My day at Lincoln Started bad, boat won't run, then when I did get going, I went flying across the water past Benjamin Slew and when I got up in the shallows by where I fish I backed off the throttle and Dakota went flying off the front of the boat. I was looking back for the mud to start churning up from the prop. That's how I know when it's getting shallow. But Dakota loves the water and falls out at least once a year. Then my front trolling motor was all out of wack. It took some time to get it all adjusted and going with the front arrow pointing right. And lifting in and out of the water some how the power plug to my front fish finder was dragging in the water. I found that out when I got out to Bird. And it caused one of the posts, pos. Or neg. to carode. And my Lowrance K2 4 that came with the boat would not even turn on. Not a fuse, dead.
But the thrill of that first cat, made everything worth it. I forgot to get a picture of it. But it was just over 26 and around 7 lbs. And fought so hard at one time he was around each of the anchor ropes. I was so excited to get it in the net. After that nothing could have ruined my day.
