Do Not Mess With Fish 187,

and you thought fish were fun!

Greg and Gary Cherry did not when the motor of their boat went on strike at the edge of the Barren Fork River Dam in Pepper Branch Park, McMinnville, Tennessee, the motor on their 33-year-old boat hadn't given them trouble in the past, but wore out on a day when the current was strong and the water temperature was a cool 48 degrees,

Greg and Gary Cherry were fishing for bass and perch on their weekly outing when the trouble occurred, for 3 hours the brothers held on to the boat before being rescued, a bystander saw the fishermen and asked if they needed help, He called 911 and rescue crews from Warren and White counties and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency arrived on the scene, after the rescue in the true spirit of dedicated fishermen they do not plan on missing time away from the water, Greg Cherry said he already has plans to go fishing next week. 'fishing for me and my brother is a way of life,' Greg Cherry said, great that they will continue to fish and a round of thanks to the rescue crews.
