I was recently in a shot gun start and I told my co angler that had never been in one to hold on and pray. Shot gun starts should be outlaw'd. Its the main reason I stopped doing the working man tourneys.

Let me clarify. Wasn't a shotgun start but all anglers were allowed to leave at 7 so it felt like it. I got to my first fishing spot and could barely stop shaking. Adrenaline rush!!!!

It's wasn't that bad once we got past all the carnage!! But that guy did get blasted by the rooster tail!! The only way he is dry is after he took a shower and dries off it looked that bad!!! If Barrett wasn't screaming the whole way I would've never seen it!!!
I RIP LIPS!!!

I've only been in one, a 20 boat Thursday nighter, and there was a definite pucker factor. Can't imagine 100. Sounds bat carp crazy.

Should see the start of the harvest moon regatta. 250-300 sailboats all trying to cross the same line at the same second. Ive seen a 200k boat whack a 500k boat.

Like I tell my trainers. If you don't like being in the back, get a faster horse.

We were in it and seen it coming! What a cluster. I'm surprised nobody slapped boats.
