brkygetr Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 That goes to show you how easy it would be to end in the drink for an extended period of time. I can honestly say I do not wear my jacket that often, mind you I am always within 2-300 yds of some sort of land mass (lots of islands, bays, and points on the lakes I fish), though it is vislible in the boat. Now I am not so sure that cuts it. Many times with the vastness of lakes and bays out here I will take off and tell my GF where I am planning on going and an expected return time. I feel this is a necessary action for the exact reasoning of this video. I know at some point, even with all precautions and unintentional errors I WILL get stuck out there for a night or 2, hopefully on land, but possibly in the drink. If that happens it makes me feel releived that there are people out there that are good at their job and will but forth the effort to get me back to my home and friends. 6000 lives over 30 years, is a lot of souls that got their feet back on dry land...hands down to you all that keep us safe out there. An exceptional job and keep it up, you have my support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeJ Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 EXCELLENT I hope ever boater and fisherman take the time to watch it. I had a very close call last summer 200 ft from shore fishing out of a canoe, no life jacket on one in the canoe, flip over no sign of life jack, my golden Lab sees me in the water he swims out and almost takes me under, he thinks its play time, my future son in law hears us, swims out and saves the day. Now for me and anyone in my boat= LIFE JACKET ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks. Boy does that really make me rethink my confidence level while fishing. I usually only wear the life jacket when moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutnMuskieHunter Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 What a great video ....kudos to you and the auxillary members that risk their lives for others!....very impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theRJ Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Great Video. Should make everyone who fishes without a jacket think about how quick the ish can hit the fan. I hate wearing a life jacket while fishing so my first purchase after getting a boat will be a CO2 inflatable jacket. I won't wear a normal jacket otherwise and IMHO my life is worth the extra dough to make sure I'm safe. RJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowPoke Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I didn't know what to expect when I clicked on the link! The message is clear; DON NOT LEND YOUR BOAT AND TRUCK TO FRIENDS! Great video Peter. I bought an inflatable PFD just for those occasions... I just have to start wearing it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Very well done Peter. You guys are worth your weight in gold A great service you do for society. So I almost had to laugh when the wife says her husband was supposed to be back 3 hours ago tho. When have you ever known a fisherman to come home on time All kidding aside, great video.
