Thanks for real info and for your friend.......Guys, one of the injured coanglers is my best friend and travel partner for this event and many other throughout the years. Takeoff had nothing to do with the wreck, neither did fog. It was raining and my friend said he was bundled up with his hood cinched down and had his head down while they were running in a straight line. We all have done this when we are the passenger and not driving. He didn't see it coming and woke up in the water. He had a vest type PFD. The area of the lake is wide open with no boat lanes and can see for miles. I have talked with him everyday since the wreck (drove to the hospital twice) and he is getting better. Broke ribs, punctured lung and a torn spleen was his injuries. They were not flown, he and another man was transported by ambulance. I wont go into details about the wreck but everyone in the boat should keep their head on a swivel. They are very lucky they are alive and not maimed.
