Dude - we had three battleships (jon boats) on a crappie fishing expedition back in the 90's on Reelfoot. Each battleship was manned by two sailors (fihsermen) and equipped with a 4ft. long, 3 inch diameter Cannon (potato gun) with an 8 in diameter X 10 inch aerosol propellent chamber and electric igniter.

I've been in "shots fired" situations at work that never scared me as bad as that day on the water.

After a few beers that eveing the battle commenced into a ground offensive......the sign was merely a casualty of war.
