Mike, I was chasing it the whole time, so don't be too impressed. I had been in the boat 5 minutes, and it was the first time I had been there. I was there with 3 friends who had been there before, and one was just sitting there in that huge eddy to the right (river left) of the hole doing nothing in a Genesis, and grinning like a cheshire cat.
I looked at Scott (one of his boats I was on), and asked quietly WTF is he grinning about...he's not doing anything. I looked at the hole for a minute, saw where I could get in and figured why not. I didn't ride for 2 hours for nothing. I told him to keep an eye on me, and I slid in the hole. At the water level at that point, there wasn't a lot of room in there and water would pour on top of the deck plate and squirt you back and kick you around pretty hard, then suck you back in... it was like riding a bull It was my best ride of the day, and I took several cracks at it. I guess I already mentioned, but it's a good thing I'm not bothered too much by a swim.
