I agree that ole Greg is an idiot....glad he didnt run up on those in the filiming boat and endangered someone other than himself. But on a positive note - the trolling motor bracket on his boat did a good job of holding in place.

I give Greg an 8.5 on the sideways flip, but he didnt stick the landing so i have to deduct a couple pts.

Yeah that video pisses me off. Thanks for the hot safety tips about life jackets and everything but I think someone needs to take Greg out and show him how to not drive like a complete A-hole!!

I think that life jacket just got in the way of natural selection...and we all might be a little less safe because of it. :roll:

Funeral director? :mrgreen:

Seriously tho, I encounter so many of these "gofast fishermen" it ain't even funny. There are a couple of areas on my river where the fishing is good, and there will be about a dozen of these skeeter bass boats and a few Lunds just roaring from place to place with no regard for other boaters, floaters, and cruisers. And when the sun starts setting don't even think of going to the ramps, these idjits have it clogged, trying to jam their boats on trailers that are barely 3 feet in the water. Geez.... :roll:

I agree. The fact that he survived and the boat didn't sink has me thinking the same thing. This idiot and his boat are still out there on the water someplace!

I'm in total agreement about the idiots in bass boats. I, or no other boater I know has any respect for them. I can't tell you how many times they've almost hit me in a tight channel cuz they're fiddling with their lures and not paying attention. I'm an avid fisherman, but I can't figure out what makes these guys tick :roll:

Personally, on our lake, bass boaters are the most knowledgeable and careful of all the boaters. This guy is just an idiot and probably doesn't even fish. The ones to look out for are the renters who go around a tight bend on your starboard side while pulling a tube. :shock:

I don't think its an indictment of bass boaters....just that guy who happened to be in a bass boat. I love bass fishing and have a bass boat, but it doesn't run fast enough to break wind much les catch air....and I assure you my fishing rig has seen ten times the fish that greggie boy has seen.

The title says it all, this idiot did have it comming. I thought he was going to hit a post, even on the calm water on his straight line top end passes he was sawing on the wheel like a NASCAR driver at Daytona with an ill handling car...luckily he didn't have a boat load of people onboard.

I find it funny they say "out of nowhere at 70 mph"..... at that speed isn't anything "out of nowhere" ??????
