This is why we wear our kill switches ...

[Top Dawg]

One year coming back from a teal hunt I was running down the intracoastal and I stopped just short of gibbstown and took my kill switch off to adjust my motor. And thinking I just had to go right there I didn't hook it back up. Right after I got up to full speed (low-mid 40's) I hit a cross tie at water level. My buddy next to me was sitting in the pirogue another on the floor and one in front. Knocked tiller out of my hand and boat started doing bouncing 360s in the intracoastal. I was 3/4 out the boat when I finally got the tiller and killed the engine. I was soaking wet from hanging in the water. Bruised from the pirogues pinning me down. Teal all over the place. Just a bit more and I woulda fell in and the prop would have been right over me. After that I wear my kill switch to go a hundred yards.

Glad your ok! Its happen to me on the Sabine here in Deweyville. When the river got low this past summer I took a ride and I could not believe the stumps and logs that I have been running W.O.T. over. I havent been back on the river this way since I seen that. When it happen to me I was so shook up I thought about sitting on the floor of my boat for the rest of the run back to the ramp!
