The "Point Young" on yet another adventure past the 50 Mile Mark |
2 hours and 20 minutes later, I arrived on scene after dodging countless Jon & Bass boats loaded with fishermen "snagging" for Paddlefish. (Paddlefish are a Pre-historic looking fish that is caught by "snagging") -
I was not quite prepared for what I saw when I arrived, I quickly recruited some near-by "snaggers" in a Jon-Boat and asked them to take towline in as close to the 21' Triton Bass boat as they could - - after dispatching them - I realized they had Paddlefish in their boat which is probably what caused the Ruckus that in-sued - - they were able to deliver the line to the strand and he quickly hooked up, wanting out of there in a hurry - -!! The "good sam's" in the Jon Boat also beat a hasty re-treat, fearing for their lives! - - - I believe the "saucers" saved us all, by scaring off the Paddlefishes cousins who would have surely made short work of us - - - - Of course this never really happened - - - or did it?
I have removed the tin foil lining from my cap - - I am no longer afraid - - I have friends up there - -

This story may be "slightly" embellished,
but the fact is, these Tournament Fishermen were grounded over 50 miles from launch, the entire evolution took over 5 hours to complete, a 120 mile round trip for the Towboat and 600 foot of towline to get hold of them - - because they were BOATUS ANGLER members the ONLY thing it cost them was a little pride - - unfortunately they didn't make "check-in" with a bass they showed me that I believe would have taken the Tournament - -
