CAUGHT in Lake Erie Storm - Huge Waves
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- The weather report was calling for 2 Foot or Less. Goes to show how fast a storm can amp up the waves on Lake Erie! Changed to 8-12 foot waves in an hour. There were occasional bigger waves mixed in as the wave buoy recorded a 19 footer while we were out there!
i dont think people understand how big 8 footers are lol. Those were 4-5 max. But still dangerous at times. glad you made it out with no issues!
Absolutely...spent most of my time in the military at sea....this is no where near 8 - 12Ft waves.
Yea, 4-5 max. 😂😂😂
Thank you
Those are 2-4ft
I’ve been out on Erie in 4-6 foot waves and they sure looked a lot bigger than those waves!
Its hard to tell from a video. Take a video next time and you will see what I am talking about.
@@wldproductions12 foot waves will send green water over the decks of a 55 foot sportfish off Oregon Inlet. I’ve been there. Those are nowhere near 12 footers.
@@wldproductions Not 12 footers
8 to 12s we wouldn't be watching the video
...got stuck out there in a 21 ft. walleye charter just outside Canadian water once bout 30 yrs ago & wind kicked up some 8-10s...took hours to get back to Port Clinton ...most unpleasant trip
Erie isn't a lake...it's actually an inland sea
Been there on Erie…..going out on charter boat…..we were holding on for actual lives….and finally the captain figured out we should head back and we did. Erie is a motherfucker and I’ve been caught with no land in sight in a 17’ with trolling motor….and it was up and down to the bottom of the trough with 360 deg of water walls around you,,,,,of course it was our fault….but we easily could have died that day…I would not call them 10’, just persisitent 8’ and that was way more than enough for one lifetime,
Yeah imagine Huron and superior LOL, erie is a joke compared to those waters
Literally no one:
This guy: 12 ft waves bro.
Source: Trust me bro
More like 4 to 5 at the most. 12 ft would have come over the back dude
Boats float dude! They were coming over the back that day! We had one crash on the roof not in the video!
Don’t look like it, I’m out there all the time too. Not no 12 ft hahahha
Guess you havent been out in 12 footers then! Theres a good steelers game on my guy! Thanks for the views!
@@wldproductions just like you haven’t been either. Thanks for getting offended
@@gsrailfann5025 Offended? I am disagreeing with you 😂Actually laughing at your need to comment
the upside down and backwards visor cap 😂😂😂 this guy still living in the early 2000’s
He was calm as a cucumber
@@wldproductionsnot 12 footers you fool
Hell yeah!
I crossed lake Erie in 10 ft waves once! Scariest night of my life! We came from Buffalo and we're headed to Port Colborne! We ended up going to Crystal Beach. Those waves were half of what we dealt with.
Those were around 5 footers at best but still would have scared the shat out of me!
That's a 4 ft wave with a large swell
Beware of Lake Erie,it can turn very quickly from not bad to ‘where is my life jacket?’ and lets head in immediately to shore.
That was my exact thought
one of my fondest childhood memories is fishing in lake erie with grandpa and dad and uncle bob. rowing the boat back to shore in 8 foot waves with our tackle boxes floating around the boat. Motor done for, everything under water. beer cans floating everywhere... got some fish tho.
back out there next week. aaaaaah the seventies...
Sounds like a great time!
I learned my lesson in a 14 ft aluminum in 5 ft swells on Lake Ontario out of Toronto. Check wind speed, a nice warm day doesn't always mean its a boating day, especially if its a warmer day between fall and spring
The problem is lake Erie is so shallow the waves are very choppy Hence a lot of freighter ships have sank in the Great lakes. These waves don't roll. You get half through a wave and hit another before being done with the last wave.
We had some 22 footers hit the south end of Lake Michigan here a few winters back, I went to the beach to check it out and it was legit the most terrifying thing I'd ever seen, just pure chaos. The lake looked like a giant pot of boiling water
I would say those were some big swells. 4-6 with the occasional 10-12 foot. Nice video!
