There have been a lot of very large logs on Old Hickory for the last week. Several in the 15-20 foot range. I'm out there 2 or 3 times a week most weeks. I cringe every time I see a boat go by with little more than the prop in the water. There is always something floating in that lake.
I have never heard of this happening…. Can't imagine and how he didn't bleed to death.
I knew it was coming!
I can tell you it's not the time for a comment like that. Be a decent person and keep your thoughts on boat speeds to yourself or start another thread.
Regardless if speed was a factor, nothing in his comment was malicious or false. Nothing at all wrong with what he said.
PRAYING.
Malicious probably not, false definitely not but it was laced with the same holier than thou innuendo that plagues this site
So how fast was he running? What did he hit? What speed do you suggest as safe? How much experience do you have on that lake? Do you have any idea how that lake lays after a heavy rain? Tournament experience, much?
I believe I seen shoulder surgery today, then off the ventilator if all goes as planned.
And before you comment, note the "tiller handle" comment above your original snark. We'll ASSUME speed wasn't a problem there..
Gunna be waiting awhile, ole Clifford seems to just be an old codger that just wants to make sure everyone knows he is slow.
Great news !
Talked to local boat shop owner the other day. Saw some additional pictures. The guy truly lucky to have survived. He said he was doing about 75 mph. Old Hickory doesn't need a heavy rain to look like crap. I don't know his experience level but I would imagine he's been on it before.
I saw a news story on it and the pic was nuts. Prayers for him.
I haven't heard anything lately. As far as I know, yes.
