I just don’t understand situations like that. How in the world can they not see what’s right in front of them. I’m always in fear when I’m out in my Kayak. I was fishing the bridge pylons one Saturday when all these Yahoos, fishing in a bass tourney, kept flying past me under the bridge doing 60mph to get to weigh-in. I don’t fish Saturdays or Sundays any more. Ugh! ! !
So glad y’all are alright.

Those big screen TVs mounted on the front, 12" units, block a lot of water when you're sitting low in a bass boat. See too many people riding with front seat in place and sonar unit standing straight up.

There are no legitimate excuses for that ! If one does not know his/her limits, adjust or have someone else drive . That kind of stupidity is not limited to a " 12 inch screen and double boat seats "

I know hindsight is always 20/20 but don`t you think having an AIR HORN onboard may have made a difference here?I always keep one on my boat & fortunately I haven`t had to use it ,but it`s better to have and not need then to need and not have.

I remember sitting on a brushpile at Texoma before lines in at a CAT event years ago and talking about what looked like a log or something floating across the lake. No lights and couldn’t see anybody moving in it. Not long after a bass boat blazing by ran it over. You could tell it was a kayak from the sound of the impact. The boat stopped and circled around and took off!! We went over there but didn’t see anybody or anything in fhe water. I think it just floated off of a dock somewhere and was drifting across the lake. Was scary to think somebody could have been paddling across the lake and got run over in the dark.

Ohhhhhhhh Nooooooooo. I’d be scared silly to go out at nite in my Yak. I remember going out on Joe pool Lake one Night during a new moon to fish a BP with my secret weapon green fishing light and almost hit a couple engaged in a sexual act on a Sail boat that had NO LIGHTS ON AT ALL!! Lucky for us I had pretty good night vision as a younger man & I wasn`t heavy on my screw because I don`t get on plane at night going across any lake. I just happened to see the silhouette of the sail against the Night sky& began to idle towards the boat and threw my flood lite towards it`s deck just in time to see them dressing at which time I gave them a few words and continued on my way!! Some people don`t need to be on a lake

Holy Smokes!!! All involved were very lucky. I still don't understand how they didn't see y'all. Especially, with that T-top sticking in the air.
Columbus took a chance and he made it.