Agreed, I’d say more 6ers
I had a 50C (55ft) Sportfisherman in Lake Michigan.. 8-10 foot waves would bust spray over 20ft high over the flybridge radar arch in 30knt winds... I don't see many whitecaps on those waves, probably waves from other boats. My wife and I would go out on 6-8 seas nobody else would be out there. We had Lake Michigan all to ourselves!!😊
Been on an Aircraft Carrier in the Southern Pacific in 1969 the waves were crashing ON the flight deck. Being a throttleman at the time I had the throttles to hold onto to... It was a rough ride but not as bad than the destroyer besides us.
Beautiful and unpredictable Lake Erie. Like blowing on a saucer of water. Its a relatively shallow lake, but also a GREAT LAKE!
For sure
I have been boating on lake Erie, since 1978....those are 4 to 6 foot ...no way 8 to 10 foot!!
6 footers probably
Most boaters check the weather…….just saying.
When I was 8yrs old we got caught in a storm in a sailboat. Waves were high enough to pick up the boat and throw it into the breakwall. Scariest day of my life.
Not a good time
“Dude! I had a FORTY POUNDER on the line, but I had to cut him loose because we’re in 8-foot, following seas!”
(He had nothing on the hook, and those were 4-5 footers, with an occasional six-foot swell. Still when out on the water, and ESPECIALLY the Great Lakes, better safe than sorry. Glad you guys made it in safely.)
Thank you
At least you had a decent boat i been out in those on a 19 ft bowrider. Took like 2 hours to travel couple miles back zig zagging through the waves just watching the compass trying to stay south southwest
You were not in 19 foot waves. That's not what that readout was measuring.
We werent in 19 foot waves. We were in 5-8's with the occasional rogue. Im sure there could have been one that was 12 foot that we didnt see.
Me and a buddy learned our lesson fishing lake michigan with a 19ft flat bottom boat at night. High winds came out of nowhere and we had 4 miles to get back to GB.... easily waves like the one in this video. Thankfully the wind and waves were blowing back to GB and we rode the waves like a surfboard. Stayed calm and didn't freak out. Never again!
Thats scary, been out in 3's in a flat bottom and that was enough!
My buddy and I...GB is on the Bay of Green Bay. I crossed from Marinette to Egg Harbor in a Northeast wind, at least 20 mph, 4-6 foot waves, took me an hour and a half to go 12 miles.
Think how miserable that could have been without that pilothouse...
Lake Erie has capsized more boats than any inland sea on the planet. This very likely could have been 12 foot windswell on the buoys which wouldn’t look like a 12 foot face but I can vouch for this guy he’s probably not bullshitting. Lake Erie can go from 2 feet to 12 feet in two hours
The chop is what gets you, the swells in the ocean are different then erie swells.
Been at sea during a storm and witnessed a Destroyer alongside disappear briefly completely under water. Yes, I have a understanding of the definition of "huge".
Wheres that video?
Dont ever go in the ocean , and that boat is perfectly capable he doesnt know how to drive the boat in harsh conditions. 16ft aluminum with a 15hp, plenty of fuel, 15 to 20 ft swells going to Catalina...
The waves always looks smaller on video, you have to hold the camera low over the side to get the best shot, but it might get wet. Also turning down the field of view really helps.
Hopefully I don’t have to try that next time
I believe it!! Lake Erie is no joke!!! 😬✌🌊
Yep, she can get angry!
Compared to Superior it is
@@wldproductionsnot 12 footers. Not even close 😂
The highest waves ever recorded in Lake Michigan was 27 foot
Watch the forecast....crazy being out there
I bet you caught a 5 foot fish that day too!
No everyone was at ur momma house thought u knew 😮
I worked with a man and I believe 5 of them drowned in a storm on Erie , tore the boat to hell, this was in the 80,s if I recall, time plays tricks when you get old, maybe late 70,s early 80,s, I read where the depth of Erie combines with severe storms to make hell.
nothing to mess with
@@wldproductionscould you imagine being in real 12 footers
Note to self: Always listen to the marine weather forecast and heed the warnings.
