A guy I worked with for years until he retired in 2020 was killed yesterday. He was trolling for crappie on his pontoon yesterday morning when another boat traveling east hit him. Driver of the other boat was supposedly blinded by the sun. Obviously, it's stupid to be running on plane if you can't see where you are going, but that's what witnesses say happened. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere that speed was a factor. You just never know when it's your time to go.
 
Sad. No matter how safe and careful you are you cannot control others. My dad, my son, and I also most got run over on Ky Lake as we were sitting still fishing a crappie mat. Boat was coming straight towards us with all 3 occupants turned around looking at something on the bank. Luckily the one in front happened to turn around just in time.
