Good story. The kid lost his cell phone,new shotgun, and his boat was capsized. The kid is a true hero. Acted out of instinct when he saw the situation. I hope my 16 year old boy would do the same.

I'm sure the kid will get a new shotgun, boat, and cell phone. I would donate money for it.

I just saw on the news that there a weg page to donate and a local gun club is helping out with a new gun. I think the donations are close to $2000 now.

They are still looking for the body of the missing mother of the 3 little kids that were rescued.

Boudreaux and Thibedeaux were out in the bayou alligator hunting one day.
And the governor drove by just in time to see them pull a yankee out of the bayou into the pereaux.
The governor said, I’m going to give you boys a citation. Y’all are heros for saving this yankee. We’ll take this guy up to the hospital and have him checked out.
As they were walking back to their pereaux, Thibedeaux said, did you hear that, “I’m a hero.”.
Boudreaux said, “well Mr. Hero, what are we going to do now. That governor just drove off with our bait.”

capsized his boat, too, sending his new shotgun and his cell phone to the bottom

Wow. That sure happens a lot. Many even on FR have experienced similar losses of shotguns, rifles and handguns. That's their story and they are sticking to it. Of course, most of them don't have the background story of rescuing kids out of the rushing water.
