Gotta Hate It When The Throttle Cable Breaks After Midnight.

[Hopedale Hustler]

So we all sittin around last night shootin the stuff playin some cards and pool..when we get this idea to get the beer together and go froggin...havent been in a few days and i was hoping the water was gonna be lower..get to the launch...the waters perfect..by this time its already 12 midnight and we were ready to roll...after about a hour of froggin and about 25 frogs for some reason or another the throttle cable decides to break about 5 miles in the Maurpas swamp...we had no tools to fix and we were highly intoxicated..it was the funniest thing when it broke...it wasnt to funny 3 hours later when we were still trying to paddle and pushpole out..haha....hell of a night with the boys was about to get worse..we let the battery go dead..no light...it was horrible..we couldnt even idle out..got tore up by west nile vicious blood suckers..and only caught 25 frogs and a buzz in the 7 hours we were there...
