Little spendy fish today

Headed to Bolivar to meet Jim by 630am. The whitetail automotive refit squad attacked my truck a few miles from Bolivar. One would think that 2 of them attacking the grill would be enough but no one had to slam into my drivers door. Did you all know when the side airbags go off one in the seat blows also? After a quick visit with the Mo. HPD was able to drive truck to Jims. A little late but lets go fishing. Jim was ready with truck and boat got to launch uh oh no juice in starter battery. Put boat back on trailer go to Tightwad buy battery back to launch all good away we go finally fishing about 10am. Picked up 10 pretty quickly in a little cove Jim knew about then nothing. Went a little farther to recommended site boats all over not catching they had quit there also picked up one more. Told Jim better head out want to get truck home before dark. A few bad parts but a great day to be out and great company too. Good luck all Truman is gonna be really good shortly.Attachment 194514Attachment 194515Attachment 194516Attachment 194517

X2! Good on you keeping a great attitude!

Wow Richard, what a trip. Congrats on getting to go fishing but sorry about the truck.

What a day.

Last pick is the best. Dang Deer.

at least you got a few after a rough morning.

Congrats, looks like you need to stop by Washington and hook up with South Point to get the truck fixed.

Where's Scotty and that darn force field when you need them!

Savor those good lookin' fish.

Double Ouch... glad you are OK. Conrats on catching some after all the distractions.

Richard, that ain't the way to get your venison! glad you're ok and that you guys caught a few for your efforts. I'm guessing 7800$ repair bill...

Dang man that's a tough day. Bet ya jumped alittle when that side bag went off.:biggrin

Man what a really rough start to a day but you didn't give up until got some fish congrats on that part.

wow what a ride, glad your ok,,,,

Wow!!! Glad you weren't hurt. Nice fish!!

Nothing better than deer meat AND crappie. Southern style Surf n Turf!!! [emoji12]

Wow! You said to take a look. And I know you see them things out there better than I do. You must of got one of their brothers during the season, and they seen you coming. Remember it's just a truck (insured) and as long as your ok that's what counts. Looks like you did get some fish....

To make things worst that darn lid that blew up on the boat broke one of my fishing reels. I guess I better fix it before it causes anymore trouble. I still had fun and can't wait to go again.

Thanks all had a great day. Greg you are right in the ballpark why you the big dog now. What amazed me was before I came to a stop onstar was asking me if I needed an ambulance! I had told the Mrs. no need for that stuff of course she won I always end up in no bar no signal zones she said keep it. Did not need to make any calls they took care of everthing quess I will keep on keeping it. Body shop said about 10 days and I can get the boat back out. Good luck to all and the fish are biting lets get more pics. :cheers2

Sorry about your truck, but what an awesome attitude. I blew a bearing and put a trailer on the pavement once. Tore up the axle. As luck would have it only 2 miles from a boat dealer. Wreckered it over and convinced the guy I was not leaving without my boat, unless he did not want the job. He hung it and put a kid on it. At 11:30 and $500 later it was ready. My 2 buddies said why are you heading south. I said we closer to the landing than the house. Launched at 1:15. Limit of speckled trout by 4:30. Home by 8:00. Can't let little things distract you from a good fishing trip!!

my kind of people, here! we're GOING fishing come he!!, high water or a even a herd of deer! :cheers2

Greg we really need to fish again even if it is the non targetted species. Will be great to see you again take care and good luck.

Catman and I had a day like that last year. Sometimes you have to get them bad out of their way

Same to you Richard and I'll give you a call in a week or so. I'm sure we can work something out!

I had a day like that 2 years ago. Just bought a new truck, headed to Dalton Bottoms to do some night time catfishing. On the way there a guy pulling a excavator in on coming traffic threw a huge rock through my windshield. On the way home creamed a deer with the front end with the truck. Funny how things like that happen. Feeling your pain.:banghead

A story for years to come. Sorry bout the truck but glad no one was hurt.
