Bass Boat Crash
I suppose he would ...
I suppose he would have been much better off wearing a helmet, too. OUCH! Hi Joni!
I would like to ...
I would like to know also. Was there any damage to the boat?
If you do tourney's ...
If you do tourney's you want to have a good 'hole shot' when you're taking off and top end when your going from spot to spot. It can mean the difference between winning and losing if you're a good fishermen. Bass are fickle little bastards. And these $50k bass boats are engineered extremely well, and almost impossible to sink, even with a hole in the hull, but still takes a damn good driver to control a 250cc Merc in rough waters.
Maybe the fish are ...
Maybe the fish are just-that-big haha

Όποιος κάνει τον μάγκα αυτά παθαίνει . Γιατί αυτοί είναι μαλάκες.
And a fishing boat ...
And a fishing boat needs to be this fast because, why? Really. How fast are the fish man?
Let me guess. ...
Let me guess. Lawsuits against the boat company, guy that made the boat wake, photographer (when the camera is on you do stupid stuff) and maybe the state for not posting a lower speed limit?? America and ambulance chasers, gotta love it.
This is why you ...
This is why you trim down in waves

it gives me chill to watch this video i witness the same type of accident in july of 2001 lost my dad in a speed boat accident the boat was a Phazar Doral 23 with a 454 merc with a blower
If your motor ...
If your motor wasn't up so much. This wouldn't have happened. Trust me. i learned that myself!
You my friend are a ...
You my friend are a major reason why bass boats and bass fishing is frowned upon in alot of areas. This makes the whole BASS fishing community look like idiots. Glad you are ok, and like anything in life, its a hard lesson learned. Glad you survived. I've done similiar stuff and am lucky to be watching this video. Get well soon. Best regards.
wow, im so glad the ...
wow, im so glad the boat is okay. and the guy of course
was the boat ok?
was the boat ok?
Always wear your ...
Always wear your kill switch and life jacket! Not to be negative but this guy needs to learn to drive a bass boat!In his 1st few passes the boat was chine walking very bad which is a sign of being on the verge of out of control,an experienced driver knows how to prevent the boat from chine walking.Second mistake is crossing wakes at full speed and not trimming the motor down.Glad he is OK,and hope he learned a few lessons from that.
This is Ross ...
This is Ross Barnett in Brandon, Mississippi.
Was this in Lake ...
Was this in Lake Houston? I live on this lake and the 1960 crossing looks simular to that in the video. Just curious. --Rob USMC
Are you for real?? ...
Are you for real?? A bass boat at 70mph jumping waves... who was driving then??
man this makes me ...
man this makes me think twice about crossing wakes at high speeds in my bass boat! their is def. to much motor for this boat. what kinda boat is it? and does it have the merc 2.5 on it?
damn makes me think ...
damn makes me think twice about crossing a wake with my bass boat. im glad the guys ok. what kinda boat is it?
What kind of boat. ...
What kind of boat...allison?
What you don't see ...
What you don't see is that this happened at the end of a long day of wake crossing. This was not the first time to cross the wakes, just the last time!!
This Thursday 8-28- ...
This Thursday 8-28-09 this boat crash will be on tru-tv. A show called worlds wildest vacations will have this video with interviews.
I am glad the ...
I am glad the gentleman is o.k and that no other folks were injured. It is a learning experience but not about kill switches and lifejackets (those are golden). The lesson is to respect your high performance boat and others on the water. Intentional wake crossing (not jumping) should be calculated......no more excuses for your friend.....now go ahead and delete my entry.
Holy squid Batman ...
Holy squid Batman what a crash! I am glad he is OK. WOW !
a kill switch is ...
a kill switch is connected to a small lanierd clipped to your wrist or life vest that shuts the motor off if its pulled off the dashboard. so this way if the throttle was open the boat wouldnt have just keep driving by itself,
