Anybody know what happened at the Bowman Springs ramp today? Neighbor said lots of police cars and helicopter around the lake today.

An elderly man fell out of his boat.Fortunately for him,someone saw him do it I guess from the bank or a house,and called for help.The news showed the old man freezing but ok.

Good to hear he will be okay

Thanks for the info. blooper. Really glad he is ok and someone saw him fall out!

A good person saw him fall in and went to the get him in their pontoon boat. Some people do the right thing no matter what...and without fame for themselves. I like that lots.

these old timers need to pair up or triple up.......old man backed his car and boat trailer into GVine a few months back and drowned......AFTER launching/tieing his boat up to the dock....

As one of the old coots I could not agree more. I simply cannot do things like launching and picking up the boat as well as I could 30 years ago. That said, it is very hard to find a suitable fishing friend. They keep getting old and disabled or dying off.

Mr Smithaven,
You keep on fishing, My Friend!

My 80 year old dad fell outta my boat last year on the ramp at Moss lake. I heard him hit the concrete and it scared the heck outta me. He was ok but it made me stop and think about the things i expect him to do
