I found the boat a couple years after it sank. It took me down memory lane to when I was a young man and my dad was still alive. Needless to say, their plan didn't work! I'm so glad I found these pics. His friends each had large bass boats and they devised a plan to raise tha boat and drag it back to Choctaw Landing. The pole that is laying across the stumps was part of the recovery attempt that my dad and me and two of his friends were gonna use to get the boat out of the lake. That water was so cold and it was getting dark when they found us. The bow stayed above water so my Dad sit on it and I just swam around until an old couple found us. The bow was hung on that stump so it didn't sink completly. I reached down to turn the key and it was already under water. I told my Dad that we were sinking and he told me to turn the motor off so it wouldn't suck water in it. I put the motor in reverse but the motor didn't have power trim and the motor just raised out of the water when I gunned it. The bow of the boat got stuck on the stump and that made the stern start taking on water. We were just barely going above idle when we hit that Cypress stump. He was a heavy drinker, and hard headed, I told him I couldn't see where I was going and that he needed to get out of that seat and sit beside me, but he wouldn't and told me he was "watching" for stumps. ![]() I was driving, I was only about 20 years old then, My Dad was sitting in the pedestal seat up front. The livewell was FULL! Anyway it was getting dusky dark and we were heading back to the ramp. We had had a heck of a day catching White Humpback catfish. We launched the Boat from Greysport that morning. My Dad and I were running trotlines in the backwaters.
