Where am I?

[ZaQ]

Hey guys, couldn't resist posting this one. I was fishing today and had quite the experience.
I know it is a link to my page, but it is the only way I know to show all the pics and not slow down the IFISH page.
This is it!

Got any eggs?

WOW! That sucks.

Mental note: always check that I set the parking brake before getting out of the rig on a boat ramp.

I doubt the title you placed on your pics even begins to describe it! That would definitely suck...and right before the holiday, too. Have to feel some pity for the owner.

Another arguement for full coverage insurance!! Ouch gotta feel for that guy could have been any one of us

[Gizmo Man]

Been there, done that. Same spot. The guy I was with, who owned the truck, had the pin brake in the auto trans. Good reason to carry a block and block your wheels on a steep ramp.

It is ironic that the truck came to rest on the same snag that my friends truck and trailer.

That poor guy hope he has flood insurace will did you see any fish in their boat. Nice pics

Work is for people who dont know how to fish

[Kinebra]

That ROCKS! Good to see your still fishing. Someday you'll have to teach me to catch those big trout (stealhead). I hear they taste a "little" fishey.

[Gizmo Man]

Wait until he gets the bill to have it towed out of the river.

I also hope the Or State patrol was not involved.

When my friends truck went in, the officer could hardly figure out what ticket or if they were going to arrest my friend. He made calls to see if he could write a ticket for polluting the river from the gas and oil in the rig.

If there are any cops out there, you should remember that your priority should be to protect life, then property not how many tickets you can write when someone is faced with a situation like this.

Giz... Oh yea, if you want an answer to the question " Where am I" .. you and the truck is below the Solly (sp?) Smith bridge on the Wilson.

[THE REEL HEY_YALL]

Reminds me of fishing in some of the rivers back home...who needs a tow truck?! Hey y'all watch this......

[Moby Catcher]

Ouch! As somebody I showed that to said, "That's what he gets for driving a Ford!" Heh, seriously though, that's no way to end a day on the river...

[Snagly]

Painful to look at. Reminds me of an Alaska story. This past April, buddy Slick and I hire a guide for the day. We roll down to the ramp early (the guide's boat is already in) and what do we see but a half-submerged rig with two guys in the front seat. They'd gone down the river the previous day, and hopelessly stuck their back wheels in weat gravel up to the axle. As there wasn't anyone behind them and it was a good 12 miles to anyone they decided to spend the night in the cab. I asked if they'd got any sleep. "A little" said one guy, "Until the tide came up around our feet!". The tide was back out, so our guide was able to haul them (and then their trailer and boat) out. Those were two miserable looking dudes.

So what do Slick and I do the next day? Yep, we managed to bury the rear wheels ALMOST axle deep in the same spot. Backed a little too far down the ramp. Feeling like complete idiots, we were saved by a local fellow who had been watching this bad comedy and sucking on a Snapple. We put him behind the wheel, laid every dead branch we could find in front and behind the mired wheels and he rocked the rig out. For a while there we felt like a scene out of "Dumb and Dumber". (Thank you Mr. Snapple!)

Found On River Drenched??

I gotta say, I feel fortunate now that it was only a little mud that I got stuck in last week. Now I don't feel so bad. It could have been much worse. I feel for those guys. Can you imagine having to come home and explain that to the wife? Can you imagine the flack they'll get the next time they want to go fishing? Geez. I hope they have good insurance. The electrical system might never recover from something like that.
