• Boat Responsibly - Alw...
My dad and I were fishing in Toledo Bend in 2018 when this occurred. I bypassed donning my usual safety precautions because I was distracted and it almost cost us our lives. Despite having been on the water my whole life, I didn't truly know how unforgiving the water could be and how quickly things can go wrong. ALWAYS wear your kill switch, life jacket and other PPE and know your equipment! Big thanks to the guys who picked us up that day, they probably saved our lives. - Авто та транспорт
That guy who picked you up and helped you james bond style re board your boat has the all time greatest fishing story EVER.
lmao
FR! What a legend
And nobody would have believed it if it weren't all on camera.
And hopefully a couple cases of beer to tell it over.
@@NovemberFoxtrotRC cases of beer!? I think he is at least due a case of nice bourbon. Saved your bass boat and your ass's...I guess you could say he saved your bASS's!
Yikes!!! I'm going out to buy me a killswitch, and I don't even own a boat.
Joseph I just spit out my drink. Lol
I know right. I'm gonna put a kill switch on everything I own now.
BAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Your a smart man!
Hahahaha lol
Hats off to the boat owner for swallowing his pride and showing this video to teach us all a good lesson and saving a few lives also.
Swallowing his pride? 😂 He only posted it for views and to be cool and show off his expensive and fast boat.
Captain Calamity always shares the ships log.
He's probably out on the lake again risking other peoples lives driving like a maniac.
@@JustAnotherConspiracyTheorist Sounds like a bad place to kayak.
What an idiot more money than brains..
DISCLAIMER- “NO FISH WERE CAUGHT IN THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO”
Props to manning up and posting this. It takes balls to post your mistakes for others to learn by.
True that, i give him props too.
I was thinking the same thing. ....
This vid should save at help at least one person. I was just got my 1st boat. 50 hp 15 foot bass boat. No doubt Im installing of killswitch I can attach to my clothes.
@@John-uj9zy I have an old 1959 StarCraft with an early 80s Johnson 50. When I let pressure off the throttle, it backs down slowly up idle. Not sure is that's a safety feature or a defect in my controls, works out either way.
Steve is that you in the video? Are you just trying to save face? LOL! 😄.
I saw a boat going in circles like this once and my Dad and I went to check it out. The man went overboard and was drowning with no life jacket and apparently he couldn't swim. Only the tip of his nose was out of the water and his face was under water looking like he was already gone. We grabbed him and pulled him onto our boat, he was still alive but in severe shock thinking he was already a gonner. As we went to take him back to shore I decided to be the hero twice and rescue his boat as it was doing the same circle as this video. I grabbed the rope hanging off the front of his boat once we matched the speed and the guy jumped over and finally got it turned off. What a day I'll never forget. He still calls me every year or so to update me on his life, and thanking his lucky stars we showed up that day.
Tonight on “This never happened!”
@@NorcalFreediver piss off idiot. Like I’m going to waste my time making this up.
@@NorcalFreediverlmao facts
That re-boarding was ballsy. Mad props to the other boat driver too. That was some skills getting that close & keeping it stable.
for real! Gr8 captain m8
When he put his head down after stopping the boat. I could feel the relief, embarrassment, shame, gratitude, and shock all together in that small moment.
Yup
Embarrassment? Shame? For what?
@@jonnydanger7181 For not using his brain and putting the kill switch? You realize how lucky he got that it was just doing donuts? It could have straightened out and killed somebody. But luckily it didn't. Glad everyone made it out ok.

