...why would you admit your history of reckless boating behavior in a public forum while attempting to make a large insurance claim?

I'm glad you're OK, but we fish that entire stretch from a boat all the time, and would never get that tight in to create such a risk. Good thing you were fishing alone - that's just reckless and unnecessary.

Good luck with your claim -
