Just a reminder always wear you life jacket and go lobster fishing with a buddy - a friend from high school Chris Gregory from Ventura passed away when they were hit by a big wave lobster fishing in a 15' boat... http://www.foxla.com/news/local-news/53217684-story

Noticed the date 11/22/15, but your post is today. Trying to figure what conditions were like on this miserable day. Just when you think you know your limits.

yes it was a couple of weeks ago...apparently it was not stormy or big waves that night in Ventura- there was one random huge rogue wave... they saw it and turned their boat and tried to drive over it but the wave flipped the boat over backwards... 1 lived the other died and was not found until about 1 week later...
