Glad I went fishing today

[Mac]

I left for fishing today at 1400hrs. Sarah left for work at 1530hrs. I fished for a while and met up with Russ at 1600hrs. We were fishing some weeds and I was tossing a frog. Big surprise I know. My phone rings and it's Sarah. She never calls me while I'm wetting a line so I answered. She starts telling me that a neighbor contacted her about firetrucks and police in front of our house. Wham... A BASS SLAMS MY LURE!!! I say hold on as I set the hook and put the phone down. Reel in a little and hand the rod over to Russ. He reels in my (our), (his) 3lber.
She has no more info than that so I head home. I get home and there is a tree down on my neighbors house and in my driveway. I've got cones, crime scene tape and horses around my drive. Right where I would have had my boat and truck parked. My truck would have caved in for certain. The top cap on the Gambler most likely would have been damaged. Real happy to be fishing today
It looks like the tree is just too old and collapsed under it's own weight.

Lucky "break" for sure but on a side note, frogs this early? Never tried that.

Glad you dodged that one.

I used to have a portable garage for my old boat and where it used to be I had a couple of big limbs come off the old oak that stands back there. If the boat was there under the cover there definitely would have been damage. Glad to know your vehicle and boat are safe! You should have the phone ring more often if it calls the 3lb'ers up!

I second that. While you're at it, can you buy me one? I'm the unluckiest SOB that I know. If that were my house, not only would my truck and boat be parked there when the tree fell, but I bet that for some reason I would have had my dirtbike out there too, and my BMX bike would have probably been in the back seat. That's the kind of luck that I have.

But I'm glad that nothing happened.
