Hunter Bland and Conner Young of the University of Florida Bass Fishing Team, get ejected from their boat while running approx. 57 mph. This was due to a steering system part failure. Praise God, both young men were not injured. Thanks again to FLW for their boating safety checks. Wear your life jackets and kill switches!

At least they were smart enough to be wearing auto inflate life jackets.

Wasn't a question of being smart. It is mandatory on the FLW Tournament series. Who knows if they would have worn them if they weren't fishing in the tourney.


To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.

Gee I always thought 57 was a pleasant cruising speed in my boat smile

Something similar happened to a pro in California 10-15 years ago. His name was Gary Dobyns. He was running fast and caught a wave wrong, and the boat (a high dollar Ranger) spun out & ejected him. He had a concussion and broken vertebrae in his back, but suffered no paralysis. When he woke up he was under the boat, but managed to climb back in, barely. Likewise saved by his vest, and a kill switch. Was off work a long time.

They were lucky they weren't killed. I remember a news story 5 to 10 years about a couple of local guys testing out a bass boat they had just bought and the steering let loose while running down the lake, They were both thrown and killed when boat went over the top of them.

Damn Russians.


Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

It had to be the nut that holds the cylinder to the outboard.

I flipped a bass boat several years ago. I had trimmed down and was making a turn when a wave caught the side of my boat and flipped it. One second I was driving the boat, the next second I was under it! I had no idea what had happened until someone who witnessed the accident told me.

Luckily I was wearing a life jacket and had the kill switch connected, very likely saved my life. I was not injured.
