Hey Rick Look what I caught at Kent Lake today.

I knew her location from what Rick had told me.  I was there last week but the water was dirty.  Today after a couple passes I could see her nestled between a couple rocks.  Good thing I had my trusty garden rake with me.  A couple dips and I had her on.  Got her up close to the boat and got a rope attached.  Drug her over to shore and put her in the boat.  She is now safe in the garage.  Going to make a nice coffee table ornament.  The prop may be able to be rebuilt.

Makes you wonder what the "catch of the day" might be at nearby restaurants!!!

Nice,

That's allot to loose at Kent's speed


That didn't happen without creating a wake!  LOL

Rick,

Let me guess the spot
It's a little north of the boat rental on the west side?

YpsiBass

Couple hundred yards to the left of the east launch.  Thanks for pulling that out of there Dartag.  Glad I can laugh about it now.  Prop looks salvageable at least.  If I'm going to screw something up, I'm going to do it well.  Still can't believe you found it.

bob o

the key words right here "nestled between a couple rocks" i'm guessing it didn't move very far once it hit the rocks. has anyone marked that rock hump with a milk carton or something

dartag

If you mark it you could be liable if someone hits it.  It has come up on our lake a couple times.  Guess you could ask the park people.  From now on I will remember it as  " Rick's Hump ".  Might even name it on my GPS.  I have all sides of it waypointed.

Waterfoul

Drop a milk jug on it when no ones looking.  Seems dumb the park hasn't done something about it.  I know a couple other guys who have hit it too.

I've eased into it but didn't do any damage. They should have it marked. I stay close to the islands when I "run" on Kent now!

I don't do that on command.

LOL :D :D :D :D

I guess at least it said "Rick Hump" and Not "Hump Rick"....that could have lead to some awkward encounters at the boat ramp for you.

djkimmel

If I could afford to be sued I would put that sign on it!! ;D

I've tried to hit it twice! I don't go out there enough to remember exactly where it is so I think I'm off to the side and instead I always end up aimed right dead center at it!

Thank goodness my Kent Lake speed is no wake instead of 10 mph. At 10 mph I plow a pretty wicked 'wake' in the old Ranger - looks ridiculous so I don't do it. I'm not in too big of a hurry on a lake with so many stumps, rock piles and sandbars.

You know dartag... since you found and recovered it I believe you have salvage rights?!? :D

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Steve was supposed to give me the lower unit and prop... Looks like he forgot about me... I looked at the weigh in for Steve and never saw him.. Did you leave early Steve?

Can anyone help a weary Kent lake traveler out?  Where exactly is this lower-unit hunter at?

Rick posted it

"Couple hundred yards to the left of the east launch."

I myself like fishing around there and have yet to notice it.
