I can tell you from first hand experience that these thing are life altering events. I was in a terrible accident in which 2 friends of mine were in one boat and me and another friend in mine. We were fishing a club tourney shortly after blast-off he tried to pass me on the right while I was making a right turn. His partner(one of my friends) was ejected, hit a bridge piling and died. Turns out they thought we were going to the same fish. I always thought I was a good driver, safe, etc. Even though I was not at fault in the accident the effects were tramatic for me and my fellow club members as well as all the families involved. No alcohol,No drugs, Just too much adrenline and testostorne. I am sure Jim Hebert and some of the guys from Gonzales, La. can attest to what I am telling you. Been 10 Years and just like it was yesterday. I can say I am much more contious of what others are doing now and have a new appreciation of what can happen. I do know now stuff like this doesnt just happen to others. Please keep what I have told you here in mind and believe me when I say it can happen to you!Doug Mcgee
