Sorry I haven't been on in a while folks, I had a bad 4wheeler accident, looks like I am going to be out of commission for a while! I shattered my left hip, have an appointment with surgeon on the 14th to find out if surgery is going to be a MUST or not....wish me luck, I'll be out of work for 3-8 weeks as it stands right now. OUCH! really bummed drop me a line with some holiday cheer if you feel like it, I won't mind. Thanks all!
Sorry to hear that Minnowman, Hope everything goes good and you have a full and speedy recovery.
WOW! Sorry to here that...Was wondering where you had been... Hope for a speedy recovery! Have a Great Christmas! "Well as good as you can!":D
Sorry to hear bout that. Them Doc's can do great things now days.
Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year. And the fish will waitin when you get back on the water.
Hope everything goes okay. Merry Christmas.
Minnowman, man that is some bad news. Those 4 wheelers can be dangerous, my wife's uncle almost died on one about a year or two back.
Hope you can have a Merry Christmas anyway.
Man thats one horrible injury. Sure hope you heal fast and get this behind you. How in the world did you do this? Just want to know as it may prevent me from filling your shoes some day.
Take care and get well soon

Get well soon, minnowman! I rolled mine once and got lucky...scrapes and bruises.
Get well soon Minnowman. Tough break for ya. Get yourself a lazyboy mounted in your boat and I bet someone will help you get in and launch it for ya!
Hey MM, sorry to hear about your accident. Hope everything works out for you a speedy recovery. Take care.
Sorry to hear about your mishap. I had one about 5 years ago and thought I was dying for real. Had to sleep in a lift chair for 6 weeks still have problems.It can happen before you know it. Hope you get well soon. I thought crappie fishing was safer till the other day a real nut threaten my life out on the lake the other day over nothing.
Ouch, sorry to hear about your crash. Hope you still have a great holiday season!

Wow, now that is a bummer. So sorry to hear you got messed up. I hope you heal fast and good so you can get back to doing some fishin!
I have never been anywhere on the internet, not even at work and got so many sincere messages...I would personally write you all back but in just a few hours there were almost 15 messages, wow....I was really bummed out and just read all your heartfelt messages, appreciate the concerns and thanks for taking some time to brighten my day a little. I bet I get out there and do a little fishin' while I am down, whomever wrote about the recliner that's a brilliant idea....and someone else asked how it happened. Well, to be honest I tipped the bottle back a little bit to warm me up (it was -2 degree wind chill, and my buddy was driving I was on back we were going about 50 mph or so and he had to swerve to miss a truck flipped over in the road, yes, we were on pavement, when he swerved it flipped throwing us both off on the left side, I stood up (whole body numb) and said McGoo my hips broken I think, then I went home in a TON of pain and finally the next day decided to go to ER, walked in and they were shocked I was walking....ouch!!!!
Feel free to keep me busy with messages and stuff folks, I am going to be a computer nerd for the next few weeks at least, got a good little southern belle to take care of me, that's the ONLY good thing about what's happened, maybe I can talk JT into bringing me a plate of crappie soon, haha, I ran out already....!!!!! Merry Christmas to all of you too, how's the fishing been the last week or so everywhere?

Maybe these will keep you occupied for a little while at least...Take care.
I guess fishing with you anytime soon is out of the picture! You will be ready to go by the spring spawn! I was hoping to use your brawn to help me with brush piles this winter, so you must get well soon!
Let me know if I can help you any. Crappie is hard to come by as of late, but I will see what I can do! I may come by and visit if your going to be laid up for a while. I'd hate for you to lose your mind and start staring at the lights!
Minnowman,
Coming to you from below I-10 along the Gulf Coast (Or what is left of it)
I was searching the Arkansas site and came across your post about the accident. Man I am sorry to hear that!
I pray you have a successful outcome to this. Keep the faith man!
Sorry to here about your accident. you take care of yourself and dont over do it. Wish you a speedy recovery.
Hey Minnowman:
Sorry to hear about your accident. I know it doesn't ease the pain any right now but it sounds like it could have been a LOT worse! Make sure those doctors know you need to get put back together as quickly as possible because the crappie are biting now and the spawn is just around the corner.
There's been quite a bit of activity in the Chat Room from about 8:00 to 10:00 in the evenings so I hope you can spend some time there. I have a wonderful Christmas Band Concert to attend this evening so I won't be in chat but I bet several other folks will be.
Hang in there Minnowman and get yourself well and healed up.
I hope you have a speedy recovery and catch up on some good reading.
Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Those ATV's are bad news when they go outa control. Hope you recover quickly and out chasing slabs this spring.
Caleb, is everything O.K.
I haven't seen any posts lately.
I figured you'll have a lot of time to spend on the board!
