Default Fishing boat runover

anybody see video of the cruiser running over the fishing boat? Just saw it on Fox. 30 plus foot cruiser never slows or turns and lines up right on what I would call a Walleye boat, 20 foot aluminum V bottom. Good thing the three people that were fishing were alert. They jumped overboard at the last minute.

I saw it on FB, crazy video. That definitely could have had a different ending had they not been aware.

Hard to believe the captain of the cruiser never saw them - had to be a wild feeling for all involved!

holy chit!!! I'm amazed that the aluminum boat is still floating and has relatively little damage considering the size of the boat that ran it over!! The 75 yr. old man can't stand up and admits that he can't see over the dash board. Wow, that's comforting knowing guys like that are out there!! And he doesn't seem to care at all!

That son-in-law is about to get himself kicked out of the family, but it sounds like a family he may be better off without.

Shoot the Larson dude, mariners will be better off for it. Can't see him being any different on land either.

Larsen should settle out of court. Thanks to the GoPro it's a no-brainer. Great video to show your friends too,
I hope the fishermen get all they're entitled to.
