Whoops...

Big fish are rough on equipment!

 

Wasn't a "bottom" fish was it?

 

No, thankfully the rod floated to the surface after the line snapped! That saved me a few Benjamin’s.

 

Wow, wonder what you hooked? Must have been huge. Glad you got the rod back.

 

Wow...Never seen this happen. I assume it was in the holder and not someone's hands?

 

Speaking of whoops.....



Wind turbine blade crash shuts down traffic on I-70 in Maryland

 

lol! Yeah in was in the swivel holder on a leash!
When the rod snapped my buddy thought the rod holder got ripped off the side of the boat.

99% sure it was a Thresher shark, I though it was played out so I cranked up the lever drag to get it beside the boat to harpoon it. Well it was still very much alive and took a hard turn under the boat and ran, that was that.

 

Driver reported the brakes were hanging up on the pusher axle, when I slid under to take a look I found the Grand Canyon!

 

Can be welded or major repair?

 

Can it be welded, yes. Should it be…

 

It cracked for a reason. Have to figure out why. My guess would be a load on the lower flange…

 

Kohler with 800 hrs.

 

I didn’t take any other pics but the rust between the double frame expands and pushes the two apart. The way the truck is (ab)used plays a big role as well.

 

That pizzes me off. 800 hrs and she goes off her meds??

 

Ouch! Any clue what caused the catastrophic damage?

 

no good at all

Timberrr...Hope that's not yours Ron T

 

Yikes! Hope everyone was ok! Were they trying to load/unload that from the trailer sideways?
