Title: Basser down ha ha!
Post by: bassquatch on April 02, 2013, 01:16:44 PM: Hit lake Terrell yesterday, was fishing along and ping TWANG dead foot pedal!! :bash: Primary steering cable snapped :bash: NOOO not now!! I have vacation time in 2 weeks for some prime bass fishing :yike: Got my use out of her though, going through my records, that motor had seen 8 years of service on the front of my boat, which equals about 8,000 hours of fishing time (no joke)! Thank you Motorguide :tup:

Then on my way home I swung by Burlington to see what Wholesale Sports had for motors and they are closed for business :yike: :bash: :bash: :bash: nooooo, I loved that store!! :bash:

I got home and promptly hid under my bed fearing more bad news :peep:

Ran over to Cabelas today and should have a new trolling motor next week! :tup: :IBCOOL:

FORTUNATELY this past winter I bought some back-up :chuckle: 12' Alumacraft Jon Boat that I just finished customizing hee hee, I shouldn't miss a beat next week :tup:

What a PIG! :yike: Caught on a white spinnerbait. I might have to find a little time for some topwater bassin this year.
