Entirely too light of a punishment in my opinion.
I'm surprised they made the decision but it's the right one. A lot of guys were wanting a lifetime ban imposed which I knew wouldn't happen.
Why both boaters? I haven’t heard what the guy who got ran over did wrong?

Been fishin' since I was 5 years old...Thanks Grandpa!
A year is a little light in my opinion, should have been 5 years.
Lives could have been lost very easily for being stupid.
Hi Mike.
It is nothing but a slap on the wrist, they will just go to another organization. I am pretty sure that I will never draw out as a co-angler again after seeing this kind of stuff. It is pretty obvious that these boat operators are egomaniacs with no common sense, add the allure of money and fame, and you have a disaster waiting to happen.
If they have the nerve to sign back up after their suspensions, I sincerely hope any and all co-angers refuse to get in the boat with them.
Article stated "... suspended from all MLF tournaments for at least one year."
Regardless, seems waaay too light of a "punishment". Admittedly planning to break a rule that could easily have resulted in personal injury/loss of life... to me, that should have been a no-brainer permanent ban.
It will be interesting to see if any of those involved file some sort of legal charges against Succi and/or Reed.
Have there been any charges levied by local law enforcement on one/both drivers?

wonder if the co-anglers will be filing a suit...
.
unbelievable how lenient that is. I'm sure this will put a stop to all the reckless driving in these tournaments. Way to send a message MLF!
