    Still saddened by this tragic loss. I didn't know Bryan personally but feel like I did. Reading his Facebook page, I know he was a guy I wish I could have spent some time with. God speed Bryan to you and the others abord.

    The Western Basin of Lake Erie is a dangerous place. When wind and shallow waters meet, all bets are off. We all knows this.

    I do not not know these people, but I know their story. It has been played out every year in one way or another. It is terrible. It sucks. It is what we all know is possible.

    Yet, we launch our vessels...

    Default thanks all for thoughts and concern

    I have been following this very sad and tragic story since the start and wanted to say what a great community we have here on walleye. Com the many comments , prayers, and thoughts for the family and friends of these missing boaters is very loving, I along with others have stated a sick to the stomach feeling over this tragedy. So please if you are a friend of these missing people please add my thoughts to the list of concerned fellow boaters and fisherman. I am sure all on this site when going out over the next few months will be thinking of these men and women. Please please please be extra careful out there mblmike

    Keep the faith. It is truly sad but we all put our self in jeopardy every time we go out on the lake. Sad but true. We all know of disasters of what can and hope will not happen. Be safe every one.

    As others have said, I can't stop thinking about these people. Mostly, I keep hoping and praying that the two still missing get returned to their families soon. I haven't gotten my first trip in for the year, but I keep thinking about pulling the boat up there and going out to look for them (I just got it out and ready for the season today).

    Yes, disasters can and will happen as with driving a car, riding a bike, walking to work, etc.. What speaks volumes though is the fact that when one does happen on the lake, everyone in the boating/fishing community is affected.

    God Bless. Praying that our brothers can return to their families soon.
