If you fish, you gotta go where the fish are biting. In this case, that would be the Chickamauga Dam in Chattanooga TN,
Around 6pm on Saturday, 3 guys took a boat to the dam where the fish were biting. A couple of problems here:
- Fishing in this area is illegal
- It is dangerous
If you know anything about dams, usually, they power electric turbines.
This is where it all went wrong. As the 3 were fishing, they realized their boat was being sucked into the locks and the men fishing were caught and this required the help of the Chattanooga Fire Department after the water flow was cut off.
Thankfully, no one was injured, but this isn’t the first time this has happened. According the Fire Chief, this is his 6th rescue at the same location for the same issue.
At some point that Fire Chief will be calling it the damn dam.
