I fell out of the boat today and .........

[keith29]

This morning after i was through fishing i was heading back to the ramp and I am glad I took my little buddy with me. She saved my life. We were driving across the lake and ran on top of a stump. I tried for 45 minutes to get off. I finally put it in neutral and started rocking the crap out of it while i was tring it with the trolly motor on. still nothing. Then I tried driving it off with the outboard, finally it took off. I looked up and saw i left the trolling motor in the water. I left the motor in gear and walked up on the deck to pull it up. As soon as i bent down to pull the rope up, i hit a stump and went in head first.(brrrrrrrrrr) It was a cold _______. I could not get to the boat. It was moving away faster than i could swim. I was wondering what in the world i was going to do. I was watching the boat and it was probley 60-70 Yards away. I noticed it stop moving and did not sound like it was running. I could see my dog looking at me from the back deck and barking. I started swimming to the boat. well i finally got there and got in. My dog pulled the saftey kill switch cord out and killed the motor. How this happend is amazing. From know on shes eating stakes and mashed tatters every night. Thank the lord for taking her with me. That is probley the 5 or so time shes went.

You are lucky to be alive. This is the worst time of year for that to happen. You better never leave home without that lucky dog. Take him to the store and play the lottery :-)
