Kentucky Lake Regional accident

Did anyone read about the accident on the FLW site? Has anyone read or heard how the guy is doing? My prayers go out to his family.

Yes I did. His name is David Young and he lives in Mayfield, Kentucky. He has been discharged from the hospital so I assume he is recovering well. The motor hit a submerged object and came up out of the water striking Dave. I looked up on the internet what I assume is his address. I plan on sending him a card. Don't know him, but yet I do, if you know what I mean. Here's a link to the latest update I have heard about.     http://www.flwoutdoors.com/article.cfm?id=146703

That is awful I hope all will be ok

that is an awfully scary thought to think of a 460 lb outboard with a big prop coming into the boat with you, I have heard of it happening before but it landed in between the occupants of the boat.
I would think that the controls would still be hooked up therefore the prop would be fully powered up.....shivers!
hope he makes a full recovery.

Speaking of Kentucky lake, I am still looking for someone to fish the Stren event on April 30th-May 3rd. I don't feel like going by myself but if someone else is willing to go, I'm there.
