Last year I bought a new cooler in Perry on the way to Keaton Beach. Its the big blue ones they sell for about $55. Got to Keaton, bought some ice, jumped in the boat to put ice in cooler, no cooler?! That morning the tide was so low they were not putting anyone in on the lift so I had some time to kill. Uturned the truck and boat and headed back to Perry. Got back to the main highway out of Perry, and found my cooler on the side of the road, lid was now a removable lid and the cooler had some road rash. Loaded it back on the boat, with ice and other heavy things inside to hold it down. Lashed the lid down with some bungee straps and went fishing. Good to go. Got home and ordered new hinges and installed them with new screws and JBWeld and 3M 5200. Now the lid is stronger than original and have used it with no problems.

I wish I was lucky enough to turn around and hunt my cooler down and wish I only paid 55 bucks for it too my feelings probably wouldn't be as hurt, at least it wasn't my yeti I would have sheaded a tear on that lost

yeah that was a grown spanish, i wasn't even paying attention just talking to my buddy in the boat when he hit, bout lost that rod&reel from how hard he hit! we didn't mean to keep the pin fish the girlfriend caught him and i figure we could use it for bait and i forgot all about it until we got back to the house. figure we'd add the little guy to the finial catch instead of wasting him

Just be happy he didn't get forgotten and "marinate" for a couple of weeks in your livewell. Been there

yeah I'm glad that didn't happen, left cigar minnows in my live well before mid summer on my last boat. the next day i was gagging trying to clean that out! never again!
