Another Pro Boating Accident?

[offdtop]

I just read Mark Menendez had a boating incident at Table Rock Lake, he is okay but I guess ran his boat a ground in the dark?????

I see I see, man that stuff can happen fast, especially in the dark. I wonder if he was using his GPS. Or maybe just thought he knew where he was....the lake shouldn't be drawn down...is it? Lucky he's okay.

He's fine. We spoke with his wife. Picked up his marshall and running to get in line for take off. He said boat is totaled but could use it. Can only run 50 mph. Funny thing is I believe he is leading the tournament after today. I've known and fished with mark for years and I can tell you he is very safe on the water. Unfortunately accidents happen no matter how safe you are and I'm just thankful they are both ok.

Checked on Lake elevation 6/22/11 and it was - 6'-4" below Summer pool . . if Mark was depending on GPS to navigate and looking at pictures of this long flat . . that would spell disaster for any person relying on GPS!
This is just my findings and personal opinion . . only Mark can tell us what happened.
I know he is a good angler and good ambassador for the sport of bass fishing; but has had some bad luck and mishaps of late . . he certainly does not deserve this!

Like someone said on another thread, " I resemble that".
And yes, there are strings attached....just try to log in and see what personal information they request/'require...starting with your name and email address....

Also, has FaceBook ever been hacked into, I'm a thinking ...yep!

I spend time on facebook everyday and never had any problems, nor have I known of any. You had to give an e-mail address for this site and most sites request a name and e-mail address.

In addition, it was published on Mark's personal facebook page, and the poster just posted a link to it. The poster didn't put it on facebook, Mark Menedez did and I doubt he is going to go out of his way to come here and report about it to the select few here.

I have been in the boat several times with Mark and he is very safe, accidents can happen to the most experienced drivers. He rebounded and currently sits in second place, behind legendary Stacey King.

Sir you should read the second posting by magic he asked for a link!!! I only offered after I was asked, so, respectfully I ask that you read the posts following before making assumptions. Also sir if you are not inclined to use face book then don't click a link - easy as that! But to chastise someone for posting a link is wrong especially when someone else was asking for information on a "Discussion Board". So if I am asked for a link to information I know of then I will share - wherever it may be found, but apparently this information wasn't broadcast anywhere else and those of us who follow our local favorites and use face book were privy to that information.

I have been using Facebook for years and I research the privacy issues and I set mine up to protect myself and all information I am willing to share.
