I coudnt agree more.
What anyone would be doing on a big body of water in a bass boat is beyond me. Why they were all thrown off is also beyond me. I'm guessing big wave maybe? Know your boats' limitations and respect the water. If you find yourself wondering if it's safe to go out, it's probobly not. Check the NOAA offshore forecasts before you go out, carry lifevests, flareguns, and have a cell phone AND radio on your boat. You can also monitor the NOAA channels for severe weather updates.
