Although your outfit had my side hurting I have seen worse. Once on opening day on the first island south of the RR bridge. I saw two guys setting on lawn chairs no camo at all. They had cut down a willow branch for cover and had a labrador setting between them. They had a small spread out in the water and the funniest thing was they were nailing the geese. Goes to show you how stupid they are on opening day. Hey they were pets yesterday. Should be able to entice them with a piece of bread and snag em with my Muskie net. Just a thought save ammo, carry a bat.

I actually had two geese beat me half to death once so that might not be a good idea. I was fishing behind the marina at Clinton and two males were fighting beside my boat. One decided to take flight and the other had him by the back. With the added weight he couldn't fly and neither was watching where they were flying. They hit me solid in the chest while I was up on my pedastal seat. This knocked me off the seat and put me on floor board of boat with two geese on top of me beating me half to death. Yeah I know what you are saying how crazy is that. Well that is what the folks at the local hospital said as they had to nearly put me in traction I had so much damage with severly bruised ribs and multiple lacerations.

That isn't my best bird story though as I have several. Once in a tourney on Clinton, my partner and I was flying across the lake at near 70mph and we came up on a huge flock of Kutes. One tried to take flight as we hit it with the trolling motor and it came in the boat and was still trying to fly. I was slowing down and speeding up trying to get the bird in my hand so I could toss it out. My partner had his head between his knees and was yelling for me to get that bird out of here. Then the most funny thing happened I have ever seen. This bird got on the back of my partners neck and started biting him all the while it was still trying to fly with its wings beating him on the back. We are still running about 70mph and all I know is that I am looking at my partner bent over with a duck on his head and I am still trying to grab it. I wish I had a camera with me.

So, thats what all the gun fire was!!! Wife & I where on the so. side Lithia coves, sure did'nt sound like shotguns, more like 50 cal. Down tues. hand full of 9" 1 14" white. Hit same coves, standing timber on Wed Am took 2 11" & 5 unders. Packed up before rain @ 12:30. Noticed crappie where warm & scales coming off in your hands. Any idea what that could be? Water was still warm @ 79-80. Still was HAPPY to get new Nitro out & make some runs on it. Ever see a Red Metallic 18' out stop on by & say Hello!!
