    After pulling our boat for 4 years with my “RUSTED OUT” 1991 Jeep Cherokee was I was recently informed the FW wanted to down size from her 1997 Dodge minivan to a car and I just so happen to have a decent 1994 Subaru wagon she liked and great on gas.

    I searched many car sales lots and graigs list and found the truck pictured. 1996 Chevy Silverado 4×4 for $2800.00 with a TON of new parts,all the parts that ever went bad on these trucks had been replaced in the past year.

    After selling the van and jeep it cost me only $300 outta my pocket.

    I was very anxious to hook the boat up and head down the road ,come saturday I took my nieghbor out fishing and headed down I-90 to the river, after getting there I wasnt happy to see HIGH ,FAST water ,but we made the best of it and did some exploring.We caught maybe 15-18 fish with just 2 keepers . Mostly small eyes with the exception of 2 nice saugers ,1 18″ or so and the one pictured(3lb +), almost forgot about my bonus 15 1/4″ smallie .

    Sorry no measurements or wieght but by far my best sauger to date. Now all I need is a scale

    It was a smooth ride on a ruff hiway and a great day out with a friend ,looking forward to making longer fishing trips with the family now that we have a good pull vehicle .

    Sorry for the long post
