Family coming after FLW over Safety issues for one and the driver over possible reckless conduct for another. Every tragedy comes under legal scrutiny at some point. Two people just enjoying what they are doing won't cut it. This is a large part of what is wrong with our country these days. Everyone wants to sue for something. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Legal action never even crossed my mind. Fouzman I agree 100% with you on this!

This thread should of stayed on course. It should of been a tribute to the deceased angler. Then his family could have read the condolences. Another thread should have been started on ways to prevent this from happening. Instead this post had people arguing, and people making assumptions. There's a place and time for everything. Prayers continued for his family.

Very tragic ending for all involved indeed (family and friends). Prayers to all involved. But with all the bickering about what is right or wrong on the water it has made an incredible bunch of people really take a hard look at what they do on the water and that in such a tragic event is a good thing if there is a good thing to come out of this. What is so tragic is that a man lost his life but actually opened a lot of eyes to how many anglers are approaching tournament's, safety, or just being on the water in general in a different way. This thread has had a lot of difference of opinions but the main thing that the families can look at and take away from this is believe it or not this will probably save another anglers life. That in itself is a positive outlook on such a bad situation.

It will not bring their loved one back but it will sure help down the road.

Don't know what really happened. All I can say is that it is unsafe for the co-angler to not have something in front of them, to either protect them from being hit by oncoming water or to really hold onto in rough water. I would hope that in the future a requirement gets put in place to require the second console during the co-angler portion of these type of tournaments. Prayers out to every one involved. There are a lot lives that will be changed forever over this.
It will be interesting to see what legal action is going to come out of this. Wonder if seats belts would have helped. Don't know about any legal action. I think they have addressed that when you sign up to fish with them. I'm thinking heads with both BASS and FLW are contemplating changes at this very moment. Should gets some comments about it soon. Seat belts in a boat is ignorant. I don't want to be belted into a capsized boat Boat that the guy was killed in didn't capsize and whether or not seat belts or ignorant is strictly your opinion. More cars and trucks capsize than boats and they have seat belts. Like to be in an upside down car that was on fire with your seat belt on ? Report said the guy was thrown from the boat, the boat was upright. Aggies

It will be interesting to see what legal action is going to come out of this. You cant require someone to purchase an option for their boat just because they are going to have a co angler. This was an accident. And no matter what you do or how much you try you can never eliminate accidents. This is life people. Unfortunately bad things happen. Do you really want more and more regulations? The government would love nothing more to impose more sanctions on our lives. At some point humans need to take responsibility for their own actions. This was an accident. Thats all it was. Was it a bad judgement call? Who am I to answer that. This whole debate about trailering and dual consoles and all that is crazy. At some point the only rule we need to follow is common sense. Agree

Part of the problem with today's world is legal action can come out of just about anything. It's a sign of the times. Sickening.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Been following this on the FLW and TFF since this 1st happened not the out come me or I'm sure many were hoping for. This is not the time for what if's and such this should be a time we send prayers up for the family and friend of all involved. I can not imagine how the boater feels right now but I do know he needs a our prayers to help him with this right now, I don't know if this is anything you ever get over I imagine not. And to Nik's family and friend we need to lift prayers for their healing right now, they have to be heart broken and wondering what went wrong. Nik I didn't know you but we both enjoy the same thing's fishing and the outdoors, my brother I pray that you RIP Sir
