Gary and Greg Cherry were rescued after their boat dangled over the edge of a dam for three hours. The brothers were fishing in Barren Fork Creek in McMinnville when the motor on their fishing boat stalled. The swift current carried them to the edge of the dam. The boat motor wedged on the edge of the dam and rescue crews used ropes to tie the boat to a railroad bridge. The Cherry's say it was a frightening ordeal but they plan to fish again soon, after they replace the motor on their boat.
