Little story about my weekend....first off I understand that alcohol and boating are not a good mix....SO I knew better.
I went to my bosses farm for the weekend, and we enjoyed the weather, good food, fellowship, and Tito`s. He has a little 10 acre lake that is loaded wit fish. The wife and I piled into a narrow johnboat (I`m just a tiny fella) about 2 hours before dark to try to get her a big one. We were both catching fish, and having a blast....until I got a real good bite and rared back on a good one. I felt the seat pop...the boat rocked...I grabbed the side...and in we both went. I saved the boat, and the booby-trapped seat, but lost 5 rods and my tackle box to the bottom of the lake. A short swim followed by being towed by his larger vessel followed. Lessons learned. Safety first...you can have a good time without drugs and alcohol
