Went out caught a few then it just kept blowing harder and harder.i checked my phone and said whoa we better go in. Many many times I've been in crazy wind and waves but these were brutal and wicked.For the first time in 23 years of guiding and a lifetime on the water I was nervous. True 4-5 rollers and gusts that were insane. There was no way to ease through it...spearing waves and ocean style boat slamming as the waves would drop us. To try and take em at an angles was pure walls of water. We got SOAKED coming back in and it was some serious stuff! Mother Nature doesn't play and today she was in a bad bad mood. Ripped Tm wires out and threw stuff everywhere.Saw a couple small crafts out hope they are okay for real it was BAD.

Glad you made it safe. If you don't quit that stuff you will never be an old fart like me.

Yes sir,I been there before. Seen some low sided go fast bass boats stuck in the mess. Fast don't work. Deadliest Catch's song pops in your head when your out there. Glad your safe.

Been there. Usually only on texoma. Got out there in 4-6' rollers out by buncombe creek once. Ended up just having to hide behind the center console and just punch it, as long as you hit em straight on you'll survive it's those crossways waves that scare me.

Went out this morning on Belton lake to catch some shad ,wasnt bad at 4:00 am then the sun came up and so did the wind , headed back in at 11:30 am wind guest up to 33mph .My trolling motor on spot lock wouldnt hold us in place ! It was bad , got soaked tooo from head to toe. I hope its better next weekend , good luck fishing.

Gusts to 47 here according to airport

That's some bad stuff. I got in some four footers on Twok and it was not pleasant. There was a little 17' bass boat trying to make it in and he was not doing real well. I hung around until he got to the ramp and watched him, and he pulled up and both bilge pumps were pumping water out for a long while.

Glad you made it in safe! Sounds wicked!

We had wind today to 42 at Tawakoni area.

There are a lot of old captains and there are a lot of bold captains but very few old bold captains.

About 50 yrs. ago my mother and dad were out in a 14' Lone Star with a 7 1/2. They got caught in a storm out of Big Mineral. They made it to the Oklahoma side pulled the boat out of the water and turned it over so they could get under it. It was the next day before they could get back across the lake. The guy at the marina told Daddy they had been looking for some people. Daddy asked why he wasn't looking for them. The guy told him that he wasn't worried about him, he was worried about the people out of Dallas. My Dad never got on that lake again if the wind was blowing.

Glad you mad it back safe. You are one of the saltyiest guys around and when you say it was bad, OMG

Glad everyone is safe to fight and fish another day

Been there done that. Never again lol

Brutal day to be on a lake for sure. First thought was wonder if Chris is out, glad you came in.
I remember one stormy day you said:
"we can stay here, catch more fish and die, or head in and fish again another day"
We just made it to the dock when the deluge let loose.

Chris, I hear ya. We ran into the same thing today. 15 - 25 mph winds. Hard to fish in that kind of wind for sure.
