Congrats Kytiteloc on a great job at the Classic !

Pappy, it popped at about 9 am Friday morning. By the time i trolled about a mile back to the marine and the tech looked at it, it was about noon. He called about 7 or 8 places. No one had the one i needed for a optimax. He even went thru his "grave yard" of boats and motors. Couple could have it by noon Sat but the was it. So i released the three blacks i had,loaded up and headed in. I will tell you this, when i backed the trailer down and hopped in the boat to load it, it did cross my mind to just pull the plug and swim back to the bank. But like a friend said to me " things happen for a reason". Texted my wife that afternoon about it. She called and ordered me one, be here Tuesday. PLUS an extra one. This will never happen again. Atleast one good thing happened, the owner of the marina took a pic of me that morning fishing out front of his water break wall and posted it on his facebook wall. My wife found it today. Where it was just getting light, the pic looks like a shadow but anyone knows me and my boat can tell.

Tim, i see why you didn't want to show Lynn them pictures at the dinner. Nice fish . But,let me guess, David the ticket and Donnie the battery problem.

See everyone next weekend at the Fall Brawl.
