A Minnesota couple got WAY more than what they had planned for while launching their boat into Lake Minnetonka about a week ago.

I understand that sometimes it can be challenging to back your boat and trailer into the lake, without totally submerging your trailer, unhook the boat, then drive back up, park your truck and trailer and then go on your way out on the lake.  Spend the day fishing, or doing whatever you'd like to do on the lake.  Maybe just tooling around and enjoying nature.

One thing that most people don't count on is not only launching the boat, but also submerging the trailer... AND your truck/SUV!!  That didn't go as planned.

The Minnesota DNR reported that on September 30th this situation happened on Lake Minnetonka.  I guess they were purifying themselves in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?  (Prince reference).

Turns out that the owner of the vehicle failed to put it in park before getting out of his vehicle.  So, it just rolled rignt down into the lake.

Luckily they did get everything towed out of the lake...and even had a little fish on the floorboard.  Easy fishing?

If you are heading out onto the lake, just make sure you put your vehcile in park before getting out to launch your boat.  I can't imagine the clean up after pulling it out of the lake.  Yikes!
