what a ride...
we were 7 miles from the ramp catching fish when lighting flashed. we packed our crap up and ran back to the ramp.. i have never been in a ranger running 70 but we were...and that was going 70 gps into a 35 mph head wind with two guys over 300 pounds,a full tackle load -1000pounds-,a half tank of gas...
btw this was a 520 ranger with a 225 merc on da back.. zooker

ok, question zookles...............ARE YOU CRAZY? we just had tornados touch down around here. lighting all over, 2 kidded in murpheeboro,tn. the wife saw the after affects of a tornado hitting just 5 miles away from me. sorry for the rant, too many hurricanes and tornados sen with these eyes and i am just worried about folks out on the water in weather like this. take care of yourself.

lol @ bama....hell i was suprised that we did hit 70 in that condition. it got worst after the video was over i am talking holding on with BOTH hands...if ya really look at the video the boat and the lake horizon are on the same plane. using the lower edge of the troller -which has a kick stand- watch how much the boat it going left to right...
james. you fishing the sercert lake next week?? ya'll got and open seat?? zooker
