Im sorry if I stirred it up by say you should have had your kill switch attached, it just bothers me to know that this happened to you. so many other times its human error and I spoke out of line and jumped to conclusions. Again I am thankful to our great GOD above that yall are ok. Please Please Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEAR A LIFE VEST NEXT TIME!!! AND MAKE SURE ITS THE MOST GOD AWFUL BIG ORANGE THING YOU CAN FIND!!! I have been through numerous water survival situations and its hard to find a camo vest in the water or woods for that matter. I know there a pain and they don't look cool, but there designed to save lives.

Again I am sorry if I made it look different but also thanking the Lord above your all alive.

Glad y'all are ok. Its a scary situation for sure! A friend of mine and I were riding in a bass boat during spring and the throttle cable broke at full speed and the key didn't shut it off and we were able to pull the gas line. Everyone isn't as lucky HE has a plan for ya. :wink:

I would also like to thank john summerville, Karen, and Chase for reacting so quickly and getting Wesley and myself out of that cold water. Wesley did everything possible in the amount of time we had to get the boat stopped. Thank the Lord for having his hand on us. Thank you guys for your concern.

Scary story with happy ending. I completely understand your feeling for your dog. They give us so much but they also depend on us for everything. We never want to let them down. I am so happy that you and your hunting buddy and dog are all safe.

I hope this accident will open all of our eyes and relize how important safety is. I hope all of you will wear life jackets. That water took so much out of me in a matter of minutes. If it wasn't for the quick response time of Chase and John I think this story could have had a horrible ending. I apperciate all of the concerns.
