We'd spend all day in that boat and catch 2 or 3 fish and just couldn't wait to get back out. I know we looked like a cartoon. I loved every miserable minute of it.Quote:

I've caught more big fish, and i mean all species, in a 12' jon boat than i ever have in any bass boat...
but yeah, you do look kinda funny doing it. Best time was the night i took my I-pod out froggin, and came up on some guys catfishing. I had the speakers blaring bluegrass, and me in ratty overalls, no shirt and a cowboy hat and a 12' frog gig...
the fellers hauled out like they seen a ghost, or that movie with Burt Reynolds and Ned Beatty...
must have been playing dueling banjos from deliverance piggie!!piggie!!!
actually it was a track from Lonesome River band, (harvest time), but yeah, the way they reacted, i might as well have said they had a purty mouth...
Max.....whats even funnier is seeing a tall midget like myself using a16 ft rod lol.......i mid that jon boat at times believe it or not.....hilbilly you remind me of indiana version of larry the cable guy lol
I believe it, ive run a 100 miles in mine, still aint went more than 12' at once.(well there was that time i went 13', didnt work out well)Quote:
