Guest Andrea Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Saturday night my husband went to check his catfish lines and got himself "checked" by a tree limb. It was not quite dark and he came around the bend of the river and got clotheslined by this limb sticking up out of the water. He'd passed it a million times before but for some reason......just didn't see it this time. Knocked him out of the boat. Sunk the boat (well, filled the boat up completely with water...it didn't go to the bottom). Busted his lip, busted his nose. Blacked his eye and scratched his face up pretty good. He managed to drag the boat to the bank and bail it out. The river was running high due to all the recent rains we've had. If he'd been knocked unconcious...he probably wouldn't be here today. ALSO.............had I been with him.............I would have taken the brunt of that collision since I would have been sitting up front.

buckee Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Re: Husband almost lost it OUCH ...man that sounds like a very close call. He was probibly used to ducking that branch, but the high water kinda relocated it. Good to hear your both OK. It sounds like he got beat up pretty bad though.

[/ QUOTE ] I dunno, I guess when he went off the boat, the back end went under water. All I know is.....I would have FREAKED OUT being in that water at night.
