University Of Florida Bass Fishing Team Crashes Their Boat Badly

by Larry Leo

January 19, 201721 Comments

I didn't know University Of Florida had a bass fishing team...(is this an SEC Conference thing?)...but these poor dudes had the care of a lifetime when their boat flipped. Per YouTube...

quote:
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!

Good on them for having the kill switch attached.

Bass fishermen must be a bunch of assholes. They had at least 4 boats fly by without even stopping.

I never saw the boat flip. Regardless that's scary. I have no interest in going that fast in a boat. I can't fish at 57 mph.

Wow, that could have been so much worse.

Must of been a big tournament at least 4 other boats cruised right past them.

My buddy let go of the wheel while coming in from bass fishing to catch my hat that blew off. I went flying out of the boat just like that. lol. Gators everywhere. At least the boat did not get me.

You must have been sitting on the troll motor if he was sitting at the steering wheel. Now, try again and don't worry about the gators. Any Louisiana boy can tell you they won't bother you.

I had no idea there was an NCAA bass fishing league.

Those stupid bastards couldn't go that fast in Mississpppi rivers or carp would kill them.

Praise God that they are ok. Inspecting steering linkage regularly on the faster boats is critical.

Must have bounced off the goal line.

57??? Were they having engine trouble? Mine isn't even beginning to chine walk at that speed.

Sometimes, I wonder if Balance of Nature is really just Dinovite marketed to humans. The commercials are very similar along with the claimed benefits. By "sometimes" I really mean "often" and by "I wonder if" I really mean "I have an unhealthy obsession to figure out if."
