Safety first - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Me and a buddy were out one time and he had left his hatch open on his prowler(one between his legs)and before he knew it the back of his yak was under water. It was a calm day and we transferred all his stuff to my yak and I tow and he paddled and we made it back luckily.
After that day I never go out without a hand pump on board. If the weather had been different or he had been out by his self there could of been a different outcome. Stuff happens, be prepared.
