This past weekend the Annual Kids Unlimited Foundation Bass Tournament was held on Fayette County Lake near LaGrange, Texas. A number of the local Bass Cat Boys make this an annual event taking kids, under treatment for some sort of cancer, fishing for a half day team bass tournament, i.e. one child and one fisherman making up the team. While the event went smoothly and all the kids had a great time, apparently, Jimmy Rozell fealt that a demonstration of the new boarding ladder on the 08 Pumas was needed. Unforntunately for Jimmy, the camera boat, taking pictures of the kids catching and showing their fish, was right behind him when he elected to physically demonstrate how one should use this newly added device. During my investigation of the incident, Mr. Rozell indicated he was trying to lip a big fish while squating down on the front deck. I asked him if he had ever thought about getting down on one or both knees to keep his center of gravity from being out over the edge of the boat. His reply was some what negative and colorful I must admit. I guess Jimmy will have to catch a few more big fish (those a little bigger than he can swing into the boat) in order to hone his mechanics in fish handling. Mean while, thank goodness for the new boarding ladder. It is obvious the ladder has a heavy weight rating. This thread is not ended as we await the delivery of pictures from those who were present. Reporting from the scene, Bass Cat Charlie. Last edited by Charlie Hammack on November 8th, 2007, 5:44 am, edited 1 time in total.
