Location: Pelican Rapids, MN | ONE UPPER! JK! Ouch that had to hurt. Like Doug said, if you spend any amount of time up there, "There's fisherman who have hit rocks, and fisherman that are going to hit rocks." If I remember correctly, Justin at Mylies smoked a rock last season... Not to mention, ask him how many other LOTW veteran boats he sees limping in. I bet the number is astronomical.
I remember talking to Jack Burns several years ago when he switched out of an aluminum boat to a fiberglass one. I asked him if he had any reservations with all the rocks he would be encountering every weekend. He told me "No, he had pretty reliable navigation paths he had been taking for decades." After the season we caught up and he told me he had been cruising half the year with a damaged prop and a hole in his hull. Just goes to show you, no one is safe from the terrain under that water - Those friggin' rocks have teeth!
