[QUOTE="BamaProud, post: 5282324, member: 9871"] I had a non-storm related incident while shrimping. Coincidentally it happened right about where the thunderstorm popped up in the image above. I had a buddy with me. I think I was in college at the time, so in my early 20s. We were in a 17 foot boat, the net (attached to the boat by 2 ropes, one on each side) got caught on something which stopped us in our tracks and pulled the rear end of the boat nearly under water so that waves were coming over the stern. I cut one rope which made the boat turn hard left and begin to do a circle. The sudden jolt knocked us down while trying to cut the other rope. I can't remember who cut the 2nd rope but when we were loose the boat (still in gear) jolted again and my buddy went overboard. All that happened in probably less than a minute. Luckily the boat stayed afloat but it had a ton of water in it. I bailed out the boat while my buddy swam toward the boat probably 25-35 yards away. We never really even tried to recover the net. I'm sure it was badly damaged anyway. [/QUOTE]
