We then tied the rest of the carcass

We then tied the rest of the carcass to a small rope and put a hook in the body and threw it off the stern of the boat as bait to catch a giant channel catfish. We continued floating through the evening and around sunset we crossed over a wing dike. We notice a buoy near by didn't look like it was moving past us. We figured we were for some reason stopped. We looked Plata back at the stern and noticed water rushing past the pontoons and water slowly rising toward the deck of the stern. Nate quickly jumped down from the roof and realized that the line with the catfish carcass had still been dragging behind us. Immediately Nate realized that the line had become caught in the wing dike. Without a second thought Nate took a fishing knife and cut the line free. Dave and Nate had seen this trick before and the last time it almost cost them their lives.
