My buddy Jeff from Iowa had a that truck BTTB. Was our fishing truck, red and white with the aluminum cap. We bought a naked wide bottom 8' john boat and turned it into a stump jumper if you will. Voodoo might know what I mean. It floats low and stable. Two bass seats, live well, lights, two batterys, carpeting, and we could pop it in the back of that truck and close the gate and cap lid.

Those were some good days. Jeff's son is the one that recently shot himself....PTSD.

No cap on mine. Just an old rusty blue. It was one reliable SOB though.

What I did was buy a rubber blow up boat. Like a zodiac but REALLY small time. ($100)

I was so HOOKED on fishing I would drive down to Redondo beach or up to Channel Island's harbor and launch it.

Pretty stupid looking back. The thing had a plastic prop and a converted car battery for power. DANGER!

Oh we looked like idiots in that little boat too. We were on a lake one day and a couple guys actually cruised by and said "nice boat" laughing at us. I held up the basket full of fish and asked how they were doing, got quiet real fast. We were pretty good at bringing home a big batch of gills or crappies back then. Can hardly find my own ass fishing anymore.
