How my OAF hat saved my life.

[dan hufferd]

I guess I am still allowed to wear the OAF hat ? I have one left, I hope I don't have to turn it in.

Anyway I hope no one does what I did and really gets hurt or injures someone else.

Be careful internet friends God bless

I appreciate you stepping up and telling everyone about it.   Seriously.   I've caught myself doing it an night but only to avoid cutting a shallow point too close.  The result could have just as easily been the same though.  So Thanks.

Something tells me we wouldn't have read about this had it been a Skeeter owners tournament. Yeah, it was a nitwit move on the part of tournament organizers. But it had nothing to do with boat brand.

If it had been "a Skeeter owners tournament" you would not have found me participating.  Tournaments are not why I fish and you couldn't pay me to get involved in one.  Ooopsie, I think you're a Ranger owner....certainly wasn't bashing Ranger boats....just the idiot organizers.

Yeah, I think a lot of people equated GPS with Radar and I hope that error has corrected itself.

I use to have a lowrance to navigate by 20 some years ago but no gps.....30 miles off shore in the Gulf of Mexico in an 18 foot boat sure feels lonely out there and better have a a gps or lowrance to get home by or a good compass.

 he was aware of his mistakes,how many of you are aware there's a speed limit at night? 

didn't find this funny or amusing at all, hope this never happens again.   at least nobody was physically hurt by this self proclaimed  "idiot" smh. 

if people don't like my comment, i'm sorry i'm trying to be nice

Speed limit?!!!  What say you?!  You must have just made that up, or bumped your head.  I've never heard of anyone getting a speeding ticket on the water, and I know A LOT of boaters.
