Nuff said.
Oh yea, I know I can't keep Steve quite so I'll admit my JADA moment. Lol I fished Sunday so my trailer bunks were a little wet. It was 29 degrees when I launched my boat today and I have the bad habit of unhooking my wench strap before I back my boat in. Apparently a layer of ice was between the trailer bunks and the boat. It wasn't as bad as ES's JADA moment but when I got the boat in the water and hit the brakes, it took off. Luckily, I called a fishing buddy and he came out with his boat and carried me to mine. I learned a lesson with no harm done. A good day in my book. Lol

man, i b lovin those whole small critters. tails like tater chips. assume....

I can't let that youngster out of my sight without him getting into trouble!

Kids now days:D

Glad no real damage was done. The fish look very good.

I think Rees is gonna show up and help cook. SteveJ should be camping with me and helping with the mustard and Southern Star Fish Fry meal for the fish. We'll all sleep good that night. Lol

Been running a boat since I was ten. Last year after a rainny night, I launched the next morning without putting the drain plug back in. Didn't know it until I tried to take off. Had about thirty gallons of water under the floor.

My favorite way!!!!!

U may not believe me but u were actually lucky that's all that happened. I promise u it can get ALOT worse. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the ramp is not really steep... Lots of boats wound up on concrete because of this. That thing will shoot off of there like a rocket! Ha.

I realize I was very lucky. Normally even after I get the trailer in the water I have to "gun" the motor in reverse to get the boat off of the trailer. But this time I had ice between the carpeted bunks and the boat. It would have been a sad day if I had gotten crooked on the ramp and had to hit the brakes. I won't unhook my strap anymore until its in the water. Lesson learned. Lol

Yep, glad you learned it the easy way. I've seen a couple come off the trailer halfway down the ramp. Good looking fish fry also. Can't wait to try some.

The yellow mustard and Southern Star make a good crunchy crust.

Them fish look good, glad you didn't damage the boat
