My wife is an experienced diver but can't dive right now because she is pregnant. I'm sure she would love to be a part of this. I have a chainsaw. I think it would be a very cool adventure.

Yep found it with the Lunker Lodge Fish Cam.  I didnt get any video as the Recorder was dead but I did get a still from the monitor.

Date and time when you plan on pulling it up out of the deep. If I can would like to join you for a adventure. With complications I'm not going to commit to anything, but if life lets me join you, I'm in. Keep us informed.

I am sure I had that fish on a couple of times. Finally we get some structure at KH and Lightning wants it.  It looks old by the prop, it will make a cool novelty piece for display in front of the bait shop.

Looks to me like you could probably hook it somewhere with a hook and rope and haul it up without having to divers!

Exactly!  With the camera shouldnt be hard at all to hook that bit!

looks like a old johnson, with a long shaft. Has that distinct johnson curve to the motor cover, i could be wrong though. Pictures are deceiving

That is just too cool! Sure does make you wonder about the story behind its final resting place in Davy Jones' locker.
One time I sent the camera down and located an object. I stared at the object for a good fifteen minutes before I figured out it was the body to a goose decoy. You just never know what you are going to find on the bottom of the lake.
On another note, when was keyhole built?
