mikechell 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2017 I am not sure you can call that a "fishing" story. Every once in a while, something happens that just make you realize you're getting too comfortably set in your ways. It'll be a long time before you forget that ditch is there, again !!!

cphubert 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2017 Yes sir Willie, that's one way justify a 4X4, a lot of chain and a come-a-long, or a tractor. Hope everything came out well. I respect your attitude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saltybum 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2017 Takes a big man to admit a mistake...takes an even bigger and humble one to make a video and share it. At least you didn't damage the boat. Now that would have been really bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hatchet Jack 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2017 Good story Willie, thanks for sharing. Worst thing about the stuck truck is that it cuts into a man's fishing time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saltydancindave 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2017 Tried to go fishing with gear that needed line changed out last year as way too much wind for fly rods. Had a knot in 6lb on a spinning rod that kept catching & kept cutting off yards at a time. Jumped a bass that spit the hook. Not much better with a baitcaster as cast a bullet weight 7" worm into the dock piling & a birdsnest put an end to casting to an area no wider than the ditch. Maybe next time there will be more time to catch up on fishing tactics casting coordination ! Work creates more work & worked right into a constructive area cutting into fishin' time too.....

Willie Rip 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2017 I know it, man! Thanks, fellas. Got the truck out okay, and went fishing the next day. I'm about to go out again today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flat Rock native 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2017 Thanks, guys. It ended up okay, nothing damaged. Glad to hear that you avoided damage to your truck and boat. If we start telling more truck disaster stories, I once shot my 81 Ford 4wd With a .270 round. FYI, a .270 is very loud inside the cab of a truck.... Rest of day went quite well however, once the group got two nice bull elk loaded up... Later, I "lost" my truck when we day hiked into a secret Brookie Lake on the Wind River Reservation. We had hidden it a bit too much before we went completely off-trail but found it undisturbed, once we found it, saving a 10 mile walk in the dark...

Willie Rip 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 I have a good friend who hunts with a .270. He always calls it the good rifle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicente 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 .270 is a great caliber, that must've been incredibly loud FRN. I always get a laugh grin the videos of the guys shooting their truck with a scoped rifle, webb the scope clears the truck but the line of fire doesn't.
