Swindle running and gunning

You've got to be in a hurry to get the big motor shut down, take off a life jacket and get to the bow-mounted trolling motor before the boat settles on the water.

You've got to be in a hurry to get the big motor shut down, take off a life jacket and get to the bow-mounted trolling motor before the boat settles on the water. But that's exactly what Gerald Swindle did in this photo captured by James Overstreet today.

 
About two minutes later, Swindle was reeling in a keeper. About five minutes after that, he went flying out of this area to another spot.
 
That running-and-gunning style appears to be working for him. Swindle moved up in the standings Saturday, and it looks like he's having another good day.
