BFL tourney boat accident
 

My buddy Matt was fishing the BFL on bayou black was involved in a bad accident while fishing the tourney I'll post more when I find out

Damn! Hope everyone is ok.

I hope everyone involved is okay!

SOB. Hope everyone is okay! I am interested in some more pictures.

Damn. Hope everyone was ok. Bet that was scary. But how does that happen? Just wondering.

Not sure the details , but I know the weather is bad and speed is usually reason for accidents in tourneys

Wow.. that does look bad

Hope all were ok. Please let us know what happened

Man that looks bad hope everyone is okay

Hope everyone's OK. Looks bad.

Sometimes it is better to call it quits instead of ending up in an accident. A fishing tournament victory isn't worth it

Ouch!! Hope your buddy and everyone involved is ok.

Wow!

Hope no one was hurt becous of it.

Jus wonder what happend .....narro canals or going to fast arou d bind .....or texting and boating.

What caused it I don't want it to happen to me.

is everyone ok?

Yeah he is ok and going to call me with details later tonight . I did find out it was another boats fault... That ended up sinking

At least nobody was hurt...

Keep us posted...

thank god everyone is ok well at least your friends for sure, I'm assuming the other guys are too.

Let us know when you get the details I'm curious to know and some more pics would be sweet

Just crazy how do you hit a yellow boat, and if it was raining to hard to see you should not be running. Man that sucks for your buddy glad he is ok

A different pic and a little more info

Wow that is scary. After I saw that everyone was ok would be pissed if I was on the trolling motor and some yahoo ran into me.

Damn it seems like the ranger jumped his boat. His talon is bent and his cowling seems to be missing... Why would that be if it was just a collision. Just trying to picture it in my head.

Bet the impact alone would knock the cowling off, I can't imagine that

You really look like an arse when you hit what had to be on of the brightest colored boats on the water.

Ok I talked to my friend. He was the angler paired with the boater( yellow skeeter) they went to make a blind left hand turn @ 60 mph and took the outside which is correct (pass on the right) and a boat (ranger) was making a right hand turn and took it to wide . Collided with the yellow skeeter on the passenger side and barrel rolled over the skeeter . The motor from the ranger hit the motor from skeeter while barrel rolling over and caused the skeeter to do a 360 onto the bank . Passenger of ranger bailed out in time driver got trapped but eventually came loose and swam to safety . My buddy was the most banged up out of the 4 involved and broke over $3000.00 in rods/reels . So the lesson learned.... Don't blow around blind corners @ 60 mph

That'll sure ruin a fishing trip. Luck no one got hurt or killed.

x2 glad your friend is ok pox. Gear can be replaced. A life cannot

bet that was a heck of a sight there. sounds like a movie stunt

Easy to do in the spillway.
In 1993 I almost hit a boat doing a similar turn as the ranger.
It was so close I can say I was just frozen for a few seconds after I stopped.
Now I slow down and look both ways.
It is the reason I now carry liability on my both of my boats.
Today with bigger and faster boats on water things like this can happen easily.

Glad to hear they are ok

Luck comes in all forms...
those boys are lucky to still be here.

Just a slight adjustment on the trajectory of how the ranger jumped and both of them could no longer be here. Very fortunate.

people really need to slow down out there... a little common sense goes a long ways! glad noone was hurt!
