Guntersville...Some Scary-Looking Water


See the circle in the middle of this photo? Although it's hard to tell, there's a boat located out there in that circle.   

As noted by a local fella watching this action from a nearby perch, that boat "was coming into the launch, and his hull was probably 80 percent out of the water as he'd ride to the top of a roller and fall down into the trough, then go back up another roller. The waves appeared to be running about 4 feet, and he was going into each one just fast enough to keep the stern from swamping."

I personally had all the "thrill" I ever wanted the one time I rode a Navy guided-missile cruiser through a typhoon, while heading home from a WestPac cruise. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to ride this kind of rough water in a bass boat.
