I was a long way off when I took this video. It was worse than it looks.
Some of the guys said he should have gunned it.
What do you think?

Looked like typical Team eyeFISH weather in any of our major coastal estuary fisheries.

Yeah, I'd hit it.

wrong hull, could have quartered the waves, got wet a little, but no danger of "sailing"
But even if you got out, what then? Likely would be taking waves over the stern.....no fun.
Go home.

My Seaswirl would have handled that. BTDT at Sekiu many times. No freeboard and WAY too fast. Slow and steady.

That hull design is great for technically challenging water the equivilent of a koi pond.

It is just the wrong boat for those conditions and that body of water.


Safety comes first and the guy made the right decision but what is the plan next time he gets out then the weather comes?


Poor planning IMO and it is just a matter of time.

Pickle hunters just don't do slow and steady. Surprised these guys turned around.

Yes, some areas are rougher than others. My uncles saw a race boat on too rough a water that stuck in the bottom when it went in nose first.

This video is on CNN right now of a guy obviously traveling too fast for conditions. He tries to throttle down... way too late, then gets tossed like a bitch!
Totally irresponsible captain IMO. The second time you watch it, watch the people in the back...Bikini girls dont look so happy... frown

OMG...


I watched that five times and i'll have to go back and watch it again. That was hilarious. One girl is checking her tooth while the other is blowing water out her nose.

I am sure it was a scary ordeal but it is like watching someone fall down a set of stairs or a wipe out on a skateboard- sometimes you can't help but laugh.


Thanks for saving a floundering thread SkyGuy and making my morning.

I saw that. The first time you watch it doesn't seem to show the whole impact of how they are getting tossed around.

Bald guy looked like he was knocked out. BUI! Boating while under the influence! OR, BWD Boating while drunk! At least he had the pleasure of two babes landing on him. Well maybe not if he was out cold.
