That video was crazy! Don't know what that guy has for a boat, but I lost track of how many boats he passed.

Fun if 5-10 boats on a decent size area, but for the most part not a very good idea.

Great video Ranger1

Phoenix 721. Video is on BBC.

I run a small working man's T and had to go to the shotgun start because fishermen were starting early on fishing. With less than 10 boats, it works out okay, but if there were 20 boats, I would have to do flights. In small numbers and CORRECT BOATER KNOWLEDGE AND APPLICATION, they are not too bad, but getting everyone on the same page and not having a guy on the far side cutting across is the key. If I could trun them loose and let them fish at 6:30 and not before, I would, but we have had 3 complaints of winners fishing early, so I had to stop letting them go. So much for trusting all fishermen. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keepo safe and good luck.

Lol they had one at every ramp at raybob that year. It was scary stuff that morning.

I found my fingers getting tired from holding onto my phone so tightly while watching that video

My old Fishers of Men partner had a Bullet with a 250XB on it. We fished the 2009 South Central Regional on Palestine. We went out of the Lake Palestine Campground/Resort on the south end. There were 173 boats in the tournament and most of us were running north.

I can't tell you how many boats we passed along the way, so I guess you could say the number was countless. There's nothing quite like the feeling of sitting on the passenger side of a single console boat, with nothing in front of you and nothing to hold onto, bouncing side to side as you jump boat wakes going 85-90 mph. Exhilarating would be one way of putting it. Scary as **** would be another.

I also fished the 2005 Regional on the Red River. We ran 26 miles downstream at take-off. We were the third-to-last of 166 boats on day one, but #3 on day two. It was a blast and that video brings back fond memories.

Been in some wild ones over the years. Lucky to have lived thru a few of 'em to tell about them.
