CRAZY lock accident on lake Toho

check out this video of us trying to get back through the lock at Toho during the Bassmaster Eastern Open

[@invisible.spectra5809]

Lock operator also runs a gel coat restoration/buffing side gig, got y’all corralled then let the bumper boats commence 😂

[@squidvis]

Are these boats really that fragile? Seems they could handle a few bumps but I guess not...

[@somekid127]

@@squidvis Yes, this was a bassmaster tournament. All high dollar professional boats that are made of fiberglass which cracks very easily on logs in water, rocks or in this case other boats and concrete walls.

[@TatsByTaco]

​@somekid127 any decent boat worth it's weight is definitely not cracking from these little bumps

Like the one dude on the far left just chillin hanging on to his rope haha

[@NCshooter1213]

Had this happened to me on santee cooper. Took my wife and daughter for their first time EVER in a lock. We locked down to the river from the lake and on oir way back up to the lake a few hours later this happened. Im assuming the lock master opened the valves to far because inside the lock turned into a washing machine. The back of my champion 203 started getting sucked down and was filling with water. The entire lock full of boats beat around, and one guy got his 250 proxs cowling busted all to pieces on the concrete walls. My wife swore she would never do it again. Ruined something that i thought they would enjoy

[@timarb5177]

Sorry, was just thinking all the damage. My Ranger 362 got beat up in a slip once. My fault though.

[@cdickey3211]

Somebody opened the faucet to high. Works for barges but not 1500 lb bass boats. Like logs in a river. 😳 Wow!

[@brandonsatterlee7546]

Lockmaster open the gates before the lock was finished filling?

[@dominicanboy0622]

6 years later and still waiting for the crazy part

[@brandonwesson6818]

Me too man

[@TyPigPatrol]

that's scary stuff, man!

[@AdamWoodhouse]

Well that doesn't happen very often! I hate being the boat at the front due to the very rough water during the initial part of the filling of the lock. That's just another reason to not want to be at the front!!

[@MrSweetloustyles]

Was it worth it?

[@TheReelMacoy]

I was on a boat during the flw tournament and they legit said no gopros on at all probably for this reason haha. This is not good im sure some people got fired

[@bloodlinefishingadventuresllc]

That was some crazy stuff right there. I just subscribed to your channel for future content. Keep up the great work and tight lines.

[@Dredster747]

you're joking

[@chrisladelfa3613]

Living in a town on the Erie Canal that has a lock in it has given me a severe fear of locks and the water in and around the lock!

[@BidensBreakfastTacos]

What does this button do?

[@billmadison2032]

What exactly happened to cause all this

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

That’s crazy! Wow

[@davidallen9526]

Lock master was laughing his butt off.

[@cunningtonalonzo7214]

Did that guy boat hull get cracked

[@benbutlerfishing]

and I'm over here with a 99 tracker with a 50hp that gets treated better. damn if I had a glass boat I would be scared about even getting close to a boat

[@youtubechangedmyname]

Bass tournament buddy

[@hines862009]

I've locked through on the Ohio River and there was no current when the exit doors opened.

[@JimGLopez67]

ya bro that was not good , The way the water moved the first boat that fast, Scary

[@luisfarris]

Someone left the back door open!

[@Jay-ik1ge]

Damn hate to see that happen to a bunch of bass tournament fishermen.

[@detroyt232323]

When does the craziness happen 🤔

[@williamtennill6744]

Lock master there didn’t do good job ..also as a bass angler I’d be upset they let that many boats in my space too. They need to be more careful there .

[@gravis00]

OH MY GAWWWDDDDD!!!!!!!!

[@cowboy_broke999]

What even went wrong?

[@HenryYang-yq6cr]

Bro some one got rammed into the wall with the trolling motor

[@TatsByTaco]

That wasn't even with their trolling, they just straight up drove into the wall with their OB with all 200 horses lmao

[@EthanBookspan-ij2mj]

CRAZY 🙄

[@AndrewGarnerAdventures]

Why did the lock have to open to get filled?

[@bossdawg165]

When you lock through you’re going to a lake system that is higher or lower than the lake you’re coming from. They are going up looks like so the water fills the lock raising the boats up so they can go up” to the next lake. It’s like a water elevator

[@roberttodd3215]

But the locke should fill to that higher water level before it opens should it not?

[@AndrewGarnerAdventures]

@@roberttodd3215 that’s what it does on the Arkansas River.

[@MrTaylorfenoglio]

Thats just how those locks work. They just crack the door open and if floods in. Theres always a strong current. There were just way too many boats in there. Typically they only allow 4 or 5 at most and yiu have to be holding the rope

[@JTV84]

really? they don't have sluice gates? i've never heard of a lock that works this way. how do they crack it open when the lock is empty and there's a few thousand tons of water holding the gate shut?

[@MrTaylorfenoglio]

@@JTV84 they don't. There is a dam where water is flowing to the side of it. So the gates are only regulating the water inside the lock itself. It cracks open then stops a little bit then completely opens after it equalizes a bit.

[@JTV84]

@@MrTaylorfenoglio never seen a lock that works this way. the main gate is designed so that any difference in pressure holds it shut. the top gate will not open when the lock is empty, the bottom gate will not open when the lock is full.

[@stevenjones618]

@@JTV84 go to Mississippi River go to the Illinois River go to Lake michgan on the Chicago river.. almost all locks open a bit allows water.to flow then the less the difference the more they open.. but first rule in any lock i been in is must have life jacket all boats must be on wall and holding on to a rope or the slippery ladders... next all motors off.. no one is allowed to be in middle.. but I would think the lock master knew of tourny and thise guys said oh yeah no problem let's get 10 15 boats in there we be fine.. cause its about 1 hr turn around.. so this is the outcome typical

[@JTV84]

@@stevenjones618 i live in england but i'll take your word for it. every lock i've been through has sluice gates which i think are built into the sides of the lock, under the water. everything else is the same. you still don't get too close to the front because of the strong currents.

[@saltyyak9418]

Why aren’t they out on lake? What is the point of this?

[@Unwrenched]

On certain bodies of water, usually river systems they have locks. They locks let water from one part feed into the other body of water. The locks open and close on a daily schedule due to water levels and barge traffic. These guys were waiting for this particular lock to open.

You don't know what a lock is? It is so you can navigate from one body of water to a different body of water at a different elevation.

Sponsored boats anyway...they don't care.

[@Oldtrickshotss]

Theodore its an open tournament not all boats are sponsored on the opens

[@jimmycline4778]

I would never let my boat rub up against other boats like that, I worked to hard for it!

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

Theodore, Very few pro's get free boats. Most are memo billed, meaning at the end of the season the pro sells the boat, pays the boat company for it and then gets a new one. The pro could pay for it and keep it, but either way they pay for them. Some of the absolute top pro's get the free use of a boat, but they are few and far between.
