Boating/Fishing mishap stories
Lets hear some boat/fishing mishaps that have happened in the past.
Here's mine,
I took my brothers 89 Skeeter out for a trolling motor test in December in 32 degrees. We took off a 55lb and put a 70lb thrust on it. We tested it to check if we hooked it up right the night before. The front deck on this boat wasn't the biggest in the boat world. I stopped to fish, put the trolling motor down and I went to plug it in and didn't realized it was pointed to go left, and on hyperspeed and switched on constant on. I plugged it in and the boat quickly darted left throwing me off balance and into freezing cold water. The boat spun in circles across the bayou and into the other bank. Leaving me in neck deep water. Coldest boatride back ever.
