Yeah, all I can say is that's a bummer. I really feel for the guy. Poor man. Probly didn't realize what was goin on till it was too late. Nothin you can do about it when it starts goin south that bad. Just glad there was someone there to help him.

Nice rig. I see cool boat. I think that model truck has Special Order Outboard for Dumb Guys. On the order sheet the Dumb Guys are too embarrassed to click on ( I am a dummy ).
All the entertainment at a Boat Ramp can be hard NOT to LAUGH but it sure sucks for whoever the silly things happen to. I will say most of Operators Manual For Boats, Boat Trailers, and Vehicles never say : Warning if your a DUMMY do not attempt using this product.

Eagle Lake in October...did I mention seriously cold? Guys launching boats dripping water that was turning to ice, poor guy went in and brakes didn't work on the ice that was building up...just the roof sticking out, I felt bad for him, but I have paid attention to icy conditions ever since.

What, they make trucks without 4 wheel drive? Hell I make sure they have the full lock setups...a little harder to find.

If you don't like holiday boating, just take a six pack and a folding chair to any busy ramp, especially on a hot day and one that has party boats. It's a lot cheaper than a good comedy movie and a lot funnier. If you don't want to appear out of place, put a rod next to your chair. Just stay back. It is amazing how nice people get belligerent when drunk.

When I was a young man we used to do a lot of sneak shooting on Lake Erie. Sure have to put out a lot of decoys to do sneak shooting. Had a nice sneak boat at the time and we got lots of ducks.

I would assume sneak shooting and layout shooting are the same thing. No better way to dunk hunt in my opinion. It’s a ton of work but it’s such a rush to sit up to shoot while 10 ducks are coming in for a landing right in front of you. You can see the ow #%^* look in there eyes!

This just gave me a flashback to the mid '80s. My wife and I were on the way home to San Diego from a tournament in Texas. Stopped off at Lake Martinez near Yuma, AZ. We were in our 19.5 ft Minnie Winnie, pulling my 17ft bass boat. I lined her up on the ramp, got out and into the boat and my wife gently backed us down into the lake. A great roar of applause came up from people sitting around the launch area. Later one of them told me that the locals liked to come out to the ramp and just watch the fun of people "trying" to launch their boats. And, applaud good performances such as my wife gave them with her skill. No skill really, I had already lined it up. :-).

Many marriages end at the boat ramp!
My Wife has asked me to teach her how to back up a trailer...maybe this is the year?

Reminds me of a day me n my crew stopped for lunch at the ramp near the road we was working on. Guy n girl in a jeep with a 16' jon boat. The bridge across the canel was 8' wide. Gal gets out trying to direct the guy. After more times than she wanted to count she jerks drivers door open. Yells at him to get the h##l out n shut up. Not only did she make it in one try she took it down ramp. Put boat in water brought jeep n trailer back to parking lot. By that time a fair size group had gathered. Hikers on the towpath fisherman n my crew. I'm not sure if she kicked him out of boat after they left ramp or not.
