That's just crazy. you put more trophys on the deck than anyone I know, Gary.
I was thinking the other day, if you have pics of the process, or even just showing us, the story of how your built your boat. I recall you had a paragraph or two on it back a-ways, but I think there's a lot more story there. Clearly, that's a tool built with a purpose thought out like no other, done and done well.

Yeah, tell us about the Buttmobile, or is it the Buttercraft?

The boat is truly a work of art. Gary told us the story and I hope he shares it with the rest of the members of the site. There will be a whole lot of typing. Dominick
I think we're going to need a bigger boat!
That is awesome Gary
Great photo Gary, thanks for posting, great memories well done, cheers Don.
Thanks for the kind words.... I,m just a regular guy that likes to go fishing , a lot.......I,m glad you folks can use the red cooler to break down barriers and ease the pain to see more pictures......... Luckily i,m no deprived of that!!!! And so lets go!

Sometimes it good to have an able bodied man aboard... The pik above is my neighbor Ken. He has two nice boats, butt would rather fish with me and get mine dirty! :D Hope you liked some of these. Everpicture tells a story!
That red cooler is a fishing legend...and so are you Gary. 8)
Did you notice? Blue cooler smaller fish,,,,,,Red cooler somewhat larger? Maybe this is part of Natural Selection? ???

after a long search I finally found an old beat up metal baitcooler on eBay! It should be here in a week or two, don't know how much if any mojo it has but I'm tired of storing my bait in my food cooler! And it sure can't hurt anything. It's not red though? Couldn't find a red one I liked.
