It was predictable as the sun coming up tomorrow, that the attorneys involved would go after the deep pocket. The accident was an absolute tragedy, and unfortunate. Of course I read the attorney typical statement about the need to improve safety, but make no mistake about it… it’s the money. But I can reassure the readers here, if the management at MLF believe they can improve safety, they won’t hesitate to implement changes.
Define "previously"... as in, one of the real boat offficials that MLF employed in an full time all season manner in previous years, or more recently one of the fans that rode along and weighed fish at individual events, similar to the BASS marshal program. Not throwing shade on either option, just curious if the "one event" guys are getting the 3 day training, or if that was prior to them making the change away from the full time officials.
