There's some BIG gators in Horseshoe!!! Prayers for the persons family.

The man that lost his life was in his early 40's and a local fisherman. news is reporting he hit a stump and a channel marker. The driver of the boat had minor injuries. Bad deal that happens way to often on Barnett.

heard his last name was Pucket from Florence area . They found him . prayers sent .

It's a bad deal for sure. From what I'm hearing they hit a stump close to the river channel causing the boat to veer into the channel marker. He was the passenger witch is where the damage is on the boat. In the horseshoe area there is a big turn in the river channel so most of the fishermen take the short cut don't know if they were doing this or not. One thing bout the B nett is there is more than enough stumps!! I say run the channel & slow down outside the channel. You never know. Wear PFD!!!

His name was Reggie Pucket, he was rep. for Hoyt bows, he and a friend were fishing, the friend survived from what i am told , but was knocked out from the inpact, Reggie was a great guy, and will be missed by many

Last time I was over that way I saw a big log sticking up about 20' out in the channel not far from a channel marker. It had been washed in by higher water earlier this year. I wonder if that is where it happened? Prayers to the family.

I talked to 2 people last night that said the same thing. Said you can't see it now that the lake is at summer pool. One of them hit it Wednesday morning and did 6000.00 in damage to his boat

Looks like they need to move it or at least mark it
