for sure, im not talking about the fish pulling you in.....one time on the Willamette we drifted by some young fisherman on the bank who were trying to team up on trying to get a lure out of the tree that was over hanging a bottle neck, just as we passed one of them slipped and got wrapped up on the braid and tossed in the current was fast and the braid was strong...the boy was lucky, that day we were rolling double drift boats down the river, our other buddies above us were able to paddle super tuff and manage to get the kid loose, super super close call!!!! knowledge for future fishing trips!!! hate to say it but that kid was for sure not going to make it if the fish hadnt stopped biting in the hole above that.....
