We've all heard the story about the new Bayliner owner that launched
his boat with the trailer still attached.

I've always put that somewhat in the area of an urban myth.

Now, I'm not so sure.....

The guy's probably a better fisherman than he is an actor.
The incident was very obviously staged, and the mock "surprise" is
unconvincing. I don't watch his fishing show, but do they normally
have the cameras rolling whenever the pickup truck backs the boat down
the ramp? If not, that's additional evidence that the entire, lame
skit was preplanned.

Sorry - he's the real deal.

I saw him once at the Worcester Sportsman show when he was putting on
a lure demonstration at the fish wall - he got to talking and walked
right off the end of the platform into the tank. :)

He's a lot like me in fact - an accident waiting to happen.
