Jason lives to fish another day!

I am here by only the grace of God folks!
I was scheduled back in Tulsa OK on Monday from Philadelphia... did that happen... NO.
Our first flight actualy was hauling down the run way only to find out we had break failure on the plane! We managed to stop somehow and we were returned to the jetway only to find out we had to stay the night in Philly because there were no more flights! The next morning we boarded a flight and made it to the runway again, this time we had the left engine shut down due to a "major oil leak". The pilot said it was by the grace of God that happened on the ground! So we returned to the jetway again still in Philly. This time we found a flight that day to Tulsa on another airline and made it home late last night only to find no luggage! Oh well we made it home!
Fishing was O.K. today. We caught a limit fishing around docks and bluffs down 15' with a YUM curl tail grub.

Jason, sounds like a scary trip back home, glad everything worked out alright. Sounds like you still have your luck at fishing though.

Glad you made it home safe. You know those birds are getting old and with the work ethic of today's employee it just might be safer to stay home and fish. Come and see me when you can and we'll go snatch some up.

Sounds like a pretty stressful trip. Glad you are home and back on the water.

Things like that make me not ever want to get on a plane. I have never been on one and if it stays like that I will not have a problem with it. If I caint drive to it then I don't need to go. Good to hear that you had a safe trip home.

Man I would have bailed after the brake failure. I have to call my doctor and get some head dope before I get on a plane. The things scare me to death taking off and landing.

Glad you made it home ok.

Thank's guys!
I will fly again, just not on American Airlines!
The good Lord was watching out for me!
Jersey was O.K., I got to see a friend I hadn't seen in 15 years!
We went out and caught some small northern and some huge corn fed bluegill!
I did not get to surf fish though, I'll save that for my FL trip!
The beaches were great, all the kids were still in school and I did not see one hypodermic needle or a dead whale!

I had a similar experience out of Mobile a few years ago. Now I don't like to go anywhere unless I am at the controls. It has been about three years ago since I last flew. I used to live out my suitcase though. And flew at least 2 to 3 times a week.
