No one mentioned this....

Had not heard of this.

I do know one more cast or it does not look as bad as they say is something we've all said or done.

I respect both Jason and Ron as fishermen, if only on what I have read of their experience and reputation from years on the water. So we are missing some of the story here, IMO. 2-4' I could see them venturing out to fish. 8-10' I would expect they would not have ventured out of the river. So did it build quickly while they were out? Possibly. We will hear more on this from Ron, as he said in his OTW report.
That said, I am not going to be heading into 8-10' unless I am the only one in a position to save a life. And I wonder if I would be able to make that decision, quite honestly......
Sorry he lost the boat. Glad they are safe. I am sure they are embarrassed, second guessing, pissed off or any combination of the above. Best thing we can do is learn from their mishap.

My two worse experiences on OTW were both between the mouth & Gooseberry .
Its been a very long time . But I,ll never forget them .

maybe that,s why I don,t even try to go outside with a big heave .

I might be a little nuts .But I always respect the ocean .Really glad no lives were lost ><><
