So I back down the ramp and wait. And wait. And wait. Well, seems my buddy knew it would be a long while before I made it through the line, so he wasn't paying attention. Finally, my buddy realizes it is "him" holding up the ramp! He could not figure out how I made it so fast. I just told him that's how us TN boys do it! We got back to camp over an hour before our other buddies at the ramp! If I cut you off that day, I'm truly sorry! I was the BLI!
