I sure wouldn't bet against it. Any body gets out in that kinda wind may not sink but something going to get tore up for sure.

MCC fished a tourney at Washington a few years back with this kinda wind. Warren Cotton and Jeremy Davis won it, but caught their fish Early before the wind let loose!!! Gonna be tough to say the Least!!!!

Warren and Jeremy were the only team with 7, and I believe the second place team only had 4-5. Most didn't catch a fish.

Got caught in 90 MPH straight line winds on Sardis a few years back. Was not fun and try to not be on the water in these storms after that. But we did plow new channels east of the Indian mound boat ramp.:yikes

I was on Sardis that day. Most amazing storm I've ever seen wind wise. Had it not been for someone calling me from home watching it on TV I'd probably for sure been sunk. Barely made it back to the boat ramp and all I could do was run it up on the bank as fast as I could and hop out. I've never seen the wind pick up so fast and hard as that day. Cell phones sure help out these days keeping track on the lake. If a chance of storms, I'm checking mine all day just to make sure of no repeat!
