Hey Rick Look what I caught at Kent Lake today.

[dartag]

I knew her location from what Rick had told me.  I was there last week but the water was dirty.  Today after a couple passes I could see her nestled between a couple rocks.  Good thing I had my trusty garden rake with me.  A couple dips and I had her on.  Got her up close to the boat and got a rope attached.  Drug her over to shore and put her in the boat.  She is now safe in the garage.  Going to make a nice coffee table ornament.  The prop may be able to be rebuilt.

Nice,

That's allot to loose at Kent's speed

[Waterfoul]

Makes you wonder what the "catch of the day" might be at nearby restaurants!!!

[Hollada]

I thought you were bs'ing when you said you'd get it.  Too funny.


Will make a nice wall mount.

That didn't happen without creating a wake!  LOL

Rick,

Let me guess the spot
It's a little north of the boat rental on the west side?

[YpsiBass]

Couple hundred yards to the left of the east launch.  Thanks for pulling that out of there Dartag.  Glad I can laugh about it now.  Prop looks salvageable at least.  If I'm going to screw something up, I'm going to do it well.  Still can't believe you found it.

[bob o]

the key words right here "nestled between a couple rocks" i'm guessing it didn't move very far once it hit the rocks. has anyone marked that rock hump with a milk carton or something

[dartag]

If you mark it you could be liable if someone hits it.  It has come up on our lake a couple times.  Guess you could ask the park people.  From now on I will remember it as  " Rick's Hump ".  Might even name it on my GPS.  I have all sides of it waypointed.

[Waterfoul]

Drop a milk jug on it when no ones looking.  Seems dumb the park hasn't done something about it.  I know a couple other guys who have hit it too.

[t-bone]

I've eased into it but didn't do any damage. They should have it marked. I stay close to the islands when I "run" on Kent now!

[bob o]

Rick hump

[YpsiBass]

Rick hump

I don't do that on command.

[TimH]

Rick hump

I don't do that on command.

LOL

I guess at least it said "Rick Hump" and Not "Hump Rick"....that could have lead to some awkward encounters at the boat ramp for you.

[djkimmel]

If I could afford to be sued I would put that sign on it!!

I've tried to hit it twice! I don't go out there enough to remember exactly where it is so I think I'm off to the side and instead I always end up aimed right dead center at it!

Thank goodness my Kent Lake speed is no wake instead of 10 mph. At 10 mph I plow a pretty wicked 'wake' in the old Ranger - looks ridiculous so I don't do it. I'm not in too big of a hurry on a lake with so many stumps, rock piles and sandbars.

You know dartag... since you found and recovered it I believe you have salvage rights?!?

Steve was supposed to give me the lower unit and prop... Looks like he forgot about me... I looked at the weigh in for Steve and never saw him.. Did you leave early Steve?

[djkimmel]

He is mature...

[ACbassassassin]

Can anyone help a weary Kent lake traveler out?  Where exactly is this lower-unit hunter at?

"Couple hundred yards to the left of the east launch."

I myself like fishing around there and have yet to notice it.
