The TN River is flooding like crazy as about everybody on the planet knows. My lake house is not in danger but the water is at summer pool level so it is up about 5.5'. Further upstream towards Guntersville Dam the water is actually over the wall that separates the lock from the spill ways. Never have I seen that before. Anway, yesterday I put my boat in at the cabin to fish around the area surrounding my place. I was bored and had to get out. No worries in my Bassport since I was never going to run it above a good on plane pace. Trees the size of houses were floating down river, river marking buoys were loose floating down river, and everything imaginable in between. I was sitting there casting and heard something that sound like a bassboat going full throttle. I turned and looked up river and this stupid fool WAS wide open as wide open can be coming down river. There is tens of millions of pieces of trash in the river and this idiot was throwing a rooster tail 30' high. I hope he made it back safely. God indeed must take care of babies and idiots or else we would be seeing the rescue squad looking for him and his passenger.