Sorry I'm watching on a phone without glasses. But I should have realized how big it was by the way they were going across the lake at warp factor 5.
Thanks for posting this and reminding us how dangerous boating can be. It takes a lot of guts to man up and learn from our mistakes, and to help others learn from them as well.
Derek Ng it’s generally only dangerous because there are idiots like this out there.
The man was a idiot and didn't use his kill switch cord
For sure. We've all done dumb shit at some point (maybe many lol) in our lives, just not thinking about the worse case. Glad the guys were safe and had others nearby to 'fast n furious' that thing.
Derek Ng na homie u don’t learn from ur mistakes boating or you’ll have no boat or dead at this point ... specially in our caribbean waters , u avoid mishaps by using common sense ! U do not fuck around in the ocean / water etc
Foot petal and lanyard.
That is the best fishing technique i have ever seen. Fishes never expected that.
I always wonder if fish have like a local fish gathering, like a tavern of such, and ask, “have you been caught lately?”
So THAT'S why bass fishermen need a 250-300HP motor! :)
Haha I always wondered that too
Never not gonna let those bass get away!
They do it because they are timed from start to finish and the longer you navigate to the spot the less time your line is in the water
Who knew bass swam so fast? 😳😳🧐😂😂
It's to catch you dumb asses on jet skis how do you think he knew how to board back on his boat. Cuz we've had to take a dumbass jet skiers same way
I usually don't dive in after the fish I use a fishing rod.
The future is now, old man.
It's a tactical advantage. The fish would never suspect it
Boring. You're never gonna catch the big ones if you don't dive in.
zzztubazzz YOU DONT KNOW FUCKING SARCASM! Damn people these days
@@crankinbass5758 It's a YT comment section, not a MENSA meeting. They're lucky they can pound the keys with their feet, form words and string together sentences!!
How are people not saying how awesome of a driver that guy in the tracker was.
Good catch.! The guy was on a mission. Ya just GOTTA help someone, even if they were being stupid. Y'all called me, on my previous comment of just letting a jack off, sink. I'm a better person than to do that, & I apologise to any offended.

Thanks to the guy in the other boat. The foolish guy in his go fast boat owes him.
@@stevenhayes8431 The boat operator stepped up & was very humbled & grateful to be alive, along with his Dad. He posted this in hopes of spreading the word safety, in a couple aspects.
As a long time fisherman , boater and former rescue diver you would be amazed at how few people use that pesky little kill switch lanyard . Along with that the lack of life jacket use unbelievable . As others have said , thanks for the driver for posting this .
I would go buy a kill switch cable but I own a kayak. Thank you for sharing! Wonderful to see so many boaters come to your aid. The Tracker boat driver was skilled and your jump made Tom Cruise jealous!!!
The driver of the second boat needs to apply to Blue Angels. Excellent formation driving and good throttle control.
Agreed 100%
The jumper impressed me too
Haha have you driven before? It's not hard
@@thomaspayne6866 Impressed me too. Im pretty sure the jumper is the driver and op. The boat was going 30mph and constantly turning!
Right on!
Co-angler: I want to be close to the fish as fast as possible
Driver: say no more
anthony hill 🤣😂😅👍🏻
😂😂😂😂
Copilot: I wonder what the water temperature is?
Pilot : I don't know. let's find out.... together
😆😂😭
The best😂😂😂
Thanks for posting. I have a kill switch, with tether, on my boat and a self inflating life vest. Up until now I have used neither. Have watched a couple videos like this where good people made the mistake of not using the safety features at hand. From now on I will be using the aforementioned safety equipment when at speed. Glad you both survived!
