My buddy and I still fondly remember our awesome times fishing in his 14' aluminum jon boat in the waters being discussed. It leaked a bit .... I dubbed it the "Hitchy Bilge" .... it stuck

. Hey Bubba ... hit cha bilge. I moved up to a screamin' bass boat for 27 years, he a 30' sailboat ....
All those times on his little boat on the rivers/lakes down there were the best ever.
Go fishin'
