Beautiful Lake Wylie fishing with Uncle Remus

This man is on top of the game. We fished from 07:45 until around 3:30. He fished, and I followed orders on where to put the pontoon and keep it into the wind. We had 39 on the clicker and 30 crappies in the cooler with 1 perch. Others were released to swim another day. Now the good. Bad and ugly! The bad first. The cranking battery died. It is 5 years old and has been a good one. The good we managed to use trolling motor to get in the the ramp area. Very long haul. The ugly was getting centered on the trailer and hooking up to bring her home. I tried to step down to the trailer to guide the toons farther onto the trailer. I fell into the Beautiful Lake Wylie , cut my little finger, and almost took the pad off the end of the finger. Managed to fall twice, trying to get up in the water. I finally got the pontoon hooked up and cranked that long azz strap back in. Man, that crap will wear you out. Got the boat loaded and then unloaded Uncle. Remuses, gear, and the cooler. Into his truck. I changed my clothes and wore my bibs and a flannel shirt home. I changed again so I could go to the medical center to see what they could do for the finger
So heres the fish and Uncle Remus showing off and of course me.
I got nine stitches to tack the skin back down. Ya'll be careful. Thanks, Uncle Remus, for a great day fishing except for my boo boo!Attachment 448937Attachment 448938Attachment 448939Attachment 448940Attachment 448941Attachment 448942

Sounds like a good trip… except the bad and ugly part. Hate you sliced your finger. That’s gonna be sore there for probably a good while. Hopefully I'm wrong and you heal fast. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy time on the water together guys. Good job.

Nice catches. Hope that finger heals up fast

Ouch! Thanks for taking us along.

Nice catch and post, enjoy your new battery, crappie meals, and a finger that’s healed.

Nice catch fellas. Sorry for the bad things that happened. Dawg hope you heal fast.

Dawg...you gotta start being more careful. You aint getting any younger ya know! That finger looks like it coulda hurt.

Now...falling in the water and not once but TWICE!!! Remus has GOT to get a little quicker with that camera.:)LOL Glad you had some dry gear with ya and hope that hand heals soon.:)

Nice catch on those crappies. Looks like some good eats for ALOT of folks. Thanks for sharing the pictures.:)

Nice catch and report but I’m thinking like Butch. Remus has got to step up his camera game. Don’t know if you have trailer steps or not, but I bought some thinking they are way cheaper than an Emergency Room Visit.

In further examination of the finger it just needed a couple wraps of electrical tape. [emoji848]

Trying to visualize the event at the ramp of B. Dawg trying to winch the Toon up on the trailer and slipping and falling into the water. I think I know why Uncle Remus didn’t get photos or Videos!!! He still had 8 Minner Rods out the back!! Nothing can distract him!! Dawg is blessed to have such a partner. ??

Great report till the bad and ugly part. My question is why didn't you hook the troller battery to the crank battery. Putting a tool on the trailer with a troller is a pain.
Hope your finger heals up quick.
5 years on a battery is pretty long

Great job putting uncle Remus on some fish. Sorry to hear about you going swimming. I'm glad that it was only your pinky finger that you hurt. From what I heard it could of been a whole bunch worse.
The word at Ebinezier landing was that you smelled like a old wet dog and that you went streaking across the parking lot??? [emoji15]

Maybe it was best that Remus didnt add those pictures!!:yikes:yikes:yikes

Glad you caught fish, sorry about your finger. Hope you get well soon!

Couple of things said that are not quite the way it happened. I was on the ponton and about 6 feet from being on the trailer with the pontoon. I stepped down from the front of the toon to the A frame part of the trailer. When my weight shifted to the outward side of the frame that's when I fell. The toon moved because of the weight being off of it lifting up and caused me to fall. As for the cut I don't remember exactly where it came from. The second fall was when I tried to get up, I was being pulled down by my shoes holding the water as if I had diving flippers on. Just glad it was only 2 to 3 of foot of water. The slope of the ramp didn't help either. We had a plan, but Legs aren't long enough and I ain't limber anymore! Yes, TB I do have a ladder on the trailer, but it was 6 feet away! :Rofl

Just glad you came out as unscathed as you did!:)

As the sweet ladies at church would say
“We’ll bless your heart “
You’ll remember that trip far longer than an uneventful one. Glad you’re not hurt worse. Prayers for speedy finger healing.

For some reason the whole thing brings a smile to my face. A much needed smile.
Thanks Big zDawgg.
You will always be my fall guy

You know me I like to make things worse. I have experience. :Rofl

this is one them times that sign that says THIS THREAD IS USLESS WITHOUT PICTURES would be the understatement of the month.
if I had my camera in my hand and finger on the button I would never thought to take the picture that scared the heck out of me.
the real picture would have been the parking lot pose = nuff said about that one = just glad it was no worse than it was.
