  • What a day out there. It went from a slow day, to nearly getting crushed by a boat, to catching a monstrosity of a lingcod! All in less than 15 minutes!!! In addition to a couple laughs, I hope this video reminds everyone that boats are just as dangerous as cars and need to be operated with care. Always be aware of your surroundings and watch out for each other on the water. Thank you guys for the view and stay safe out there!

    Glad nobody was hurt in this incident. Aside from a few laughs, I just want to remind everyone to be aware of your surroundings and watch out for each other on the water. You wouldn’t drive a car without looking and the same goes for operating a boat. Stay safe out there and tight lines! Thanks for the view!

      Had the near miss (by a breath and a half) resulted in the boat bow impacting the kayakers body instead, the impact alone could have easily been fatal; .if not the impact alone,the kayaker would have suffered tremendous horrible injury,since the boater would have ran over him (further injury inflicted after the initial impact), and subsequently being chopped into by the outboard propeller. All of this would have taken approximately only two seconds.
      If this would not have in combination been fatal, the injuries inflicted would have caused the kayaker to breathe heavily in bodily reaction to breathe, and this impulse to breathe in desperately for air would have caused him to fatally drown (drowning).

    Interestingly I'm still getting pinged (even after a month from DH's original video post) by commenters that I should report the boat guys, or whatever anti-california geopolitical bs some of these viewers have. Seriously, many folks need to chill, be glad that Die Hard is safe, and we can watch more of his video adventures (with Mrs DH too!). Hopefully November crab season videos soon!!!
    -- My original comment
    The guys CF 3245 SM boat tag at 7:22 clearly seen in the video. That boat owner should lose his boater card for negligence, if he even had one to begin with. The boat operator didn't even go back and confirm the safety of the person he hit. You really should take it up on him at least in small claims court for damages to your kayak.

    You had a good attitude about it. As a kayaker and 26’ boat owner I fear being hit and hitting others. That boater was an idiot. After many close calls I finally put a flag on my kayak and started wearing brighter colors. As a boater I can say it is hard to see kayaks and even other small boats some time. You always give the right of way to a kayaker and as a boat driver you are also responsible for your wake so those who boat around kayaks slow down because you are responsible if your wake flips another vessel, including a kayak.

      Yes, the boat operator clearly nearly committed manslaughter. You can actually see him looking right at our kayaking friend in the photo caught by the go pro. The boat operator knew exactly what he was doing. The boat operator made no change at all to avoid him. He drove into him missing broadsiding him and killing him by two feet, had he not worked the pedaled rapidly as he could. He did not slow down at all. The boat driver then kept going, motoring away without any regard to our friend he just hit. This may actually be manslaughter with indifference to killing. Which the severity moves from manslaughter to a type of murder in degree.

    • @SunnyIlha
      @SunnyIlha 5 років тому +3

      The boat driver did not change course at all. In fact, motored the boat in a straight beeline directly into collision head on into the kayak. In a wide open sea, he pinpointed motoring directly into this tiny space, the space if a single kayak at sea. It is very obvious the boat driver knew exactly what he was doing. Look again at the footage. The driver has made no attempt to in the slightest manner manuever by the tiller the bow the boat. He has been filmed actually ramming the kayaker, fully knowing the kayaker is exactly there. Look carefully at the footage. The boat driver is actually looking right at the kayaker. He is making no alteration in course. He does not even slow in speed. He just rams the kayaker. Note that the kayaker is not moving at all; not in any motion.

      @RainCity3rd 5 років тому +2

      @mike force not really. I mean if the filmer was killed maybe manslaughter, as in unintentional causing death. But lucky for all the kayaked was not seriously injured. As such really the only thing that is likely to happen is to have them pay for the repairs. Hard to say if they can have boating operator's license revoked. Depends on the jurisdiction. Unfortunately as serious injury did not result likely nothing will result.

    I'm not sure you know that you almost died. If you hadn't paddled/peddled forward like you did they would have broadsided you. Even at that low speed, the impact could easily have knocked you unconscious and pushed you under the boat. The outboard engines propeller could have killed or maimed you. You did the right thing by moving, but you should file charges against these kids, not just for nearly running you over, but for not stopping after they hit your vessel. Call the Coast Guard.

      Exactly. When I go boating with my dad, I always sit up front to check for any object or thing that could be crossing our path. Where we fish is an artificial lake, which used to be forest with villages and large trees, of which the dead large trees form a danger to boats, sticking out of the water or hidden just below the surface. There are tons of those trees, and you will almost always bump a tree, which is why you need someone to help you look out for things in your path, which those two other guys on that boat in the video weren't doing.

    • @theread3480
      @theread3480 3 роки тому +1

      @Mike Lyons It’s not hard at all to see a kayak on the water, especially on a small boat like that, and ESPECIALLY when you have passengers on the boat. The chance that the driver and passengers didn’t see the kayak is almost 0. I’m inclined to believe they either tried to hit him on purpose or tried to get close to scare him and ended up accidentally hitting him instead (which is probably most likely)

We're also supposed to have a sound emiting device like an air horn or whistle(bare min) on your pdf or within reach. Good thing he didn't get ran over but you've also got to make yourself more visible to boats. 🤷
