OK, OK.
I think it was a rock actually.
The tilt/trim motor for the outboard has a tendency to stick if it gets a little bit of moisture and sets for a while. So I just left the outboard where it was a continued fishing. Whatever it was stopped that boat cold. I did a very un-graceful 1 1/2 loser (the opposite of a 1 1/2gainer).
Even in a power plant lake that water sure is cold this time of year. The 10 minute ride back to the ramp was even colder.
It wouldn't have been quite so bad if it'd been July.
What's weird in a good way was that I had my wallet and cell phone in my pocket and even though I got thoughly soaked I manged to pull them out quick enough that they were unharmed.
