That is what I was hearing to.

Man I'm glad they had somebody close to call for help!! Glad you and your partner won big fish!!Hands Clapping

Justin, congrats to your cousin!!!

A nitro??? I wonder what happened. I would think that would be hard to sink.

I did not understand that part either. I did not think it would completely sink.

yeah i'm with ya'll, I think it would also be near impossible to flip, just the story I heard, may not be true, I'll ask some more people though.
