I agree its dangerous if someone is loading or unloading...i didn't say it wouldn't.


I doubt he's clueless of the law just having fun doing something a little risky. Same reason almost all of us did donuts in our vehicles when we got a license.

No I'm not a *#@! sox fan. Sadly I'm a rangers fan! Can you say no PITCHING!

I think gotteem needs a hug, or a little anger managment.

I see this happen all the time in the no wake zones. Nothing happens to them. I guess the laws have better things to do that maintain safety on the water.

Typical Grapevine... Happens all the time and there is NO ENFORCEMENT on the lake. The Game Wardens are more interested in picking on the fisherman than they are keeping the lake safe. On any givin weekend they could write 100 tickets a day easily! I have seen the woman warden watch people doing donuts on jet skis by the ramp in Twin, she just kept going to the next boat that was fishing and proceeded to do a boat check...

For all the responses like this one, I have your answer (and Corey, I'm not being mean to you - yours was just the last post).

At the speeds these knuckleheads fly, do you think they can see a swimmer in the water? How does the jetskier KNOW that there isn't someone playing in the water? I've seen way too many jetskis & stupid boats come roaring within just a few feet of swimmers at various lakes. Every now & again we get to see six o'clock news of a swimmer who was hit & killed by one of these inconsiderate fools. The boaters answer is usually something like 'I never saw her/him'. No kidding ...

No wake areas are just that - no wake. They aren't 'no wake unless you think nobody else is around'. Give me a break. Do you think it's ok to go 60mph in a residential subdivision just because you don't see anyone else around? This is about respecting other people & their safety. If someone on a jetski wants to kill themself out in open water, more power to them. If they want to smash my boat against the dock with their wake while I'm getting my truck parked ... I don't think so. If they want to risk the life of someone who is swimming just so they can hotdog in a no wake zone ... wrong answer.

Man I'm telling you. He has a s much right as you to the water. no FISHING (you) No WAKE (him). Who really cares about your size actually sound a little on the small side to me. Sometimes I think us fisherman think we own the water, I enjoy watching the wakeboarders do there stunts! All in all CALM down. oh and EVERYONE can be knocked out by someone!!!!

WHATEVER! take a toke and relax! Man I see plenty of 70+mph bass rigs flying across the water close to banks, and ski boats with skiers in the water??????? Can we see people swimming off the bank? See a skier in the water?

'whatever'

This is a word used by children & teenagers who do not have a cogent thought process to address a discussion. 'Whatever' does not cover the damage that a similar jerk (similiar to that jetskier) did to my boat earlier this year, and 'whatever' does not bring back the lives of people who have been killed by such idiots.

'Nuff said by me.

Yesterday afternoon I raced a jetflea. I was at the Slimestone Marina buying a drink and these guys pull up with brand new jet skis! When I was getting in my boat one of them asked how fast my boat was and I jokeingly(sp) said "I'm not sure...do you want to race?" The guy laughed and said "I don't think it would be much of a race...these things will run over 70mph!" I said "Damn! that's fast!" and I went on about my buisiness knowing that they would want to show off for me. I headed up the lake towards the bridge and they came up next to me, I was running about 55 mph, they had thier heads down trying to be streamlined and I could tell they were giving it all. They slowly eased by me and I let them get about 100 yards in front of me before I layed the hammer down and screamed past them at 85. It was great!

Nanny nanny booboo!! Sorry about your boat! I didn't see any boats or swimmers in the water there???? We are talking about this guy in the pic, not ones who killed people or damaged boats. Anyways sounds like you are just bitter cause your boat got damaged. I'm not a child or a teenager!

Kinda of sounds like your convicting me for killing people in the water on my imaginary jet ski, by saying whatever doesn't bring back the lives of people who have died?

Great I love being amazing. I just don't see the guy causing anyone harm. I am not defending him, just not persecuting him. I've seen much worse by bass fisherman. I mean my god did you really have that much time on your hands, to take pictures of this guy, download them, upload to photobucket, and then post on the tff? Hasbeen it shouldn't amaze you that me and you don't see eye to eye we never have!
