2" of water on the floor is enough to make anybody pucker up and lose interest in fishing...gotta go fix my boat! I'll bet Release was livid with the boat; but kooler heads prevailed and filet figured it out and returned to shore...safely. Glad you made it back Ok. Good ending, I'd hate to see a Lund sink!! And those 22-24" fish on the Leader Board are the ones you Diehards released over the past few seasons most likely...
Don't feel alone Edd , 4th year in a row the wife and I didn't make the opener , I guess it's true Lunds don't sink had 2" of water up on the deck before I could find the problem and get it stopped , , got it pumped out and part is on order , could have fished but by then , just lost interest , samething happened to big jimmy last year That sure was a tight tourney board 22"-24" congrats to all that placed
glad you got it figured out bud, plenty of season ahead
Like extra sandwich for release?...h2l
Caught 90% of my fish before first light on opener, after the sun came up it got tough. Went the last 3 hours without a bite I can't take that kind of action. I have fished at midnight every year for about the last 20 years but this time I said heck with it, I'll just go early - wish I had gone at midnight though, because the bite was on. I waded out Monday night and got a limit in about 45 minutes then a few through backs, fished from 9:30 -10:30. Glad you figured it out Freddy, I have a couple similar incidents over the years - a boat filling with water is no fun.
