College fishing team gets thrown out of boat at almost 60 mph

During Saturday’s FLW College Fishing tournament, two members of University of Florida’s bass fishing team got into a harrowing boat accident. While riding the water at 57 miles per hour, Hunter Bland and Conner Young’s boat had a steering part failure, which caused both men to fly out. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and the team credited FLW for requiring all teams to wear life jackets and use kill switches. Had it not been for the kill switch, the engine and propeller would have continued to run, putting them in more danger.
