Yeah…that’s cool. Years ago I took a security guard from the parking lot at work. We struggled all day, finally caught a nice 4lbr and he shook his head in disbelief when I released it, gave me all kinds of hell about wanting to take it home for the grease.:laugh:

Before I could answer he realized he was in the wrong boat...:laugh:....his buddy in the right boat was dying laughing at him. I untold him he was more than welcome to fish with me. We all had a good laugh.

I drew an ol boy with an oxygen tank back in the day (BFL) running my Bullet 21XDC/250XB rig. I told him he better shove that cannula up his nose pretty good. :laugh:Quote:

Fishing a club tournament on Clark's hill and everyone putting boats on trailers. Happen to be another club at same ramp so loading time was hectic to say the least. One older guy in our club loaded his boat on somebody else's trailer in the other club. He thought it was his fishing buddy in the truck. The guy told him he had the wrong truck but the old fart kept yelling to pull the boat up with many explicitives I can't say in public. Guess he thought his buddy was messing with him. Finally someone in our club told him

He just looks at me and doesn't say a word. Took him a while to start fishing. We get home and he tells the better half and she looks at me and says "REALLY!?!?!?!" And she and I start laughing. He grabs a beer. LOL

Made that his day! :thumb up2:
Very nice.
Buddy and I fished a local week night tourney series and he would always jump out to get the truck and I would load the boat. I see a black truck and a Skeeter trailer (very distinctive especially ant night) backing down so when it hit the water I loaded, hit the front roller on a very shallow ramp and said hit it. I kept yelling hit it, go but someone was yelling back not your trailer! The other correct Skeeter then got right behind me and said the same thing. Well at least it was the correct fit! :roll:Quote:

That is what it is about!

I was in a state Federation tournament and blastoff was at the old Decatur Harbor on Wheeler . About the time my partner backed me in I realized that I had left the plug out of my boat. It was in February the water was cold and boats were lined up across the bridge to launch. There was no good place to beach the boat so I waited until someone launched their boat and immediately drove my boat on their trailer. The guy in the boat was yelling at me and the guy in the truck was just dazed and confused. I explained the situation and he pulled me out far enough to drain the boat and put the plug back in. My partner whom I had just met said well that’s a good start to the day!Quote:

One of my favorite quotes is from John Wooden...
"You can't live a perfect day until you do something for someone who will never be able to repay you."
Not sure it would apply in this case, though, as that guy's laughter and his words were plenty repayment enough.
Not only did it make his day....it made my day as well!
Love it! Good to see people helping one another
Simply awesome!! :smile: Thanks for sharing that, Mark!! :thumb up2:Quote:
