Ouch. Cutting corners......and then the hook happens.

Could have won video of the year if he would have hopped up, put the trolling motor down, and started slingin' an A-rig.  😅

Probably obvious to you boaters, but, why wasn't there a large rock hole in that hull?

And does this sort of thing happen often enough that he doesn't seem particularly disturbed by it?

Probably just caught it right (pure luck) so that the boat sort of bounced off.  He's lucky it didn't come to a sudden stop when it hit the bank.

My other question was why he didn't get bucked off, thrown out, even his cap stayed in the boat. Thing looked almost like a planned stunt for a movie with the camera mounted to see it all.

I like how his first instinct was to make sure the rods on the deck were ok.  Who cares about the boat.

I knew he was going to be in trouble when he was out there in the wakes of the other boats and was keeping the hammer down trying to go over them.

That’s incredibly bad boat driving for a  “professional” fisherman.

Not sure I'd even call this an "accident.  More of a blatant, and complete lapse of judgement on the boater's part that could've been easily avoided. He's lucky this f-up didn't cost him his life.  I'm not really a tourney guy so what do I know, but the way some people take off and run down lake is downright dangerous, and a little disturbing.

besides not knowing how to drive a boat, it was ignorant on his part for going around a blind corner the wrong way on the inside.  what if there had been someone coming from the other way that would have been in the right, and he collided with them.  exactly what we need an operators test just as with cars.  but, you can't fix stupid.
