They were running to the Pecos. Hit the sand bar during the early morning. Had experience doing it during prior tourneys. This time it change and they didn't hit the channel correct. It's skinny water up there if you would try it. I know several who have and some get stuck. Not sure if he will get his boat back. Not just a Hanselman video they've done it several time prior but things change on this lake over night. Hopefully the cartel don't get the boat that is a dream for the cartel. Surely they didn’t attempt this for a bass club tournament???

TFL tournament. First thing in the morning and he decided to not try it and turn around. In the low light looking back towards the sun rise he thought it was water, but it was a silted in sand/muck bar.

He kept his foot in the throttle trying to make it across.

Equipment retrieved yesterday will attempt removal of boat on Friday. I'm suprised it's still there. Pretty sure there using airboats for this.

Let us know if they got it back, when you hear Mike. That had to be a solid 9.9/10.0 pucker factor!

Id make more fun of these guys....but instincts do make you hammer down! LOL I ran aground once and that was my first instinct!  He had to have had a Mercury to made it that far on dry land? 🤔😂

Wonder how much it will cost for the recovery (salvage) operation . No telling. I figure it will get very expensive. may have to wait for the water to come up. Not sure if they will have to pay for the helicopter ride or not. Good chance they will.

Depends on what type of coverage he has, if he even has insurance. Amazing how may don't.
