The thing that gets me is there is NO FISH worth risking your life for. If the ocean is bad I turn around and stay inside or go home. Save it for another day.
Thirty years ago when my father (rip) bought our first boat, the old timer at the shop looked me square in the eye, pointed his finger and said in a crusty old voice "RESPECT THE SEA".
Stuck with me,,,obviously...
Sad story, terrible to lose a life...
