Earlier this year in a Tournament while in spot lock trying to get a swim bait un hung in the back of the boat my rod came out of my hand. Next thing I know while leaning over I was swimming now it was cool that morning and I easily got back in the boat but I was wearing thin shorts and jersey. My co angler was pretty upset and worried about me and if it was early or late in the year could have been a more difficult situation. Fast forward a month or so while out on the lake with the wife on vacation she decided to take a swim when it came time to get in she realized I did not have the nice ladder that my Triton had she got in but it was not easy as it is for us guys. I asked her if she would like a ladder and that I had been thinking of it since my accidental swim. Got it installed tonight was around 270 with the bracket for the power pole. We may try it out this weekend but I thought I would share.
