crazy4fishin Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Jim - I don't know you and I am glad you are OK....mostly that you didn't whack your head or something when you fell....I swim like a rock so whenever I am on bigger water like TR I have a tendency to keep it on at the time....sure, it makes my tan lines look a little funny when I go shirtless - but when I get on the no wake lakes around here not so much - I guess I could fall out of the boat going 5 MPH as well as 65 MPH C4F Daryk Campbell Sr 1 Crazy4fishinA Cornhusker
