Smashed my boat on fork coming off plane.

Taking off can smash a motor as well.

Somebody post the youtube video


The infamous Cody Malone Glade run

In fairness the lake was low


There’s a handful of us that still make those runs in the back of Glade. Even with water up.

I've seen Cody and Eric Wright make the run into No Name on pad that absolutely terrifies me. Y'all are a lot braver than me!

We would gamble they used the old starter from that engine, and that may have caused the bendix issue.

What did Biffle say? If you can't see it its not there, perfect example where ignorance is bliss.

When they got up to fish, I would bet both seats on the boat were puckered right down the middle! eeks


Just one more cast!

That's exactly right. Everything on their boats, which are given to them anyway, have service crews to fix whatever goes wrong with their boat. We have to worry about paying for it and being without a boat while its fixed. We have much greater incentive to be careful. In their case, due to the money, they have much greater incentive to follow the rules of " a straight line is the shortest distance between points" and the money that's on the line. Saw Iaconelli fly up into a cove I was in while up on pad. Took me 5 minutes just to idle in there.

LAKE FORK GUIDE LANES - www.lakeforkguidelanes.com

Many of the MLF fishing professionals are customers of Lake Fork Guide Lanes and used them to efficiently navigate the lake during the entire event without a single issue reported. I cannot offer any names but we have had many of the top name competing professionals order Lake Fork Guide Lanes over the past few months after Lake Fork was first announced as one of the MLF Tournament stops. Many BASS Pros fishing in the Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest have also recently ordered the Lake Fork Guide Lanes Chip.

I designed Lake Fork Guide Lanes during the lowest water levels that Lake Fork has seen since the 1980s. I spent many months idling the entire lake when it was 7+ feet low and perfecting the accuracy of the lanes in 2012/2014 which I used with my fishing guide clients for years to safely navigate the lake through areas of heavy timber. See for yourself at www.lakeforkguidelanes.com - Here you can obtain this data consisting of over 1,000 waypoints to follow in order to help you gain access to the entire timber filled waters on Lake Fork. If you need to get Guide Lanes the same day while at the lake most all of the top marinas and gas stations now offer the product!

The navigation which Guide Lanes allows is unmatched by any other product and is an absolute game changer for any angler looking to keep their vessel safe and access less pressured areas on the lake. Tight lines everyone and always remember to wear your life jacket and be safe on the water!
