Was delivering a 110' boat to Fla., running down the ditch..... was an open
stretch, nothing in sight ahead, just the occasional side channel, doin
about 10K.
All of a sudden, looked up one of those side channels and noticed a
fisherman in a small flat bottom boat.... Oh Sh&t!!.....pulled em back but
knew it was too late!
As we went by, we could see that we'd sucked every last drop of water out
of that side channel and this "Goodoleboy" was high and dry in the mud with
his lower jaw hangin about down to his kneecaps.
Bout this time the water rushed back in to fill the void and all we saw was
assholes, elbows, and fishing poles flying in all kinds of directions......
Few minutes later we were overtaken by this "gentleman" from the South who
had many choice words to say about our "Yankee" heritage.....worst part was
that his anger became all the more incensed by the fact that we were all
ready in a total fit of laughter and the more he yelled the worse our fit
became!!!
To this day, I'm not sure how we kept that boat in the channel till he
finally gave up the chase!
It would have been really funny for you if someone in his boat had drowned.
