other than getting my boat hit at the ramp, was a fair day . dude said his throttle stuck ! think it was his first trip (ever ) demolished a rod holder that war eagle made . just a small ding on the rail but I was not happy . started off catching good fish , but soon after the small versions arrived . kept 9 crappie and a 16.73 catfish ( my father-in-law loves them )Attachment 120945Attachment 120946
I bet the cat was a job if you caught it on jig or trolling rod. Sorry to hear about your incident. There is always that one jack wagon.
caught on 14 ft pst .
Now you have a good reason to get Scot Echols to build you a set of HiTeks for your War Eagle
Nice catch.
Great job there, sorry about the boat, those rod holders aren't cheap besides the ding in the boat.
Wish I would have known you were going I would have tagged along
Hate you had the ramp problem but glad you got a mess of fish.
Do you have boat insurance? Did he offer to pay for the damage? Did he have boat insrance? ...if so his should pay since it was his fault.
Nice catch
the rod holder was a single post drift master that war eagle made a few for me at the request of Ms. marine . the guy came out of launch ramp with the bow sticking way high . you could not see him . he swerved to avoid a head on collision with another boat(guess where I was ). had he been on the correct side of the channel it would not have happened . took a pipe wrench and straighten the bent rail . the main damage was the holder . sanded it down this morning and painted it back war eagle brown .Attachment 120964Attachment 120964

Sorry for the boat wreck! nice looking catch!
Tough day, Eagle. Glad you got a few fish to make event a little more bearable. Them little crappie from the lower lake eat real good!
This is a tough time of the year....lots of folks on lake who don't fish much but come out when the crappie get ready to spawn. Had a guy bump me the other day having trouble controlling his boat. Just got to grin and bear it, I guess. Spawn will be over soon and lakes should clear out.
Nice catch. Has it still been crowded on the lower lake?
One more reason I don't fish COE Lakes anymore. Without Lakeview the idiots have no where else to congregate.
Not many boats on lower lake anymore. Big crowd on the upper now.Quote:
