Well, the wind was blowing against us, and we couldn't get the boat under the cables. The boat ended up against the steel float, with the motor going into the rocks and the chain. John pushed his foot against the float to keep the boat off of it, and when he did, the float moved, he lost his balance, and fell in.:smile2: It was very graceful, as I didn't even ask if he was OK, I just asked, "where's your phone at" as he said in my upper pocket, and it was OK. He only went in up to his belly, he was dang near treading water to stay in the boat as he grabbed on the the rail as he went over. I grabbed him, pulled him back in the boat, and we both laughed. I for one, think he's due for a name change, and here's why...

1. The night I caught my 65, his bilge had so much water in it, the boat wouldn't even plane off. He said. "Dang, I knew something wasn't right, my truck was struggling to pull it up the hill"

2. Auto Inflato. He autoinflated his life vest while throwing the bait net at Alton. He was trying to ditch the inflated vest as fast as I was looking for a camera.

3. Drag Chute Incident. While returning home from the Shootout last October, our drift sock flew out of the back of the boat running 70mph down I-70. It looked like the parachute out of the back of John Force's funny car. Then again, he escaped a name change.

Now we have this incident, and I believe it's due.:smile2::smile2: Yesterday, he was the "fisherman formally know as Cuz" Now, I think since he was in a "TIGHT SPOT", the name fits! LMAO:big_smile::crazy::wink: "

And yes Willie if it were any of us with Cuz in the boat it would be a name change with pictures for sure":smile2:

Sure does seem like no one will mess with the 'PREZ', scared are we? Seems he always escapes a well-deserved name change.:confused2:

I vote 'YES', it's about time!:wink:

Gee, there are so many incidents deserving a name change I dont believe we can just use one of them. I think he needs a name that will be a cumlative result of all incidents. Calamity comes to my mind but there should be something better out there. :wink::smile2::smile2::smile2:
