Nice job guys. Sorry I could not make it. My mother in law was in Chicago for treatment. We were told they could not do anything for her so I hoped on the next flight out to drive her back home. I'm pumped you guys went and kicked ***. I knew y'all would.

Data how we roll two fist in the air till the end......prefishing PAYED OFF my brutha!!

Dayum bro, you didn't tell me about the TM

Just think what a good Waterloo could have done?????

Im comin by this week i tried last weekend but i think it was too late....

That's a whole lotta limetreuse in that last pic... hurts my eyes.

Lol

Congrads...

You beat out Joey huh?

Good. LOL

Naw, he had a 4lb trout lol....that was it, we took the gr slam....they paid out biggest trout, biggest red, and biggest slam....we missed biggest trout by 1/4lb if im not mistaken.....he croaker soaked it lol...all of ours were on top for reds and trout, flounder was on dead skrimpys;)

That's what he does. Crocker soak. It wins him money all year. His nephew is the guy who beat me and LCD last year. We beat him so I took that as a plus.

Had to turn down the brightness on my phone:spineyes:

Congrats! When ur good your good, you can't fake it.

I broke 2 minn Kota shafts; it'll all b under warranty.... But it may take a while tonget the parts in.... I waited 3 weeks the first time and 5 weeks the second time.
Maybe it was the repair shop being slow; but minn Kota did fix the issue .

Hope it dont take that long... but I have more sh*t to get done. Don't know how long this will take..
Saw this after the boat was on the trailer. Another spot right in the Center of the V had a nice star! Just the top layer :mad::banghead:

Congrats on the win! I shattered my TM shaft just like that. The collar ALWAYS slides down for runs now.

You hit anything?

No the trolling motor hit the boat when it snapped . . I guess the point is what chipped the glass

I was fishing a shearwater two weeks ago in grand isle and the same thing happened to his ipilot.
Maybe MinnKota needs to review this design. Sounds to be happening to a lot of units.

Good luck getting it repaired in a timely fashion.

Mine says that nice and clear on the little sticker with the instructions - was wondering if "during transport" meant while on the trailer, on the water or both... Now I know!

His just came unlock also while moving too? The handle doesn't take much effort/pressure to release the trolling motor from the stowed position.
All I can think of is the up and down forces at the bow cause that handle to move and it releases the motor...

He said that the latch (or whatever secures it in stowed position not familiar with TM) had broke the day before and he had not fixed it. Apparently he didnt think that it would come up and over the bow bc we were in pretty calm water.

His boat is <1 year old.
