I woke up at 4:00 this morning to find this :

    The back of the boat is completely under water. I think the foot of the motor is hitting bottom and keeping it stable for now.

    Needless to say, I have been on the phone with my insurance company and SeaTow should be here by 9:00 this morning and recover it for me. I'll get some better pics when it gets daylight.

    Man, Tim those first few pics were horrible, glad you got it out & in recovery. This is my first year missin the crappieusa at Crescent but after seein this & the way the weather was,

    I have to say this was the year to miss it.
    The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"

    Man when you called me at 530 and told what happened I couldn't believe it. Glad it's going better than you expected so far and that your insurance company is helped you quickly. Was good to see and talk with you again even though in less than desirable circumstances. Really glad it wasn't while you were in the boat away from shore.

    You had too much water in that whiskey drink
