I spent a thunderstorn under a bridge in a 14 foot boat. They water had a 2 foot chop going. All you could do at that point was hold on to the boat and ride it out. A little tri hull boat throws lots of mist when hooked to a bridge being tossed about by wind drawn waves. I spent a good portion of time fishing the Gulf of Mexico growing it. But that storm pushing up that lake in North Alabama had me concerned that a wave was going to swamp that boat and leave me swimming.
