Same thing happened to me. It was a shame. I thought it would be fun to go on a canoe ride down the Sabine river. Splash. All lost. And those catfish are just too big to risk going after them.
This happens far too much with gun owners I think the NRA should change their name to the National Raft Association and provide boating education.
A BoatUS membership, the perfect compliment to your NRA Life member card.
