As much as people will throw shade at the tournament angler and his speed, the guide sitting still in the middle of the interstate on a foggy morning is just as responsible for not assuming something like that could happen. He isn't remotely responsible, would i have sat there with that going on? No but that said he bears zero responsibility

When in doubt, head to the shoreline, even doing that presents a risk. What a ridiculous statement.

No doubt the scum bag lawyers are already circling like sharks. It’s tough to run a business nowadays- always a target in your back. Right or wrong doesn’t matter they can break you defending yourself. Motor noise would have been everywhere- guy was hiding behind an island which one would assume is safer than the main channel. Any jury that finds him guilty is just as dirty as the lawyer that takes the case.

While I agree with your last statement, the family of the deceased maybe persuaded that they have no other choice but to seek restitution. I can visualize opening arguments, " would your client be alive today had you used caution and proceeded to shore instead of electing to remain in your position, yes or no?" As for now, prayers for all families involved and may lessons be learned in the future.

I feel bad for him and his family, but I feel worse for the people he killed due to a poor decision. Unfortunately he is going to have to pay a price for being negligent. Bad deal all the way around but totally avoidable. And if he's got a conscience this will haunt him for the rest of his life.

Both “professionals” could have easily prevented this. I would never run in the fog. I would never sit in the middle of the lake in the fog.

Yes we’d have to live in a bubble to avoid potentially calamity that we would have the opportunity to sue someone else for. Never fly again because planes have crashed- the list is a mile long. It’s why insurance is so expensive- and to quote Mr Kennedy- it’s why the label on shampoo bottle has a warning “do not eat”

Watch for insurance companies to look into what they are paying out for these avoidable accidents and lobby for some changes that will cost all of us in one way or another.
