One time i took off n forgot to put my basket of
Crappie in the boat. Got wound up in the prop
real bad n turned all my fish into chum.

Got the new ducer in and installed. Only thing left to do is to check if I did it RIGHT! Wish a few hours was enough curing time for the silicone.

It'll be alright by morning Ken. Go jerk some lips.

That's makes me feel better Ketchn. I have kicked almost everything imaginable out of my little boat. Poles, anchors, lures, etc.

I lost two $100 anchors this year and just quit taking them. They get stuck on the bottom and I can't pull them out. The mushroom kind won't stop my boat and just scoot across the bottom.

Last August, I kicked a nice ultralight Daiwa fishing pole out of my boat at Lake Murray in OK and just watched it sink into the deep clear water. I seriously considered diving after it but figure I might drown, as my pontoon boat might be a hundred yards away due to the wind when I surfaced.

I feel for these guys. I left four fishing poles at the dock after a long night fishing trip. I can't believe I did it but I did.

Pkfishin you may want to look into box anchors... they hold anything down and wont cost you much, especially if you have access to a welder. Check the catfish section too, some good guys over there use them a lot.
