| Was out fishing Green Lake earlier this fall and of course I picked the one weekend where there was a bass tourney going on. After waiting 90 minutes to put the boat in, I finally got the boat up on top and started out looking for the one elusive Ski in that abyss.
1/2 mile out, I see this 24ft Crownline giving me the arms waving sign. So, I pull up and he's run out of gas while taking this heavy beast in to winterize it for his client. Of course he has no bow line so I unhook mine, which is only 15 feet, and slowly tow him back without him running into me or tearing my shoulder out of the socket. 30 minutes later I drop him at the ramp. He doesn't wave, say thank you or anything, just starts telling his buddy what happened. I had to ask him to give me my bow rope back.
30 boats probably passed this guy. That's sad. But my Dad always taught me you get out of this world what you put into it so I'll never leave a stranded fellow boater. To me, that is willingly putting someone in danger. One of these days, I'm going to need that Karma to pay off so I sure hope I run into one of you lunge-hunters when I need it.
