Man Ejected From Boat! (Crazy!!!)

Just a few minutes after this yesterday’ take-off at Table Rock Lake, Skeet Reese witnessed an accident. Jeff, a local angler, was running just ahead of me when he hit a wake and lost control of his boat. Jeff was ejected, but thankfully he was wearing a life jacket and did not get seriously hurt other than some bumps and bruises. Also, his engine kill switch was attached, so ALWAYS wear your PFD and fasten that kill switch EVERY TIME. This could have been a real tragedy.

Thanks to all the other Bass Pro Tour Anglers that stopped to help out!

Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed leave a 👍

Kill switch check
Life jacket check
Alive to fish another day YES.

This is the huge difference between driving on the road and boating. You’ll be passed by 100 cars before someone stops to help when you’re broke down...However, when I’m on my boat and the engine takes a dive on me, maybe 3-5 boats pass before someone stops to help.
On the water, it’s mostly a circle of helpful people and when I see someone down, I stop to help, and others help me and I’m glad it works that way.
Thank you for being one of those guys for this poor man when he needed a helping hand himself.

Just for the record, he unfortunately had all my guns on his boat.

[mountainlaurel]

Great moves! You safely retrieved the man, and set a way point. Your deliberate ''Dont worry about the boat'' was a solidifying response to the victims comment. He was in shock and you were pragmatic and responsive. Way to go guys!

Imagine that .. you get into trouble you look up and skeet Reese is there to save your life .. Devine intervention

[ballzybaits]

Now he really can say he lost all his gun in an boating accident.


All joking aside, thank God he is ok.

[bigbensarrowheadchannel]

Kill switches and life jackets work. Thank God he was using both. And well done to the rescuers. Good on ya!!! We gotta watch out for each other.

This happened to my dad. The real sting is towing home an empty boat trailer. Obviously someones life is always more important than the boat. Although it’d be a genius idea to have gas charged air bags to keep it from sinking

[mikelabelle]

Thank God these guys were there! Right place right time and good people. Way to go.

I worked at a marina one year and an elderly married couple capsized their sailboat in the middle of the lake. They were in their 80s at the time, and they were way out and if we didn't see the mast turn over and keel come up I don't know if we would have seen them... it was the movement that caught our eyes. Luckily we got in a boat and got to then. Neither one were wearing life jackets, and when I pulled the wife out she had no strength left. It was so scary pulling up on that boat and yelling for them.. they were on the opposite side trying to hang on to anything so we didn't see them at first. Keep those life jackets within reach folks, and definitely wear them if you're running like this guy was.

[codyshannon]

You guys are absolutely heroes. ❤🙏 thank lord you were there, that man's life was saved that day!

[mokushme]

Had to get a way point asap because that boat structure is going to hold some pretty nice fish.

[aaronholbrook]

Awesome people doing extraordinary things! Skeet is awesome!

[Kyle_Lowrey]

That's how fast it can happen. Make no mistake your boat can sink like an anchor. Thank God this man was doing things right and they were there to help. Wow..

[ronarch]

WOW Rolled over quick. Had Bass Boats many years, can not remember ever seeing this happen before. Lucky another boat was nearby 👍👍

[russb]

Thank God the driver was ok
Thumbs up but I did not enjoy watching that! Great job Skeet!

[roosterbox]

this is great we do have good people on earth that cares about someone they don't no. To turn and head to something that just happen and be ready to help no matter what that is great to see.

[jimquantic]

Boaters, think about it. Life Jacket--kill switch, now they can talk about it, rather than have a funeral and all the terrible "what if" thoughts. I'll toss in, just my opinion, don't boat alone, if you don't have to

[MeteoricStoneofSouls]

I could literally feel his heart sink when it flipped upside down. I'd probably cry.

[rdonner]

Wow! From a learning perspective what happened for the driver to get ejected? This knowledge maybe helpful for new operators like myself. Awesome rescue and staying calm from everyone!
