Re: Skunked, and an Important Message
I stepped on some leaves up on the musky near Bloomsbury on a solo trout mission and sunk up to just above my stomach. Once I stopped sinking, I looked around to assess the situation and realized my rod butt caught a log on the way down which helped stop me from sinking further. I used my trout rod and that log to wiggle free a bit and slowly made it to my stomach to spread out my weight some. Fortunately for me I only weigh 160. If I was heavier the situation could've been a lot worse. Took me about 15 mins to get out and another 15 washing the mud off my waders and the newly created mess inside my waders (kidding!). Scary stuff nonetheless...
Glad you avoided disaster...
