Jerry Rapp Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 he should have upgraded his GPS unit. Or called a UBER boat to take him home.
MOPanfisher Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Well at least they can inspect it without getting their feet wet. I am gonna guess that the lights on that sign behind the boat were not working that night. Probably ought to sue them for that.

WeekendWarrior Posted August 29, 2016 Author Posted August 29, 2016 Must have been moving pretty good and got some airtime cause both lower units still attached, big rocks acted like a ramp I guess or I would think they would have ripped off or came to an abrupt stop.
fishinwrench Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 He probably rode a cruiser wake right up on there. They were still out running at 2:30-3:00am because I could hear them when I woke up to pee.
Old plug Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 They have had a couple of boats wind up on the golf green near the toll bridge a couple times. And if You recall wrench there was a guy in the old bass in bandits ran into that island there at the mouth of buck creek going full blast in a bass boat and full of beer at night. In that later case it amazes me they were not both killed. You remember that.
Flysmallie Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 I thought there was a speed limit at night? Guess that doesn't matter on $$LOZ$$

Can't see what the other side looks like, but doesn't look to be too damaged, so must have road a big wave.
