One more reason - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Amish Ed · 07-28-2020, 09:58 AM

I got this from either NorCal Kayak Fishing or NW kayak Fishing. Yeah, they aren't too hot on waders up there, but it seems to be more about the fact that people don't wear a wading belt when they wear them.

Jetskiers and boaters are definitely a good reason to wear a pfd. Lord knows I've almost been hit way too many times.

There's crazy threads on there arguing about it. Dudes straight up calling Jim Sammons a kook for doing the "waders of death" video. A dude tragically dies and half the board is like all high and mighty assuming he had waders on before they even found his body, which he didn't. Didn't have PFD on either by the way. I was thinking about doing a reboot of Jim's video, but after seeing how aggro people are about it I'm having second thoughts hahaha.
