It's very unfortunate when anyone loses there life on the water. I am only 31 years old and been fishing big lakes for about 8 years. Never owned a boat only tagged along with friends and now have a partner that a tourney fish with every week. My biggest problem on the lakes is just the respect factor. I see more and more people on the water everyday who basically just think it's fun to just to give fisherman or anyone else on the water a hard time just because they get a kick out of it. I have even seen a canoe someone was in at laurel paddling across the lake not bothering anyone when a boat right across from the guy fired his engine up and made a pass as close as he could to the canoe and then turn around and make another pass just to amuse himself I guess. It really burns my behind because of what I call the ingnorance factor. Small boats, midsized boats, big boats, it doesn't matter everyone has a right to the water just have a little respect for you never know what damage may do. Personally I,m tired of reading about folks who lose their life due to ignorance on the water. That's the main concern in my opinion.
