Tragedy on Lewis & Clark

[Skis]

As some of you may have heard, Brian Nielsen drowned this past weekend near Yankton. He was fishing alone when something must have gone wrong. We'll never know what happened, but the weather was OK on Saturday and he had a 2025 Lund Boat.

25 years old is too young to die. i never had the opportunity to meet Brian, but chatted with him on numerous occasions on the internet and via e-mail. His passion for fishing was second to none. Just a grim reminder to tie on the kill switch and wear a life jacket. I honestly have not done these things, but I'm going to start now.

Yes, that is terrible! I can't even imagine what his family is going through. 25 is too young to die.

...and to expand on this further, he was found with a "prop" injury to his arm. Another reminder to utilyze that kill switch lanyard. I have been lazy about it myself at times. I won't be now.
