And we were just slapping ourselves on the backs for not having done anything stupid too.<br /><br />Planing out, I was slightly amused at the improved view, but it taking longer then normal. We exchange a curious glance at eachother and then are hit in the face with a spray of cold water.<br /><br />"What the heck*?" <br /><br />In unison, with big eyes, we scream, "The trolling motor!".<br /><br />I slam the throttle back, the boat slams down, and the front two mounting bolts rips up out the the top of the boat...with a loud crunching sound.<br /><br />Looking around, very quickly, to see if any one wittnessed my baffoonery, I was relieved to see not a soul in sight.<br /><br />Had to strap it back down with a short rope for the remainder of the trip.<br /><br />Except for that, and her plunging a 4/0 hook into her forearm, a trip to the local ER, we had an enjoyable, and lucky, fishing trip.<br /><br />Took 6 months but I finally joined the club, Bobberhead.<br /><br />(* Not the actual word said)
<br />and i think i feel worse about the 4/0 hook! jeez
