sounds nuts! glad it wasn’t me and that he survived. you really have to be careful out there. they don’t call it the Might Mississippi for nothin’!

That is worse than what I saw the other day, a guy and his father (elderly man) launched their boat in about a 5mph current. The trailer went under the dock and ruined it, but he still wanted to go fishing. They both hopped in the boat and after 10 minutes trying to free the boat from the dock they took off, with a 3hp motor.
