4 footer at 35... what you will see is my trolling motor ripping off the bow and flying at your head. Last run in 4 footers I broke the studs of my cranking battery when it came out of the box.  I submarined it !!Scary stuff man!! Shes getting to old to run hard now.

i didnt mean at 35 goof, my back hurts enough, just want to see how it handles waves

It wasnt one of the main river guys , I was heated and didnt really look. It was a Shi$$y little green drift boat . Ohh Well  , They didn't catch anything while they were there   The rest of the day was great with two people on the other side of the river ...  Needs to clear up just a bit .

yeah Fenwick i was on the other side of the river with Kowboy i saw that boat cut u right off unbelieveable but like u said it was a great day to be on the river my first time in years and i had a great time

        Another driftboaters paradise today on the River.. 2500cfs plus runoff... Hopefully the Rain Saturday night won't be too bad so we can get this River back down to a more bank angler friendly River. I'd be happy with 1600cfs right now , actually it's no skin off my back , I can fish anytime I want ,  but I feel bad for the guys that work hard all year and can only fish the River a few times a year and get there trips ruined by high water......it bums me out......
            All the gauges look good right now and so did the creeks when I went driving around today, so hopefully the power company will get her down tomorrow evening for the weekend boys...we'll see....  My backs been out the last few days, but I did hobble over to the River and floated a couple experimental beads in a back seem, caught a shorty and lost a nice one in about 20 minutes effort... they are there, just a matter of uncovering the pools and runs....
