Was standing on my dock at Lake Fork today when Mark Daniels jr. came flying by doing at least 60mph about 30' feet from me wide open... The boat lane is probably 300 yards from our stretch of docks and this area is incredibly dense with timber I have no idea how he made it through this area without tearing up his lower unit. I can barley use the trolling motor in this area with out hitting a stump 6" below the water or getting the boat hung up. I highly doubt he used a boat lane the entire time on fork. Crazy, I guess those are the perks of having a back up boat on stand bye...
THANKS & GIG"EM

I watched him running around up in oil well today on live and was cringing the whole time.

My dock is on Oil Well Bay, and the only reason I was standing on the dock and not out fishing or watching the MLF guys was I railed a stump getting on plane near the boat lane last week!. This will be the second lower unit this year... and probably not the last...

If you don’t hit it the stump isn’t there! The service team could have a complete new lower unit on the boat for him within 30 minutes of hitting a stump and making the call. Why not drive it like you stole it, doesn’t cost them any money or downtime.

95 percent of them have a moto. They don’t see it then it’s not there..... I tend to do the same in certain areas now on local lakes.

I’m telling you right now. I know that lake pretty well to run it. But these guys were running in places where they are lucky to be alive. And after seeing some of them come in and out of areas we were fishing.....all I can say is I’d never ever buy one of their boats from them. They just flat out run over everything. Lol.

His motor & power poles were working so I am guessing it was his TM.

Was it a Nitro, I watched live and he said was gonna take a chance at one point, it was a loaner boat he had trolling motor battery issues on his Ranger.

He was in his ranger when he flew past my dock, he was already taking way to big of a chance when he was running in the ranger... I can't imagine what he was gonna try and run in the loaner nitro. That area up in oil way bay is only 3-4' deep and has some nasty old live oak stumps just under the water that would definitely destroy a transom and or seriously injury you if you hit them running wide open like he was

I think his quote on live with 5 minutes to go was hold on things about to get sketchy right before he put it on plane
