Great job, that's a very successful trip for first time out and a fun read, thanks. My first one from 1971:
(1) didn't know how to choke engine to start, used trolling motor
(2) wiring caught fire while fishing, partner said from back of boat "is smoke
coming from inside the boat normal"?
(3) burned hand while trying to disconnect wires from battery
(see #2)
(4) found shorted wire, removed it and reconnected rest to battery
(5) somehow caught fish, put in livewell, turn pump on,,,smoke again? repeat
# 2 and #3 above
(6) use stringer for fish, note - water feels pretty good on a burnt hand
I could write a book on boat incidents. This is probably 1/100th of it all over the years.
