Well sometimes the water gets dangerous

I was born and raised fishing the gulf, if you fish there eventually you get to experience rough seas…to say it’s terrifying is and understatement… I share a YouTube fishing channel I follow, jump ahead to 22:30…..

Neither one of those guys had on a life jacket.

Looks like a typical day out on Lake of the Ozarks.

 

No really though, that was really stupid.  They are a couple lucky dudes.

They have no idea how lucky they were.

I've been in worse on Stockton. I was smart enough to have my life jacket on.

Ditto. Trim down, hammer down if you're going against the waves. Opposite if you're going with them.

Situation kinda goes next level when you're 5+ miles offshore (to far to swim) in shark infested water.   

I've been in some wicked squalls....but there was always the option of getting myself to the bank....and to hell with the stupid boat !    That's what insurance is for.

If you are gonna be in places where such as that is likely you better be fully prepared to get the the heck of there, or be prepared to endure it.  Out on the salt there ain't much to hide behind, on inland lakes there is usually a cove you can duck into and avoid the worst. Sat out a lot of thunderstorms tucked back in a cove when a kid on stockton, in a 14 ft richline.

That guy saw it coming, I am a chicken I would have been headed for the nearest harbor at top speed.
