Bass team gets thrown from boat.

Wow. Good to see the tether cord and self deploying life vests doing what their supposed to do.
Maybe a pair of full face helmets are in order?
 
Didn't look like that big of a wake, but this is why I always wear my PFD with the kill switch tether attached....
 
I think when you are up on the pad, it doesn't take much to upset the balance on Bass boats and other smaller boats.
 
Well, here's my opinion about bass fisherman
phuck em
Glad they're ok but they hate us powerboaters as much as we hate them
They fly by on their fast boats but I guess we're different
They think they own the lake and the boat ramps
I can't tell you how many times the wife and I are enjoying a nice calm bay and these aholes come by with full wake.
There, I said it
phuck em

As a owner of both powerboats and bassboats, I respect both sides. In the checkmate I'm on the oppsite of the guys fishing, most of the time I slow down and idle by. In my ranger basser same thing try to stay on opposite side. Not all bassers are bad, the worse ones are the wakeboarders. Bass boats don't have much of a wake if any at WOT. :poke:
 
Agree, Not all bass boaters are the same
We used to live on a lake and majority were in a hurry to catch fish and didn't abide by the no wake areas
They make a wake as big as a wake board boat and don't seem to care
They come by us within 20 to 30 feet with a wake that we're grabbing our drinks
I can't imagine if we did the same while they're fishing
