Unpacking tackle and transferring it from truck to boat was the first order of business for the Top 12. Jason Christie was the exception.
Christie parked his Toyota Tundra, opened the tailgate and pulled out a prop.
“It’s time to go Lake Erie on it,” he said, while adding torque to a prop wrench.
Christie switched to a 28-pitch prop to his Mercury outboard. The bigger prop gives the motor more bite for better boat control in the rough water.
“I meant to change it last night,” he added.
Yesterday Christie struck a wave so hard that it briefly knocked the wind out of him.
