$100K!!! STUCK in the MUD with NO RECEPTION!!
Matt's in TROUBLE! Tim and Tonya were enjoying an awesome day on the water when the phone rang... "HELP!!" Somehow Matt and Coop (an hour and a half away, deep in the woods) managed to get themselves STUCK!! They aren't just stuck, the boat is still on the trailer, the trailer sunk over the axles, and the back half of the truck is in the lake!
It was a quick end to an awesome morning on the water. The fish were absolutely choking the ned rig and keitech (exact baits linked below) when the call came in. Have you ever taken a call you wish you hadn't answered? (Ha!) Of course we're not going to leave friends in trouble so we stopped fishing, loaded the boat and started the search. It took several hours to reach them (they failed to mention how far out in the woods they really were) but we finally got there!
With Coop giving the Yamaha SHO 250 full throttle, and Matt and Tim both standing on the gas with trucks in 4 wheel drive, the 3 were able to get the rigs back out of the water. Success! When you're exploring the road less traveled things like this can happen. Sure, we could go to a paved boat ramp in the middle of town like everyone else, but then we'd catch the same fish as everyone else. Life is short, get out there and explore... but make sure you have the equipment to keep you safe and friends that are willing to help when you get in over your head.
Below you'll find links to the exact equipment Tim and Tonya were fishing with before the call came in. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
