I would never call you stupid, I'm sure you learned from this and thats what matters. Unfortunatly the price for tuition was expensive.

When I was perch fishing Sat I seen a bunch of boats tieing their anchors off the stern as well.
Wasn't there some football players that tied off the stern and swamped their boat off FLA a while back? I seem to remember a story about one or two of the guys clinging to the capsized boat for days.
