If you have questions--WATCH THE VIDEO. It is a good video with good information. Just not info about running in the fog.

Not sure how I would feel to see a video of my accident, as you are.
Watched the entire video and I'm glad you survived but more importantly I'm impressed with your drive & determination to keep moving forward. Godspeed in your continued recovery!
You just never know when your life is going to make a big left turn down a very bumpy road.
Don't worry Ma'am....
I'm only here for the Bass.
Crazy. Couldn’t watch the entire video, way to long. He said it was foggy but the video didn’t make it look very foggy. Also interesting as they knew the lake and sounded as they fished the dam before so knew it was there but no waypoints on it? Not sure how a dark rock wall would stand out in that little bit of fog. Crazy. Hope the guy fully recovers. Bet his pilot buddy feels like crap over this.

That boat came out of the fog into an area that was less foggy when you watch the zoomed in video. On the zoomed out vid look how heavy the fog is on the dry side of the dam opposite of where they wrecked. They went from no vision to holy shit in seconds.
Thanks for putting this out, it should be a must watch for new boaters and boat captains. In the mid 80’s I was fishing on the Cal Delta in the fog, I was about a typical pitch away from the bank an had a boat at full speed between me and the bank, they never saw us. Luckily we didn’t collide, just saying. Also I haven’t thought about Kieth G in a while, I miss him as well. Be careful everyone.
Watched it last night. That man is a hell of a fighter. Hope it hits home with a few people.
Keep fighting the good fight. Heal up soon.

Prayers for continued recovery - we have a lot of common acquaintances, and they still speak of your recovery and journey frequently. Thank you for sharing your experience. This is a dangerous sport.
Keep up the good fight Brady! Your recovery is inspiring. Your acknowledgment of mistakes and the dangers of running a boat are good lessons for us all. Most of us running high performance bass boats have done something we know wasn’t particularly safe at one time or another. Your accident is a reminder to bring it down a notch when the conditions dictate. Looking forward to seeing you running your own rig very soon!
My guess is he had GPS set to North up, was traveling South and the dam had not appeared at the bottom of the screen that he had his face buried in.
The dam should have been visible 70 - 100 yards ahead if he had been looking.

Hit the dam embankment at 40 miles an hour after entering a fog cloud. He was the passenger in the Caymas. You see him get thrown onto the rocks. He said it was 28 degrees when this happened. Busted him up really bad.
He should have not buried his face and helped his partner look ahead , or maybe just find a place to fish and wait out the fog , duh .
Wild story. It is crazy to me how you can live here, get into an accident and if you survive...you'll be financially wrecked like that.

When will people quit running in the fog. I feel terrible for the guy, but shouldn’t have been going more than 10mph in that.
