Learned my lesson took two fall ins and one almost!!! now my buddie fishfinder8 wont let me on my own toon without one of my 2 pfd on lol. fell in first time at 26* 2nd time in cedar creek with water running really fast and cold ~~ long story short i was within a couple seconds of drowning when i caught the ladder on my toon 3rd time the high sides on the toon kept me inside after tripping over my tackle box. wore a great big shiner for a while after that. my buddie bigdawgg put my glasses back together so i could see how to get home thanks bigdawgg. said all that to say this if you have a pfd wear it if you don't get one and wear it you wont even think about having it on after a couple times wearing it. good luck fishin to you all
