I initially thought alligator too, happened to a guy I work with over the weekend who was going 45, bumped his boat to left and pushed him under a low hangin tree branch, lost 6 rods n reels, had another buddy hit a crosstie in the intracoastal that was submerged, tore the bottom half his motor off and spun him around...sometimes there's just stuff u can't see, speeds not always the only contributing factor

You are correct. I was in a 14ft boat with a 25hp last summer and hit a log (i assume) near his exact location. Knocked my lower unit and engine cover off and threw me to the front of the boat. I pass through that same bayou sometimes 3 to 4 times a week and never hit anything. Scared the shite out of me and I still am not exactly sure what it was. Bottom line is things happen whether speed is involed or not. Prayers sent to the families.