Fished in 5-6 all the time,we called them the walleye chop,had twin 225hp yamahas on 29' pursuit,anything less wouldn't do it.
When the winds 20 mph from the west fishing is the best lol
Wrong
My guess would be it’s measuring top to bottom of the drop, that make that 15 foot marker about 7.5, those look every bit of 5-8 footers which is indeed very sketchy but 12 footers is pushing record waves on Erie, I think the record is 13 out 14,
Yea its weird i have seen 12 foot waves that when they crash into the shore come up over a 30 foot cliff crazy power
Dude knows what hes doing. You can tell by the inverted backwards sun visor
Thats the only way to do it
@@wldproductionsMaybe if you're full blooded tard it is, aside from that, absolutely not, Vanilla Ice.
I was going to Port Colborne, Ontario from Dunkirk, NY on a 30ft 89 Celebrity in 2008. We were taking 8'-10' waves in the middle from the left side. Boat would go up over the waves and slam into the water a few seconds later. I don't know how we made it. Now I refuse to go out if the winds are going to be strong.
At no point in 2008 was there 10ft waves on Lake Erie. Does nobody know how a wave is measured?? The largest wave EVER recorded on Lake Erie was 14ft, in Cleveland, during a literal hurricane. You were in max 6ft waves in 2008. Nothing larger than that was recorded, or existed.
@@refluxcatalyst7190 were you on my boat? I didn't think so.
@@refluxcatalyst7190 were you on my boat? I didn't think so.
People sayin its 4 to 5 ft 😂😂😂. Thats 2 ft Hawaiian style seriously
More like 5 foot waves
Been on the great lakes my whole life. Those are maybe 5 footers MAX
Constant 5’s though
Calm day in the Atlantic.. lake boys really don’t know “waves”
You have rollers though
That looks like solid 4's from here.... when you're in it, they look like 8's though hahaha
Ur momma know what 8 are as everyone was over 😅
If you squint your eyes everything looks bigger.😮
@user-cz9wg1ks2e How does being illiterate feel, clown shoes? When trying to "one up" someone, next time, maybe learn to speak properly first 🙄
Fellas, pls wear a life jacket when boating in the storm. Better safe than sorry.
Cheers.
Looks like the typical halibut opener in the NW. probably scary for you guys if you’re not used to rough water.
Captain wasnt scared
@@wldproductionsnot 12 footers 😅
Even being the smallest one of the 5 she sure gets waves due to the depth of Erie. Im a fisherman from northwest Ohio
Lake Erie is shallower but Lake Ontario is smaller.
And the fish were as big as the waves!
We didn't catch nothing!
Trim up on slow speed and on fast speeds trim down so the nose eats the waves well that's how ours is.
Wave height usually includes wavelength some days waves can be 3-4ft but be 8-10 long other days you can have 8-10 foots waves with the length being of the wave around 3-5ft. They use an average of both to give weave height readings.
👍🏻
Whats amazing is how much worse they seem because theyre closer together than salt water waves
Exactly! Not fun
5-6 footers. But still nothing to shake a stick at
Exactly
Been there, Lake Erie is no joke
Those are tiny waves get real bro, I've been out there in 3 times that caught in a real storm, these are just perfect size for the walleye bite.
If you can get a dipsy to stay down in that you’re better than we
Not Huge. I live on the West side of Kelly’s Island on the shoreline facing Perry’s Monument. When it’s blowing 50+ outta the Northwest, those r huge waves. They splash into my yard at times……..I’ve seen 10 to 12 foot waves easily
It is hard to tell on the boat, but yeah I believe lake Erie chop can get rough
Been in 15ft sweels 50mph wind offshore, 3 times the size than this baby waves,on 21ft trophy,swell so high it was hitting the roof of hard top,in the back of the back of the boat 1ft of water...Praying to every god out there.We managed,But never again doing that.
