    Default Truman nightmare on Sat!!!!


    Was heading to Truman to fish a Anglers in Action tournament with a co-worker. We had just passed the 291 exit at Harrisonville when I see something in the side mirror coming from tires. I tell Bill I see sparks hit the shoulder. Mind you it is 4am and we are rolling at around 75mph and felt nothing or heard nothing.

    Of course we only had 1 spare tire so we put it on and limped to Truman on one tire. We were only 1.5 hrs late to take off. As we were pulling into Long Shoal I hear a noise coming from behind the truck as we turn in. We just said screw it keep going, we fly around back into the water and one of the tournamnet directors says boys you got something bad going on. Really???? Other side of the trailer both bearing are out and the axles are ruined. Needless to say we ended up 1 fish short of a limit, and there is a Gambler Intimadator sitting down there if anyone wants you can have it lol.............At least Bill qualified for the championship in the fall that is what he went for.

    Bad Deal, I've had that happen to me before, not quite as severe, but still a pain.

    PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE IS OUR FRIEND!

    Glad everyone is OK after the trip. That could have been much worse.
