Saturday Grey yacht with 6 foot wake

Chattanooga Fishing Forum

Help Support Chattanooga Fishing Forum:

But the speed in which he runs and the design of the hull is what makes his wake so huge. It is a super yacht not a normal one. His wake is huge. Anyone that goes out and causes the problems he does with no regard is an a**. He will end up hurting someone bad. He has already cause harm to some. He has also caused damage to other people's property. So no him or his boat needs to be on a local lake. If you give respect you get respect.

I wish I could win the lottery, that boat would definitely be on my list of things to purchase. I find it somewhat humorous that the boats bass fisherman call big are the one complaining about his wake.

This boat is in a whole nother category, its not your standard "wave maker" many anglers complain about. When I saw this boat running past the Nuke, I was STUNNED. I grew up on the Gulf Coast of Florida, and I have never seen a boat this size, run this fast outside of the open water. As has been said, the rooster tail off this boat is 15' high, and 20-30' long. It runs 58 MPH, and they are running wide open everywhere they go. The wake its throwing is mind-blowing.......it cant even be explained until you see it.
 
I'm sure he will get his. All in time. I can't tell you how many people I have seen on bass Boats load their shotguns in the rod lockers and put pistols on their hips at cfp and many other boat ramps before they head out to fish. I hope he stops this before he swamps the wrong guy because we all know there is that "one guy" that will actually take action.
 
Someone could always hire the scuba diver on the forum......... I'm sure an ice pick could correct the situation.
 
I was fishing last week around nuke when he came by. Waves came over the boat and hit my knees. Almost lost 2 rods, and my front running light is now at the bottom of the lake.

How much hp does a boat like that need in order to turn water like that???? 2,000hp?

Two 1,948 HP engines = 3,896 HP. It weighs over 100,000 lbs dry and has a fuel capacity of 1,200 gallons. Just a little oversized for the river, ya think?
 
Maybe it will swamp some of the assholes that think they own the lake, because they are fishing a tx. My 10 yr old daughter refuses to fish anymore after almost drowning from a bass boat blowing by at 60mph in a congested area of wolftever. If I had stuck my arm out, the boat would have taken it off! I have pics of the boat and saw the guy close enough to remember his face. Next time I'll ask the wife to wait in the truck and I will meet you at the ramp. The pics, boat numbers, and description of the driver was turned in to twra officers back in the spring. Hope you guys have better luck with the bigger asshole in his bigger boat.
 
Sorry about your bad experience. If the bass boat came that close to you then he was in the wrong, but a wake from a bass boat at 60 is non existent compared to these other boats

Seems a bit dramatic.
 
This sounds like 4 pages of a witch hunt. Does anyone have any 1st hand experience that would instigate a criminal investigation?

It's not against the law to be an Azzhat.........
