It took three men to pull in the biggest "herring" caught on Table Rock Lake. Jason, Lance, and Joe struggled to pull in the 6 foot 3 inch, 200+ pound "fish", aka Tom Herring!(story behind the photos...)
Tom works for Rick's Boatlifts in Kimberling City. This spring they have been busy replacing the styrofoam under the dock at Indian Point Marina
on Table Rock Lake. The new law requires "encapsulated tubs" to be used in place of the styrofoam. They have to stand on the tubs and balance themselves while moving them under the metal supports. Tricky manuever! Sometimes, the tubs slip under faster than you can react! I happened to be at the marina trying out my new camera and watching the guys remove the styrofoam. All of a sudden Tom slips into the lake in "water skiing" position...I started taking these pictures as his co-workers rescued him! Thank goodness they were all working at the same marina that day!
