Be careful no fish is worth you life.
Apparently this was the second time this gentleman was stranded on the lake this week. Jeff Faulkenberry pulled him off a sandbar earlier in the week. Be careful out there especially this time of year. Let people know where your going to be and take some basic safety items with you in case you find yourself stranded! It may just save your life. Also be mindful of other boaters. Jeff stated in a Facebook post that others had just left him sitting there while he was blowing on a whistle trying to get help.

Be careful no fish is worth you life.
It can happen so fast! Two guys in a bass boat were stuck on a sand bar in Wappapello a few years ago. They were pushing and pulling on the boat. I just happened by and threw them my 50 foot rope. They tied it to their rope and I was able to pull them to deeper water. They said they had been stuck there six hours. It was winter time after duck season so not much traffic on the lake and the water was pulled down to winter pool
