“It was a horrific incident and it was life changing to be honest with you,' he said. His safety checks made the difference between life an death.
Hunter Bland was 21 and said he felt invincible on a January morning during a college bass fishing tournament. He and his partner completed all thechecks and were heading across the water, going 50 to 55 mph. When they were 2 miles out, his boat’s hydraulic steering blew.
"The boat does an absolute violent turn, so I can read the side of my wrap coming back over the top of my head," he recalls on the National Save Boating Council’s video. "I'm actually caught up underneath the boat, so I hit my head twice, and the third , I thought, ‘Well this is it, or I’m able to get out.’"
He said the safety precautions they took, and the pre-trip checks were the difference between life and death."I did everything in my power right," he said. "And now I’m even taking further precautions."He wasn’t afraid to get back in the water. He is a Bassmaster Opens Pro and a member of the Yamaha Pro Fishing Team as well as the spokesperson for the National Safe Boating Council’s Safe Boating Campaign.
