Cumberland lake bust!!!

Alright, story please?????

Meeting another couple at Strange Bait one morning at 7 a.m. to fish the river. Left Louisville at 4:30 a.m. Usually travel between 70-75 mph on the interstate, then 55-65 on the secondary roads. After doing that kind of speed through all the turns to Burkesville, we arrive right on time.

Ladies needed to use the restroom at Riverfront Lodge, so I removed all holddown straps except the winch while we waited on them. Then, after all that, my leaf spring on the trailer broke while going 20-25 mph on the straightaway from Riverfront Lodge to the Burkesville boat ramp. Axle on the trailer bent until the tire hit the trailer frame, boat started boucing, then the whole setup flipped 90-degrees.

Think God might have been sitting next to me on the trip from Louisville to Burkesville? People could have died that day if it would have happened before I got to Burkesville.

Wow that is a tough deal for sure, I'm glad nobody was hurt.
