Ok this happened yesterday
Me, Antimatter, and another friend decide to go out on my lake yesterday to go fishing.
We jump in the little row boat with a trolling motor and off we go.
So here we are trolling down a small section of the lake when a small sea plane (about the size of a Cessna 150) is coming up behind us idling, obviously getting to an area to take off. So I move aside and let him pass and he is headed into the larger part of the lake. He lives on the lake, I know him.
Take note that in front of him is a huge area of the lake with very little boat traffic.
Without warning he turns around and goes full power right at us..... we were sideways in the lane fishing/trolling. I am thinking I am gonna have to jump or his prop would have hit us broadside. I am running my lil trolling motor in reverse and of course its a fucking trolling motor its not gonna get us out of the way!!! I am starting to panic now because hes 50 feet away and coming right at us. I shout out to Matt and Aaron to get ready to jump. Thinking the whole time there is no way he can miss us.
The guy rips past us at about 70 mph.....
Soaks us with the wake from the pontoons of the plane.
The one wing is directly over us as he roars past....
I could feel the prop wash blast me as he slips between us and this little island.
He clips 2 small trees with the other wing and dodges another boater and takes off!!!!
If i was standing i could have touched his plane. His fuselage was within 5-6 feet of the boat. We were all freaked out.
If there is one thing you can be assured of....
He will not be flying anymore.
On a personal note... I wish it were wild west times... I would have put 2 in his dome and called it a day.
