Caught my share that day and the BBQ was better too which kept Josh out of my honey holes longer! Now I just wish I could open my eyes blasting down the lake at 70mph so I could find my way back to the good piles. By the time I dropped a jig I couldn't even find east at daybreak and that's just barely exaggerating- had no idea I could survive that many g's at my age! Lol!

Josh a lot of those bigger fish you are catchin we shipped down the Arkansas River via UPS from Kaw Lake last year during the flood. We shipped so many we couldn't afford Next Day Air so they are just getting there.

I've only been in one boat that required goggles. Back in 1980, when we were in McAlester, the realtor that helped us get our house, borrowed his uncle's custom boat. It was one of a batch that was designed for Cliff Waters, the Cowboy Dback. He wanted the fastest thing on the water. We put in at No. 9 landing on a perfectly calm day (I know, this sounds like a fairy tale already). When Jim turned over the motors, it brought me back to the days of my buddy's drag racing hotrod. As Jim strapped on a cap and put on his goggles, Gary and I kind of chuckled. When he told us to sit facing astern, we thought he was joking, but we did as he said. We took off to the south, and when the trim tabs leveled off, our ears were flapping against the sides of our faces. I have no idea what our speed was, but it was exhilarating, to say the least.
We fished for bass back in a cove and did no good. When we came out of the perfectly calm cove at full speed, there was a tiny ripple on the main body. We hit the ripple, and the bow lifted up as Jim killed the throttle. We nearly did the backflip. The rest rest of the day, Jim kept it at a normal speed, as we tried get our hearts to quit pounding.