Even with proper killswitch usage and self inflating pfds, 60+ mph on the water is dangerously fast, even if your boat is designed for it and you have lots of practice and training. I will never understand what makes people feel invincible.
I'm 58 years old and been fishing power boats my whole life. I was almost in tears when I watched the driver go through all those emotions when he was able to stop his boat and no-one got injured or killed. Lesson learned and believe it or not, the power of this video has probably saved more than one life. Someone's Dad, brother, father or son went home to fish another day, because he wore his lanyard and his PFD. Glad you made it.
Thanks for the comment Michael. Hopefully you're right and there are some that can learn from my stupidity.
@@mbbroussard Not stupidity. A mistake. I felt what you felt when you shut it down and laid across the seat. Your were shaken by the fact that either or both of you could have been killed. Your were both wearing good pfds. Glad you were ok.
Guess who's using the killswitch from now on.
😂
Me as well!
Who?
He probably sold the boat and changed hobby after that
Todd m wat m8
The boat is like "See ya, I'm going to find a real driver."
@@stefandwoodham
how about a kill switch
@@stefandwoodham LOL must of been you on the boat.
It drove by itself smarter than the driver.
Also remember when you can't get it to restart, wiggle that killswitch to make sure it's connected right. We had a tow back to the dock and a drive to the repair shop just to show us the killswitch was 1/2 pulled out.
That's why you never pull out...
That was awesome! Glad no one injured during the filming. Mad boating skills by your “rescuer”. All around incredible to watch.
Yes it wasn’t a good move not using the kill switch, but he had the balls to post this to scare some sense into us! Thanks
Ballsy to own up to this, man of good character:)
Narcissist
Its the new boat owner who post this video.
Looks like a seat belt would have kept the old guy from flying across and knock the pilot out of his seat .
Just sayin...
@@AJCsr u do not want to be strapped in on a boat for many reasons
When you just gotta get to that secret spot in 1.6 seconds.
Yeah I'll never understand the need to haul ass at 65 mph to get to a fishing spot unless it's on the highway. Lol
DL86 I’d rather crash on water, than on any highway.
(already have many times, even back when I was in my teens, from my crazy uncle behind the wheel of his 78’ fiberglass jet boat lol)
Have you ever road on a jet ski, on a glassy morning on a coastline. Then as you are turning, run over a seaweed patch?
Well, it’s an experience worth having at least once for the thrill of it.
I did it once, and I started rally drifting on it. Like surreal feeling, smooth sliding, and it turned my jet ski into a salad shooter until I got out of the seaweed patch...
Hell of a moment lol
That's slow... When ur doing 85 mph then it gets better
Traffic was a fucking nightmare
S A what jet ski does 100. Every one I ever rode tops out at like 60-75
Respect to the driver for sharing this video. A valuable learning lesson.
Worried more about the go-pro angles than the safety lanyard. Ended up making asses out of themselves beautifully on camera!
You handled that jump like a boss. Good job man
If you mean handling a grade A self induced fuckup.
@Bennybass correct....we live, we learn, and we readjust.
For real should be able to audition for a stuntman in the next fast and furious movie
A very dangerous jump.
nice stunned jump! but inches away from going back to the water
"Oh, that kind of thing will NEVER happen to me, I don't need to put that dumb thing on my wrist." 😁

