These are pics of the Champion and Blazer that were involved in the accident on Fork Yesterday. Gerald McSchooler was driving the Champion and was fatally injured. His early 20's nephew, who was with him had minor injuries and survived. The Captain of the blazer had serious injuries and is still in the hospital in Tyler as far as I know. I post these pics as a reminder to us all that the high performance Bass boats we drive out there are serious machines that require us all to be professional operators. Let us never allow ourselves to become complacent behind the helm of these powerful machines. Please be safe, and let's keep the families, and all involved in our prayers.

I've run that spot a million times even at night and never came close to hitting someone. I guess I'm lucky? I truely feel bad for all involved in it. A sad story...
