I had not even ran the thought of the mouse through my head. Thanks for the visual. I set out a trap and got the little bugger for eating into my waders. Now I'll have to think of it as a mercy killing.
Thanks again for the help. You're writing has almost got me convinced to purchase another personal floater. I've had a few different tubes, the last one was a bucks bag probably made 8 or 9 years ago. I just gave it away last summer because I had bought another craft. Both of my biggest Smallmouth, a lot of Walleye, and a fair share of trout were caught from that tube.
I know the technology has improved greatly. That rat of yours looks like a nice way to travel.
I bought a Bucks Bags - South Bend pontoon two years ago and loved it. I decided to go that way since I live near the Green River in Utah. You can only take white water certified craft down the river. I had a blast in the kick boat everywhere I went except one. I got caught in a wind storm on Starvation. I had rowed out about 1/4 mile and couldn't get back. Those things float so high on the water, you can't steer them in a breeze. I also noticed that fish don't mind tubes, they notice pontoons. They didn't scatter like when I'm in my boat, but they were a lot more shy to bite. I ended up selling the pontoon because I didn't have anyone to go with me. None of the people I fish with had or could afford a kick boat. My kids miss it as much as I do.
