On a normal night I get atleast 20 mullet jump in my boat, and it is less than 20 miles round trip.

A buddy of mine took me fishing out of Cocodrie one night in his bass tracker. We were on our way back to the launch running about 55mph and a large mullet jumps right in front of us. It shattered the plexiglass in his console then knocked him cold, as a dead fish if you will. I had to grab the wheel and throttle back and he was out laying in the floor bleeding like a stuck pig. I had never seen anything like that before and hope to never be first party in it either.
