This is the 1972 Sears 14 foot Gamefisher I got from Chris after he left San Angelo to move back home. I restored it into a duck hunting machine. I installed my own 20 hp 1990 mercury outboard.

Twin Buttes Reservoir south pool Largemouth Bass. Caught many Blue Catfish, Largemouths, Crappie, Gar, and White Bass. lost a monster Gar once after it circled around the boat a few times and then broke the line.

Rare Texas Cinnamon Teal shot on last day of last hour of season. Only one in three years.
I sold this boat before moving to Colorado as we have no close lakes and moved in the winter. In Texas I lived across the street from one reservoir and only a few miles from where I would fish and duck hunt.
