I just wanted to share this story and send a thank you out to Joe from Wichita Falls, TX. I didn't catch his last name unfortunately. Friday evening out at Fork me and my fiance were out on the water when the wind picked up quite a bit and the boat was taking on some water. Come to find out my bilge pump wasn't working either. We got to the 515 west public boat ramp as quick as we could but we had taken on quite a bit of water and couldn't make it back to Lake Fork Marina where the truck and trailer were. There was 1 guy left in the parking lot and after talking to him and explaining the situation, he agreed to give me a ride to Lake Fork Marina. A very big thank you to Joe from Wichita Falls, TX.

Good stuff right there. When you own a boat, it's not if you will need help, but when you will need some help. Always pay it forward.

That's awesome, in most cases fisherman are some of the best people willing to lend a helping hand. Good job Joe from Wichita Falls, TX

That's greatness. Sometimes if I even think someone is in trouble I will stop and ask and most of the time there not but I just want to make sure.
Thanks,

Awesome Joe! Reminds me of when i was coming back from fork, i almost left the spare tire on the ground where i was staying thinking to myself "nah i wont need it" boy am i glad i went back and got it. When I get to emory, I blow a tire on my trailer, not prepared at all. In the truck I have both my parents, my dog, and all the [censored] that my mother packed for no reason, no jack, no wrenches nothing not even a screw driver. And someone pulls over and thankfully helps me out, used to work in a tire shop and had everything in his van. If youre reading this, Thanks Kevin!
