If that was you that got ran over I give you mad props you a very calm person!!! Mad props on that because I know I would have been flipping out cutting out every person!!
If it was you did you ever get your ore back?

That wasn't me, just something I thought should be shared.

No, I would not be that mellow..

I would have stayed calm and called to cops afterwards too. That other driver looked like the antagonist in a rob zombie movie. I ain't becoming some back woods weirdos next science project!

Thanks for sharing that, just a reminder to keep and eye and ear out at all times, this is a great
example, I believe the yakker was toatally prepared, flag, light pfd, phone,
video footage, all check check, luckily unscathed, except for the rudder and yak damage, could have been alot worse, looks like he has all the necessary proof to be reimbursed...you just never know, so hopefully everyone thinks about this when OTW, in the open ocean it could get alot uglier....careful out there guys and gals

That is a lucky guy...

He was a couple of inches away from death, or paralyzed for life.

Looks like those 2 knuckle heads were going to drive off and leave him there.

I guess those bright orange flags don't mean much if the guy driving the boat is not looking where he is going.

not even a bad word.... wow..... had it been me, the F-Bombs would have been flying.

I think he handled it perfectly. He stayed calm and did not retaliate, and he has the impact on video and a photo of the two and the boat for further id purposes. If he got the hull numbers then he could report them as a hit and run and has video proof of it. He's lucky to be alive.

When I was fishing the OEX Mission Bay tourney a few weeks ago one of those rowing people ran in to me with their boat because they were not watching where she was going, and she even admitted that it was her fault.

No damage to the Kayak at all but she was worried that she hurt her rowing boat.
Like Andy said keep your head on a swivel when out where PBers are present.

I don't know about you guys but aside from putting a couple of .45's in the bottom of their boat (I'm legaly licenced to carry), I would have pulled out my flare gun and marked the boat! (providing they were leaving the "scene of the accident") 'cause that's just irresponsible and inappropriate.
FFY.

Cool customer to say the least, kept fishing. I think I would have reeled up.
