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.

Looks like they need to move it or at least mark it
That's where I hit a channel marker last week at 35mph. Barely skimmed it cause I couldn't see around my seats in that curve. I take my front seats down when running now. WAY to close a call for me!!!!!!' Prayers Sent for Mr. Puckets family.Quote:

It is dangerous, I have had several close calls on the Rez . 2 or 3 people get killed almost every year there. BRM you did right by taking the front seats down, many people don't and you can't see squat with them up. Things are bad enough on the lake but when you go up river things get tight, and people still are hauling a$$. Not much room for mistakes. Prayers to the families involved in this tragedy.