We had a couple come over the roof, always hard to tell from a video because its 2D. I agree not something I would do a again I can handle the 5 footers, but those were bigger haha
Fresh water, some breaking waves. Less than 20 knots, looks like confused 3-4 footers. A small craft on a day like that shouldn't even be out.
It’s a 25 foot boat
Those summer squalls . . .
Those are not 8- 10 foot waves, 4 to 6 maybe. How do I know, raced a sailboat in northeasterner in 14 to 16 ft waves. Couldn't see below the spreader of other sailboat in different trough
Aye yay captain
And ur mom works with u sitting on her knee
Sameweatgrre master chief. Searay 350 sundscer been in
I doubt that they were that big. The data you held to the screen were either from someplace else, or they were from the Rocky River Buoy. The Rocky River Buoy data matches your data well if the wave height were given in inches, not feet. That being said, the waves grew a lot bigger during the next hour after that at Rocky River, the largest waves there may have grown to 3-4 feet. Your waves were probably bigger because you were much further out from shore with a longer fetch then that Buoy. The 45005 Buoy further out in the lake might have been more representative of your conditions. The largest waves there approached 6 feet. What stands out is how fast the waves grew...they doubled in height in just an hour or so. The winds were surprisingly strong for about an hour around 4 PM and were almost a gale. This is particularly surprising considering that the water temperatures were several degrees cooler than the air temperatures. I have no idea what caused that brief windstorm but suspect it was a far-downstream effect of thunderstorm clusters in the hours before you were hit. A 5-6 foot wave whipped by a 30 knot near-gale is nasty and steep, and likely to undergo localized breaking or white capping. It would be a force to be reckoned with. That was a nasty wind storm out there and I would not have anticipated it in those conditions. Those were definitely rough conditions.
Lot of coffee shop bullshit info u have alot of this that what ifs 😮
Still wanting for the 8-10 footers
Im not, id never go back out in them again
@@wldproductionsnice click bait video
I have been out there when the lake when to glass calm to 5footers in less than 1/2 hour. Scary stuff
Nothing to mess around with if you arent with an experienced captain!
Those weren't 19-foot waves! That's as big as they ever get on Lake Erie. The largest recorded is only 13 feet. That would be in a full-blown Gale. That being said, you were out in some decent waves. 4-6 feet. With a few bigger rollers in the mix. That's big. I've been out in those conditions. Not fun. Good video.
I think those waves are bigger than they look 👀 on you tube to me they look like 6 to 8 foot waves but it’s just my opinion for what it worth.
Thank you
@@wldproductionsnowhere near 12 footers. This guy is a complete clown
8 footers gtfoh more like 4-5 ft rollers
Lake Erie can be a death trap! Gets nasty real quick.
Check the weather!
@@wldproductions😂😂😂😂 your a joke! Those waves aren't even half that
Absolutely not 12 feet
Wheres your tape measure haha
Where's yours!? Fricken jabroni. You and your dad's boat in your women's visor
Nice chop, but are you really wearing a visor or is that a Russian video AI hack?
Gucci visor
been out there on my jet ski a few times like that, not that bad...in a boat...yeah a bit hairy.
A jet ski would be fun
That's what the weather channel is for. Or any one of the dozens of marine weather services and uncountable apps. If you didn't know the weather would change, that's on you, if you did know then you have to be prepared and understand you and your crafts limitations.
I spent a lot of time fishing out of Oregon Inlet. Those are not 12 foot waves. Barely half that.
they were mainly 8 footers
@@wldproductionsno they weren't 😅
Superior had 30-40ft in 75’
Even bigger that what they report which is just that a recording
Crazy to think about
Yes it dise
*Laughs in Atlantic Ocean
😂those are just baby waves that’s perfect sailing weather dude! Grew up in Port Huron we regularly sailed and took power boats on lake Huron in conditions that bad and much worse.
@@aaronbugaiski2487 You have a bigger heart than we do than hahah
@@wldproductionsnot 12 footers. Not even half that
8-12?? You tell your wife it’s 12 inches too. 😂😂😂
Hahahah
Those are swells not waves
They were waves on swells
3 to 5 at the top end.
disagree
2 - 4 maybe?
