Wow. Glad I'm sitting here on the couch and not on that pontoon boat. That's some scary stuff.

Holy smoke batman
That was close!!!

that's why I fish the upper end of lakes

I thought they had cables between the marker boys so you could catch one of those if you got too close.
Wonder who the Capitan was...not a good recommendation for his/her skill set.
That's why I don't go near the spillways on either side of the dam

What I read said he had drift socks out and they couldn't cut them loose fast enough. Even full throttle he couldn't beat the current.

Glad they are safe. I got some thoughts I'll keep to my self!
