took a dip to save a dollar

My brother in law and I took a day to fish with our little ones, my 3 yr old son and his 3 yr old daughter. And all was going well, we were catching some nice crappies but slowly. We pulled up to the end of my favorite tree, sunk in 15ft of water, and to get above the limbs I set up on the motor cover to my 25 HP Evan. After a few cast I snagged and lost my slip bobber. Eventually it floated back to me, so I leaned out to grab a limb and before I knew it I was neck deep in 60deg. water. I don't know how I did it but in a blink of an eye I was standing in the boat shivering. My brother was amazed by my lighting speed. It was so fast that my cigarettes didn't get wet. Lost my pole but saved the .99 cent bobber. Now everytime my son sees that tree he has to remind me of the time I went swimming. Good times!!!!!!!!!!!

So fast that my cigarettes didn't get wet. :Rofl

Great memories are born from time spent together. I have many great memories with my sons, both grown and married now. Looking forward to making memories with grandchildren one day. Until then, still making memories with my sons. LAst year I almost fell out of the boat, older Johnson, pull start, engaged in forward, max trottle to get her going. Needless to say, ripped the cord, the engine screamed to life and launched the boat, I almost went out the back end. My oldest, 29 now, still laughs when he tells teh family the story.

been there done that

Hehe.

I was waking toward a bulkhead that was underwater to find the edge. I reached the edge before I thought I should and promply fell in. (As the gentleman said he was out of the water before his gigs got wet) I was out of the water before the stuff in my wallet got wet.
