Maybe you're a 10%er. Seriously though,I wouldn't turn my inexperienced kid loose with an AR-15, yet it seems that the same equivalent is happening with watercraft. I don't want to ban anything but there has to be better answer than just letting idiots run till they kill themselves or someone else.

I can agree with that. MOST folks either do not know the rules of the water or refuse to follow them. Being able to travel 40-50mph allows me to run 10-15miles to a marina for drinks, snacks, or gas and not use all of my fishing time. It also allows me to fish the river section or the deep lake section of a reservoir. If the lower end is full of wake boats I'll run 15-25 north to get away. Not everyone wants to fish within 1-2mi of the ramp, that's all you can do with a 20hp motor.

Interstates and major roadways are the real dangers.

I always looked at the ability to run from a lightning storm. I usually trailer to an area I'm going to fish if possible. It's cheaper and quicker in many cases.

i just wanna go fast

I think you can do a little better than 1-2 miles with a 20hp.I used one for a lot of years and did better than 2 miles just paddling.

I understand your point and I have no problem with anyone who knows how to drive safely. I don't care if you get up some speed on a big open area. On the other hand we have a little lake up here just a few miles long,6-8 would be my guess if you don't count the very shallow feeder creeks. it's about 50-90 yards wide most places and very curvy and winding. There's guys running their 250 hp bass boats wide open around those curves all the time,like they think it's the Indy 500. There's just no sense in it when you could get to the same place at a safe speed just 3 minuets later.

Where you talking about R.H.?

He had no control of it in the video before the wreck seen.. Im surprised he lived. That was crazy. I thought they were made to fish in? Didnt know bass swam that fast dang

Damn a bunch of fishing. Sucks anyway.
