Long story short... I went out after midnight for some catfishing. got high centered on the tracks and the train hit my explorer. lucky for me ot side swiped it and it was not a direct hit but about 3k in damages.

WOW, good thing you were ok dont hear allot of train vs suv stories with out a fatality.
If it make you feel any better when I was 16 I swerved to a miss I think was a cat or dog in road and drove my parents explorer right into a canal with about 4 to 5 feet water. [blush][blush][blush]

[#505000]Good to see you back Frank. Last I saw you was at a floatilla a few years back I was was afraid all us hardcore floaty types scared you off!! I know on occassion Tubedude has been mistaken for a bear especially if you get too close with a motorized watercraft.[/#505000] [:p]

[cool][#0000ff]Hey Frank, good to see you back in Utah. I guess Montana was not that kind to you. I hope your health is better than the last time we heard from you.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]As I told you in the PM, I will have you over sometime next week and we can raid the Fishing 101 tackle stash for some basic gear.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Also, attaching a couple of pics from that gorilla floatilla day way back when. That is you in the tube and you on the far left end of the "rogue's linup".[/#0000ff]

Hey man, I was inspired by the truck/train story... jk. I would love to go fishin with ya sometime. the other day my buddies and I were going out and I made mention of how I have enough tube jigs that I could never use them before they dissintigrate. So If you could use some 4 inch tubes I would be willing to donate to your cause, I also could also give you plenty of 1/4 oz jig heads for your tubes as well. Anyways, if you like Strawberry it would definately be enough to get you up and running there. Let me know.
