<br /> Wade and I snuck out to find some big cats on rod -n- reel this afternoon. I splashed the gas tank in case we decided to run further than planned, not necessarily a great idea, more to come. <br /> Launched, headed for the first hole...NOTHING, not even a nibble. decided we better find a hot spot. Started the motor, and it was smoking like CRAZY. it would also only run in neutral and revved up. Something was bad wrong. Wade inspected a little closer and asked, &quot; <br />Did you put diesel in the boat&quot;? Heck no I said, who would be that stupid...Wade looked a little more and confirmed, Diesel in the tank. HOLY CRAP!<br /> Now we are stuck a mile from the ramp and hoping the T-motor battery has enough juice. As we got settled for that end, and Game Warden was coming by and we flagged him down. He gave us a tow to the ramp, and we loaded up. I pured all that bad fuel into some bucket I had with me, and off to the gas station for GAS this time. The old gal really liked that gas this time and back at it we went. Should Have stayed off the water as we never caught a fish, even though we had two or three small bites. Still better than honey-dos!<br /> Â
