Well now I know I need a stronger boat...
Went out for a couple days fishing..caught some monster pike, just about had my finger bitten off. All good so far. Starting to think about heading back, so we b-line for our fuel cache..wouldn't you know it some ahole finds our gas and steals a 5gallon can. Now we have to take short cuts to get back, as we are 30 miles from town, sure enough, were dodging boulders doing good..relax for 2 seconds to check gear and gas level...bamn big dent, fist sized hole, water spraying all over. So pumps on, plugs out and full throttle back, but shes still takeing water on..and of course we run out of gas a mile from the truck..water is 140ft deep..start paddling...grab the primer bulb and starting priming..just enough to get on the trailer..I actully thought it was going down when I was a mile from shore and the first thing I thought was I don't have insurance..we need to get to shore...
anyway RR III filming went pretty good..too much fun

Wow sounds exciting. Where are you at that you can be hitting rocks and in 140 foot of water on the same trip?
