JP Derose boat accident

[tightline]

Was just chatting up a few friends of mine who were in the Dog Lake CBAF tourny on the weekend and heard a pretty interesting little tale.

 

Turns out JP Derose and the new BassCat weren't getting along to well!!! The way I heard it is he was trying to pass another angler on the water, when the BassCat bounced sideways throwing him and his co-angler out of the boat at top speed!!! My roomate who was there says everybody came out unharmed (by the grace of God) and the boat was recovered...guess JP wasn't wearing his kill switch tether

 

I just want to remind everybody to be safe out there it can happen to any of us anytime, I mean JP spends hours and hours on the water every week and wether it was bad luck or bad choices him and his co angler sure got lucky. Be smart and be safe

[corvette1]

thats not good i think its called my bad

[bassman]

Looks like it knocked him out of the tourney as well (results below). I don't recall JP ever finishing last. At least the boat didn't hurt anyone. KILL SWITCH PAL!!!

Hopefully JP and his partner are okay!

[Roy]

Yeah, I hope so. Sometimes you feel ok for a while then something comes back to haunt you.

[steverowbotham]

While it is an unfortunate occurance and there is a lesson to be learned, I dont think its right to call him out like this on a public forum that he contributes to. Hope everyone is okay.

You got that more than right, Steve.

[Twocoda]

its a double edged sword being in the limelight...kinda goes with the territory i would think...a nascar driver has no embarrassment when it comes to a mishap...anything that moves on this planet is subjected to some sort of misfortune at some point ...hope the two of them are alright and the damage is minimal if any..

 

get back on the horse (so to speak) and get them next tourney

[bassman]

Here's a pic from the incident. It appears JP and his partner are doing fine.

Dude I dont know what to say to this, I can tell you that a kill switch(tether) wouldnt have kept him in the boat.

Im glad no one was hurt and they can fight another day.

coming down sideways is like hitting a brick wall im glad they ejected clear

[Lunkerhunter]

yikes, that doesnt sound like much fun, i hope you are alright JP! same goes for your partner.

Wonder where the second place dudes partner is ??

[tightline]

While it is an unfortunate occurance and there is a lesson to be learned, I dont think its right to call him out like this on a public forum that he contributes to. Hope everyone is okay.

 

I wasn't calling out anyone, I was just saying if a guy like JP can have it happen it can happen to anyone.

I wasn't at all making it personal nor do I feel the need to continue to rant about it.

[ohhenrygsr]

Yes, As long as they are both ok that's what matters the most. We are all human and make mistakes.

[tightline]

You got that more than right, Steve.

 

Same thing...wasn't calling out anyone...if it were Bob Iszumi or Chronzy or anyone else I would have posted as well

[mikeh]

I agree, also I think using the title that you chose is a little tacky , I guess you thought it was funny when you typed it.

[SlowPoke]

Bob and Daryl have a much lower center of gravity; not likely to be thrown out

I think the important question that hasn't been asked is, is the boat okay?

It surprises me that this doesn't happen more often. It's become as much of a race as it is a fishing derby! Let's go all the way with it; a Le Mans start with racers fishermen sprinting to thier tow vehicles and launching the boats (like Bronte at the begining of the GOSD only with better parking!).

Hopefully this becomes a memory JP and Greg can laugh about and not a malady they'll be moaning about for years to come.

JP I hope your friend and you are ok. We love what you do. We all need to be careful out there.

[bassman]

It's a suiting and humorous title, and nobody got hurt.

Tightline, thanks for reminding us about being safe and smart out on the water.

[danbouck]

Glad nobody got hurt. J.P. will be able to use this experience to teach a lot of people about safety on the water.

[BillM]

Nothing wrong with having a laugh at someone else's expense once in a while

 

As long as JP and his partner are ok, I'm sure they'll be laughing at this also.

[misfish]

Wow hope your doing ok JP,and your partner aswell.

 

That must of been a scary ordeal. I hit a wake the wrong way on a blast off.Didnt go completely sideways,but close enough.Managed to save it. I had to regain my composure before heading off again.

 

Again, hope your both doing well.

[aniceguy]

if someone can find humour in something very similiar to this then hey I dont get the joke

 

While Im sure it was no where as severe as the video I ll wager it wasnt far off either

 

still funny?

That was the vid that came to me right off the bat Milo.

[Fang]

Anyone that has done a serious bass tourney or two can attest that even with a rolling start it's not always a smooth take off and clean water. Coming out of Hastings on Rice Lake was always my least favourite place and I'd be white knuckling it all the way. You never know how the water will react when boat wakes meet and you're caught between them.

 

Hope everything is all right for them.
