Riding in a creek channel in my 14x36 Jon with a 20hp longtail. Wasn't the best set up weight wise but it did what I needed it to do.. Got on plane and running wide open, noticed my push pole was hangin out the boat some so bent over to pick it up and my handle started pushing on my side , I was standing (with no grab handle) and when I tried to correct it , it pushed me right out the boat.. Luckily had my kill switch on and motor killed but was still a 20 yard swim back to boat.. In November, water was a tad chilly. And swimming fully clothed is a lot different than u think. Always wear that kill switch..
