Well Johnny was in fine form got him out of the house Sunday to drag some baits in the Arkansas river not far for a dam...We started at 530am and Johnny struck 1st then he struck 2nd as usual I couldn't let him get 3 in a row so I came to life We had a great day pushing our 2 man limit of 20...we only get 10 a man here....then it happened Johnny busted a small blue about 1lb he bounced off the deck and straight into my leg by my ankle I had to pull it out whew that was a killer we were dragging the I-pilot in 35 to 45ft deep.. the fishing is good our way in the heat if ya can stand it we left at noon looking for a 1st aid kit!!!
If it ain't broke don't fix it...but go ahead and work on it anyway.....

Been there, done that. Almost the same spot. I keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol on the boat now. Like the way you got your rod holders rigged up on the console. Might have to change mine out like that. Nice cats there!

Come to think about it, they use to use whiskey to sterilize wounds.

Looks like a great day, except for the way it ended. Dragging can be really fun this time of year. Just be sure to drink plenty water and try to stay cool. Iv learned shade on the boat REALLY helps.

A good day on the river is hard to beat even with a battle scar.

I got tired of rods bouncing all over creation and getting tangled up & stepped on etc...so I worked on a way to keep them organized... It works really well and is easy to make...Now carrying rubbing alcohol is different issue all together That catfish in the leg was devastating had to go to doctor get antibiotics..

Its time to start drifting, other than the fin in the leg on the last fish of the day we had a blast.

maybe Johnny should enroll in 1st Aid class so he can HELP his fishing partner out in a man-down situation... Its time to start drifting, other than the fin in the leg on the last fish of the day we had a blast.
