Big time accident on Bull Shoals
Heard on the news this morning that two boat collided in the dark on Bull Shoals Saturday night about 2300. Killed one guy on the speed boat and put the two guys on the bass boat in the hospital. There were 7 people on both boats, 5 on a speed boat and 2 on the bass boat. The bass guys were fishing a tournement out of Bull Shoals Boat Dock, the speed boat folks were on vacation and staying in Theodosisa, MO. They were up around Marker 12 at Pontiac and in about 140 feet of water. The still haven't found the body of the one guy on the speed boat. No clear cause of the collision was cited, but I bet speed, dark and driver inattention were a big part.
Bottom line, be safe out there, watch out for the other guy, cause he may not be watching out for you. Tight lines.
