Just read on the live Blog that anglers were permitted to trailer to the ramp of their choice to avoid long runs. Winds are supposed to gust up to 30mph on the Big O, today. Hats off to MLF for keeping safety in mind. Better to trailer than cancel a day. Maybe BASS will wake up and try this next time they're met with tough conditions. FLW cancelled their day today on the harris chain. Please, comment on that. It isn't just BASS. Who owns FLW? I forget.

He said the other boat, a 20-foot Triton, was occupied by an older couple, perhaps in their mid-70s.
"I was so shook up that it took me a minute before I could say anything. Their response was really weird – I know it was a mistake, but they never even apologized. They could've easily killed me or broke me up, but it didn't seem to faze them at all. I told them I didn't know what to do other than call the cops, so the next 5 hours was all about filling out reports and whatnot."
Wow!  When some people get older they lose thier perception of what goes on around them.  I wonder how old Big O is and if he fishes out of a Triton...

For a man who used too take so many pictures and attend BASS events, you sure have changed your tune since they all went to the BPT.

pros are really struggling on Big O today...always heard that when cold front comes through south florida,you better off going to Disney world than trying to catch a fish...
4-5 years ago 4 of us were fishing big O when cold front came through...next two days we had one bite between us and oddly enough, it was an 8lb bass....

Trailering for this tournament has nothing to do with this accident... True. But neither does the thread title. Just read on the live Blog that anglers were permitted to trailer to the ramp of their choice to avoid long runs. Winds are supposed to gust up to 30mph on the Big O, today. Hats off to MLF for keeping safety in mind. Better to trailer than cancel a day. Maybe BASS will wake up and try this next time they're met with tough conditions. I always wondered why BASS never considers this. I understand that some bodies of water it may not be possible but most certainly have enough ramps in good locations to make it work. BASS made the right call on St. Johns as did the FLW Tour today on Harris Chain!  If Okeechobee was a deeper lake I bet the MLF would have cancelled today as well.