John Jesus, Irony evades ye’!
Thats happened to me before..
Whoa that’s scary, so glad you guys are ok ! Luckily other boater was close by 🙏thanks for sharing just shows how quickly things can go wrong.
We all know the guy who jumped in the boat was singing mission impossible music in his head.
Love how the motor just trims down by itself 💀
I know, I was wondering why??
The boat has other ideas than going fishing. 😂
Thanks for posting Michael. Many wouldn't I'm sure but its an absolute eye opener and reminder to wear jackets and the kill switch. Glad you two are ok.
now I'm on my way outside to the ol bass boat so I can re-engage my killswitch that I disengaged years ago
Well I am officially going to be wearing my killswitch every time I am driving the boat so thank you for that sir!
How does a killswitch work exactly, is it like a lanyard connected to the key and your wrist ?
@@1lifeonearth nah. It can be anything. A tag attached to your shirt. It's basically a magnet attached with a lanyard, if you get ripped off the magnet comes lose and kills the engine
They should include a copy of this video with every Deadman switch
Gets back on boat, takes off life jacket...
thx for uploading! its not the failures... which are our problem, but the sharing and caring... which we are lacking. merci!!!
There’s nothing like the relief/satisfaction of overcoming a significant challenge on the water. Spend enough time on it and you’ll find yourself in some interesting scenarios eventually. Thanks for posting the video, hopefully others will learn from your mistake.
Damn, that costed him 20min of fishing. Probably missed the bite
LMAO
BAHAHA
🤣
🤣
YESSS😂😂
Thanks for posting! A great warning to all boaters and anglers. Glad it turned out the way it did.
You know after 45 mph the Angel's get out.
That is why I have stuck with my 1992 Nitro 160tf. with a 2012 75hp Evinrude. It goes 42mph.
Well that and I get physically ill every time I see the ridiculously insane price of a new boat.
I bought that Nitro in 1996 barely used. for $5000.
So I find it necessary to do 60 when trolling for fish too! The boat sets the hook for you.
Just some friendly kidding there, glad everyone is okay!
lmao, imagine pulling a line out and just seeing a string of fish heads.
Why do you care to comment? Your obviously jealous or a socialist. There’s people that work there ass off all weak and there day on the lake helps them get rid of the stress of every day life. Same as owning a fast car or motorcycle. Or a RV for that matter. Also he’s not trolling he’s heading cross lake to hit a fishing spot do you see him dragging lines? WTF? Is the matter with people these days?
@@jmjimbo ouch. I think you took this guy's sarcasm the wrong way. Just saying. At the end of his comment, if you read into it that far, you'd see he said "just some friendly kidding there. Glad everyone was ok."
Nothing there that should get you that triggered.
Everyone was fine and I'm sure even the driver of the boat is poking jokes about it now that it's over and no one got hurt.
Your reaction at the end said it all.....grateful for the outcome!
Team Tracker to the rescue! Another reminder of how important your kill switch is.
Bassamatic FPV maybe do a helmsman boating course. Kill switch or not it’s ridiculous the speed he commenced the turn.
Yea those older hulls are to light and sketchy for these new motors.
I never have sympathy for idiots who ignore safety devices. Never saw my dad use a kill switch once growing up so I’m lucky to be alive and I would never endanger my kids like that.
Damn, up to 3G as they were tossed out. Holy!
Thanks for posting it, it's a good reminder for everyone.
Never understood the need for all that HP and speed to go catch fish!!
My buddy and I call them ‘NASCAR on the water.’
Tournament fishermen use that speed to get to their spot before someone else does. In a field of over 100 boats, it literally pays to get to honey holes first.
The fishing is an excuse to go boating. Who wants to fish if you can drive a boat😂😂
Brian Hendriks I would have 0 desire of owning a boat if it weren’t for fishing.
@Ron Onderweg tourney fishermen don't keep the fish and first place usually pays out in the thousands. How is winning money more expensive than buying fish at Costco? Especially when the object isn't to keep fish...
Late post but that God you guys survived. Looked like OG Pops saw it coming too, when he started pointing that way to clear the marker a few moments before the wipeout
Props to you for posting this - it's not easy to admit mistakes, much less share the story to help others. Super glad that you and your father made it through this, and I will use more caution after having watched this. Tight lines!!
They are lucky the prop didn't hit them with the initial fall.
They went sideways on a bow wave of another vessel off board very unlikely to get hit by the prop.
@@wertfreund2480 unlikely yes but not impossible.
@@nolanmartin4813 that's what I meant.
@@wertfreund2480 🤡👌
They sprung for the fancyass auto-inflate lifejackets, but not the $10 key lanyard that would have prevented this. Noice.
He writes that he had one, just forgot to clip it on...and then they take the lifejackets off before they get back to solid land, I'm guessing they did the rest of the trip at a pretty sedate speed but still gotta think they're not at the top of their game for the rest of the trip.
This guy needs a kill switch for each passenger.
Great lesson for us all. Thanks for sharing. Glad yall weren't hurt.
Is there any "best approach method" for boarding like this? I would think being on the outside of the out of control boat rather than on the inside is the better course of action. That way you can always turn out of it. Any thoughts on this?
That jump back on the boat was perfect tho!!! 😂😂😂
That was the save of the century..lol..
Those guys were very courageous, looks easy but was extremely dangerous . Great save, well done.
If he missed, he would have put himself right back in the path of the boat and there's no way he'd move fast enough. This could have ended up ugly.
Hey bud. Now that your back in the boat you should play with the GPS some more while going super fast😂

