I would like to personally thank a couple of guys who really helped my partner and I out this past weekend at Barkley on Sunday. We had fished all day and stayed in the same area for 7 hours, therefore never starting the big motor. With 35 mintues to go before our weighin we decided to head on in to make the 20 minute run with time to spare. To our surprise, the cranking battery is completely dead. There were 2 guys fishing in Donaldson Creek with us and although they were too fishing a tournament, they took a good 20 minutes out of their time to help us out.

We got the motor started and made it to the ramp with 4 minutes to spare. Thanks to these guys, my partner won the tourney and I finished in 5th including winning big fish with a 5.82lb largemouth.

If the guys who helped us out read this, i want to express my deepest thanks for your assistance. Without your help, we were sunk!

Thank goodness there are still a few good ole boys out there that will lend a hand when someone needs it!
