i was quitly fishing in the tailrace hole on tuckertown this morning minding my own business. i was starting to work out as the 8:30am turbine crankup was aproaching. having caught 3 bass.as i was getting under the road bridge. this guy comes flying up the lake with his 18-19 foot allison hot rod bass rig. and nails the rocks guarding the entrance to the tailrace he looked to be doing 60-70mph or so. well he more or less ground to a stop. was hung up on this granite vein -think leaf in a mud puddle-i had to pull him off backwards fighting a 15 mph currant they put out when they spin the turbines.then towed him 13 miles down lake to the hwy49 launch.. ended my day as i was about out of gas. he did fillup my lil tank at the hwy 49 store. but was very insistant on giving me $50 bucks ... i just told him he was very lucky i happened to be in there.there is only about 5-8 guys who regularly go in to the tail race as this area is VERY DANGEROUS...