What caused them to fall out?
guy in yellow life jacket, takes moment of silence to thank god he landed the jump and stopped the boat
Lesson learned.....the hard way. I'm glad that you're both safe and sound 👍
Thanks for sharing your experience, Michael. Of course you’ll get comments from smartasses (like me!) but this really can serve as a valued lesson. Shit happens faster than we think.
That guy risked his life to save a boat that wasn't his and that was owned by a guy that he didn't know. That's a hero.
Im so glad no one was hurt on that wild ride. So cool to see him jump onto the boat and slow it down

Not wearing your kill switch wasn't your biggest mistake. That is some of the most irresponsible driving of a bass boat I've ever seen. You need to take it down a peg or 3 before you get yourself or someone else killed.
There is a certain way to drive a bass boat idiot

@@sockbandit9623 lil pod Thai..........Kid......you don't even have a clue what you're talking about. Yes, there IS a proper way to operate a bass boat or any other boat that is capable of high speeds. Ya need to know how to use that trim button in relation to the speed you are traveling at all times among other things. Especially with an outboard of 200hp or more.
@@mfmax3452 Just F*cking Send it........you're right.......and "lil pod Thai" is indeed a clueless idiot.

Man the ghost driving the boat ain’t doing to shabby
+1 for admitting you screwed up.
They didn't screw up that was an advertisement for the new iPhone app kill switch two.
Ahhhh.. I'd be more scared losing my tackle box.
There is probably some sensible reason that I can't remind myself of at the moment about why boats don have seat belts. However, I have seen enough these videos where people are thrown from a boat, that doesn't capsize. Thus other than a situation where the boat capsized, seat belts could prevent some possible injuries, deaths, and lastly people get wet.
Passenger was like "I need a hug NOW!"
This has happened to me in a smaller boat.. all i can say is this
People in one piece
Boat in one piece
LUCKY..
Yep

A good day fishing IN the boat is better than a day OUT of the boat is better than a day at work?
Wow do u write the endings to novels?
BJB dont be a jerk. They were very lucky this didnt end worse than it did, If you were in their situation you would feel very very lucky
This happened to a guy down the street and his neighbor that lived behind him. separate boats, the neighbor got tossed. His boat ran over him, then kept hitting his body. The guy down the street finally rammed the circling boat and got it stopped. Kill switches weren't a thing back then.
Did the boat kill him that it kept running him over?
@@danbraun8430 Yes it did.
@@tbirdracefan I am taking my boat out today and guess what I am using my kill switch after reading this. I am sorry about your neighbor
We've all driven without a killswitch. Glad you saved it.

Eagle1 You must be a blast at parties
That face when he finnaly stops the boat i know that face.. its the wheres my beer and couch face cause im watching fishing for a while
Jejejejeje
Wow, lucky to be alive and still have a boat in one piece. Definitely the ultimate use a kill switch reminder.
Why did the boat randomly trim itself and start to take off again with no one at the controls
Epic jump tho by the boys in green tho 🤣🤣
Sully Scott same guy who was driving originally
Hammer Head true I didn’t even notice that
1 "tho" would've sufficed.
TheOneTheOnly W god thank you.
Thanks for posting, I only have a 40 hp but you can bet from now on I'll have that kill switch attached. Anything can happen!
Ah, the circle of death everyone with a boating license learned about...
We had a v drive wake boat for several years. After seeing a guy get ejected from his and it ram into several boats and docks, I clipped the kill switch lanyard to the zipper on the pocket of my board shorts every time before I put it in gear. I asked an insurance adjuster a couple years later if not wearing the kill switch effected any claims from damage done if the driver loses control. He said he had seen claims denied because the boat driver had been through boaters safety and didn’t wear the kill switch. That can expensive real quick!
Complacency, we are all guilty of having it.
Luck, Some have none but you both had it that day.
Angels, they were near by.
Glad you’re both safe .
^^^ THIS comment.
It was like texting and driving also, he was fiddling with that gps or fish finder. Not paying attention..
We need the ride back to the dock video 😂😂😂 bet it was slow and quiet hahaha
Holy crap that was nuts. It also makes me appreciate my current fishing rig. Shallow V aluminium boat that used to be used for river rescue. It'll only go 38-40MPH but it is nice and predictable in its handling. No more prop blow outs, no skips, etc. I've spent enough time going 65mph in a ranger with my dad to appreciate the amount of boat/prop/center rib and a trim that is fixed position.
I also remember being a dumb kid and rambonavyseal rolling out of that ranger with my buddies going 30-35mph. Its like a belly dive on concrete from the 2nd story balcony. Sorry man. Unless you all landed just right, that sh*t had to hurt. Good on you for sharing because I see a lot of tourney guys driving like idiots. Maybe you'll knock a few hot shots down a peg. Supposed to enjoy fishing.
The guy that jumps on the boat should be in the next fast and furious.
That was the original driver that got back on after being bucked off by 250 horses.
Thank you for sharing your mishap, you have created a great learning video that can save the lives and convince others of a boating safety behavior. Thanks for wearing your lifejackets.
Rough way to test your PFDs. Yikes!! I always try to remember to hook my kill switch back on body, but dang easy to forget. Glad ya'll are ok.
Bro the way he just went limp after jumping and stopping his boat, I felt that.
When your favorite tackle box goes overboard and you try to dive in to get it.
Lanyards have one major design flaw...to work, THEY NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE DRIVER!
"Honey, how was fishing?"
"Not bad, caught 4 bass 2 crappie and a Bass boat "
He will never forget his tether again
Early in my medical career I saw the aftermath of an accident like this. The boater tried to climb back in and lost his leg when the prop tore it off.
This dude was literally an inch from missing the boat diving right into the wake of the prop
the truth He was definitely lucky!
Should've just waiting untill the fuel/battery was empty. It was only doing circles anyways
The whole time the passenger had the "I think we're going too fast" face on
Mad props to the guy in the tracker
The way I see it, that guy got himself a new bass boat.
