Hey fatboy,
being the proud owner of the beast it sounds like to me you are well on your way to becoming the owner of another beastly fishing machine. I found a mummified catfish under my life jackets in the front storage just yesterday. it had cured out and wasnt smelling anymore. Must have been stashed there when i wasnt looking by a crew member who was disgruntled i had set em up over some catfish instead of crappie. with that motley crew i hang out with, theres no telling what youll find after a night out. I give em credit tho,, after a night of lifting lifters, they fairly well clean the beast up, gettin it ready for the next trip.
listen with your eyes---its the only way to beleive what you hear...
