Ike Wreck's On the Sabine

From B.A.S.S.
Lucky this wasn't worse.  Apparently he hit something and lost control.  I'm guessing his day is over.

Update: Blogger Chris McDonald wrote a post saying something should be done.  Personally I disagree. Anglers and their riders except the risk going in. Even riding in a boat going 20 miles an hour can be dangerous if you hit something. It's like wringing our hands over a car accident when some one was following all laws. Accidents happen.

Shinichi "Shin" Fukae's Wrecked Bass Boat!

(Photo taken from message board, don't know original source)


Yesterday at the FLW Tournament on Kentucky Lake Shin Fukae struck the Highway 79 Bridge near Paris, Tenn somehow and this is his boat in the aftermath. I haven't seen any reports yet about what happened, but apparently some people are trashing Shin on some online message boards. Shin was only slightly injured, but the camera man wasn't so lucky and received internal injuries from hitting the console. Neither person was ejected from the boat. I am guessing the camera man would have been in much worse shape if there wasn't a console. As of the latest word the camera man is in ICU, but it sounds like he will be OK.

Here is a story from The Paris Post-Intelligencer. With an explaination of what happened. It kind of sound like this could have turned out far worse as they just missed a full head on impact with the bridge.