Maybe 12 foot wide
4 ft at most fish there every weekend
And u the one at the boat launch sucking golf balls through a garden hose for bait lol
Not 12 footers
it aint the waves ya gotta worry about👍🏼it's breathing underwater. lotz of things are like that🖖🏼
Thats how it works😂
Dude that's like 3 to 4 tops.Come on over to the Atlantic Ocean if you wanna see 12 ft .
What are we fishing for?
@@wldproductionsyour a liar
Those were not 19' waves! That was a 19 time stamp.
Are you sure about that?
4 to 5 foot waves all day long
Been out in 18 tri haul and running in the swell were you couldn't see nothing but wave and sky and we jump would jump wave to wave till the boat split and we had to go in with pumps running and had to keep the boat running and back the trailer in the water and drove it on the trailer and it was fun but my buddys father wasn't to happy over splitting his boat in half but he had it fix 😂
Need wharl 18 rage jet drjve
Those are not 10-12 foot waves😂. Maybe 5-6ft swells. MAX. A true 10ft wave would swallow that boat.
We got swallowed a couple times.
@@wldproductionsno.. no you didn't. Those are 4-5 foot swells
😅 Grew up on the Great lakes. Been on them my whole life. Get off here ya fraud
I didn’t see waves higher than your cabin.
Waves could be 20 feet and not a problem, depending on the period of the waves.
There were a couple that came over the top
Last year I bought a Hewescraft Alaska, previous boat had a cuddy cabin and was much taller. In the Hewescraft, all waves feel much higher. It’s a bit unnerving.
Also I don’t like how the Hewescraft aft deck isn’t self-bailing. I installed a Rule 3700 and might install an additional big bulge pump. If the aft deck takes on water (is pooped,) I want that water out quick.
@@jeffjohnsisland5551 At least they are unsinkable
@@wldproductions Yep. I am planning on checking the foam yearly, since my boat will be moored most of the year. Soggy foam will cause corrosion and might not provide sufficient floatation.
@@jeffjohnsisland5551 Definitely do not want soggy foam
On superior those are about average with a small Storm they are not that big
Yeah you are right they were small
Yup. I saw 12" dock timbers smashed like toothpicks from 17' waves in Ashland. These waves in this video are what you'll find in lake winnebago with 25 mph winds. Not good if you're in a 17' boat, but you're not going to die if you know your stuff.
Blah blah blah
@@Mike-lt6sjblah u never seen true big waves bet
Those ain’t huge Bro
Ok circus clown huge is when u blow bubbles in ur bath tub when the preacher comes ovee
6ft rollers
As u were looking up from ur knees giving the preacher a report lol
4 ft white caps seem like 8 footers, I've seen the lake go from flat to hell in 15 minutes, definetally have to watch the weather clos;ley
This isn't even that bad, I've been in lake Ontario in my 85hp 15 foot crestliner back when I was in my early 20s. This is pretty normal haha
Not bad at all...
😂👍
Ok Junior mister i work best on my knees 😮
That's a small cabin cruser
Where's the 12 ft waves?
GLB Woodsbum: We need to contact OJ to see if he can help us find them.
In ur mom bath tub with u with ur rubber ducky as u eat peanuts
I wonder what method folks use to measure waves from a boat.......
The buoy
@@wldproductions measured it with his upside down backwards sunvisor. Waves ain't even 6 foot
Honestly people on here cannot judge the wave height by a video. Waves are usually bigger than what you think it is on video. Erie is no joke when it gets rough out there. I would say 6-8 foot but again I cannot honestly judge by this video footage. Good size boat they had also. Been out in a 16.5 foot boat in 3-5's These are bigger than those were.
Thank you! You are totally right.
lake superior waves can get to 30 feet tall [:
lake erie waves are match lake superior waves
Absolutely not 8-12’
It’s a big boat
