Heck I'll even help you drink it. You'll have to! No rightly minded Texan would touch that horse p.... spit! Now, make it Shiner, and you'll get some offers!  You are an expert on Fork now, fish the Berkley with us next weekend!

Hey guys, sorry for late reply. Had a couple rough days, even had to down a couple bottles of your local "horse pi$$ spit" to get over it. Wednesday was the guided trip, I made it plain I wanted nothing to do with anything that weighed less than 5 lbs. He was excited to go lunker hunting. We gave it all we had but in the end the Basstards came out on top. Last forty minutes we put around a dozen fish on board just for the fun of it, all under 2 lbs. Now that was a hoot! After returning to shore around 1pm I packed for the trip to Table Rock only to find truck battery completely dead and shorted out. Sometime between packing up, doing the things necessary to tow my truck to dealership for warranty work and the repair at dealership someone took my graphs. Didnt discover they were gone until late Friday so I never got a chance to fish the tournament. Didn't want to run the lake with depth reading or charts. Also missed out on a Lew's rod at the weigh-in were they had drawings and prizes. One for the longest distance travelled to attend the TOC. I would have easily won that but wasnt there to collect, my bad. Anyway this CHIT happens to me all the time, boo hoo Got some serious buyers lined up, I'll miss that boat some day, just not right away as I'll have some pocket change for awhile. 89Jav will post link to pics soon or just goto BassBoat Central for and look in the Champion forum for link.

Wow man bummer to hear the troubles you had. Man I looked on BBC like one or two times and even tried finding where top become a member, etc, no luck and seemed to me to be more of a data site and it kinda didn't interest me besides reading the owners section. Anyhow ya Ill give it another try. Good luck with the boat for sale.. Sucks about the graphs.

It ain't over till the fat-lady sings. Broke the Fulton Fold-Away hinge on my trailer tongue today at about 65 mph! It was exciting!  I was merging with Northbound traffic on I-635 from Westbound traffic off of I-80. Let me see $165 for the tow, $100 for a new hinge, probably $50-$100 for install and $104 for a room. Did I mention that the dirtbag that stole my graphs also took my meds? Yep, expensive stuff too, $1,000+, not covered under insurance. I have enough in my weekly carrier for another day and a half. Just enough to get me home.

Sorry to hear about your graphs being stolen and your trailer tounge. Those fork thieves will eventually run into the wrong one. Can you explain the issue with your truck? I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2016 Eco diesel Laramie for $38k and trying to find/read all I can about them. Sounds like you got great mpg on the way here. How's the take off unloaded?

Probably left something on and drained the battery so low that it shorted out. Overall I got over 18mpg and that was doing 70-75 most of the time. Get that Laramie you will be very happy!
