Been there & done that, Randy. I grew up along Lake Erie and we learned how to handle a boat in large waves. The key is to not go head-on or parallel to them. You just have to zig-zag to get where you're going. Lake Erie demands respect for boaters and it's not worth your life to play out there when waves get much over 4-5 feet. No point in being out there with those waves since you can't really fish. I'm glad you got to experience that. Sadly, Many inexperienced boaters have learned the hard way. Knowing weather forecasts ahead of time, when heading out in Lake Erie, is a must.
If you were in 12 foot waves in Lake Erie, driving 25mph, in 50mph wind, 3 miles off shore, you would remember what harbor you launched from. Grew up on Lake Erie, spent 20+ years in the Coast Guard, I think you are exaggerating the sea and weather conditions. Probably not intentionally exaggerating, but still. Shit like that causes you to remember details. 12 to 15 foot waves are not uncommon in bad storms on L.E. and they are an awe inspiring sight. Most people can't comprehend a 15 foot wave. People with your mindset are the ones who intentionally put rescuers lives on the line, INTENTIONALLY I said, and often leave kids with no father. Yep, this is not a polite comment. Not intended to be one. Please make sure you wear a PFD or float suit next time you get the urge to "experience" something like that, it makes recovery easier.
JoelSzymczyk is right. I've heard "you couldn't see land because the waves were so high" several times from people in 18-foot long, 24-inch sided, jon boats. What bs. Fifteen-foot waves and you're in them in a bass boat? Nonsense. This is an example of an irresponsible thing to do and even more irresponsible to brag about and even more irresponsible to suggest others try. "If you know what you're doing"....famous last words.
have a place on middle bass island ...grew up there ,make no mistake thats only one scenario.what you have to watch is a straight north wind .northwest or north east ,because then there are no rollers th,ere pure 7,8 foot close together crests and they usually get 16 to 20 feet part so crest .every wave will swamp you ...when you can run the troft your very lucky ..9 times out of ten on Erie you don't have the luxury 1986 laborer day weekend I got caught inn 10 footers barely made it back .. I actually wrote a song about it being a musician.....Its called ERIE FEELING. .still haunts me to this day ....never mess with Erie................
I experienced 4-5 footers on Champlain in my buddies boat. He knew what he was doing but we called it for the day since we had 5 days to fish. Be careful all and great story Randy!
You never really know your limits until you exceed them. That most always ends badly. Something I learned early on as a helicopter pilot that applies here: never get yourself into a situation that you're not 100% sure you can safely get yourself out of.
I took my 17’ aluminum mid-v out onto Lake Michigan in similar waters just to experience. Very humbling to see the power that water has. Super cool experience
Yep, born and raised here in Metro Detroit. I’ve been on the Lakes during thunderstorms as a brave/dumb teenager. I sure do miss that old 16’ Smokercraft
Sounds like you were in west harbor in port Clinton. Catawba island will block the winds from the west. Once you get towards the islands it gets violent.
My god man. I've lived virtually my whole life with Lake Michigan just down the road, and all I've ever heard about was the unreal power of those big lakes. I couldn't even imagine seeing that big wave breaking up above like that.
I learned to pilot boats both sail and powered on lakes Michigan, Huron, St. Clair, and Erie. Big water demands big respect! Thats the reason those bodies of water are referred to as The Great Lakes.
Been in 15 ft waves in commercial boat in the Bermuda triangle and can tell you I'd never try running a bass boat in anything even close to it . Got lucky ! They were only supposed to be 7 miles out we were 14 into the tip of the triangle .Was a kid at time but never forgot it
My Dad had a 1964 Lyman and he had it at Hearls Harbor at Port Clinton on Lake Erie and whenever there was high winds and a small craft advisory nobody went out in the lake and that Lyman was built to take it. Lake Erie is a great place to go but as you know when it gets rough especially the western basin it is best to stay ashore. :)
Randy, I would love to see you do an on the water driving lesson on rough water. I am always intimidated by big water. I have a typical 18 foot bass boat. I’m never sure if I should keep up enough speed to stay on plane keeping the bow up and suffer the rough ride or slow down and plow water and get soaked.
Thumbnail looks like conneaut harbor....the waves you are describing are called rollers...lake Erie is no joke..the most lives lost in any body of water in the US..be safe...
I was a co-angler in a Stren Series tournament in 2006 out of Cleveland. On day 3 the wind was coming from Canada and that's where we went straight into 4-8 footers and every time we dropped off a wave it sounded like the fiberglass shattered! I had to flex every muscle in my body to take the shock every time, I glanced to my left at another boat going the same way and it felt like it broke my back 😫 I would see a flash then black and tingling would shoot through me! That Ranger had 1 nut holding the motor on. Day 4 the waves were going over the breaker wall outside the mouth of the Black River at Lorain Ohio!!!! It looked like the pipeline in Hawaii where the waves were shooting air off the end of the wall with a loud WOOSH, on one of the waves a 30+ ft cabin cruiser came shooting out of the barrel skipping like a rock!!! We road back over waves soooo big the troughs were @20yrds across and it looked like we were going to scrape the bottom, going down the waves sounded like pulling velcro apart and felt like a BIG roller-coaster!!! I came in 3rd place but I feel like I won 🏆
@@larrydrewett7779 2006 was this the first or 2nd Stren tournament out of Cleveland? FLW went there 2 years in a row. I fished the 1st year didn't go back the 2nd. I stayed at the official housing, high rise Holiday Inn, up the street from rock and roll hall of fame. Girl at the desk said you have free parking in our parking garage. I said honey I don't believe my truck and 522VX Ranger will work in your parking deck. It was a first time experience for all. Chris Jones couldn't believe FLW booked the tournament there. Fishing also sucked around Cleveland. You had to run east, west or north to find anything. Several boats didn't make it back. They docked I believe in Sandusky and traveled back to Cleveland in a taxi to get their truck and trailer. You are correct some experience, that's why I didn't fish it the 2nd year. 👍😎
@@douglasspickler4925 I remember it was a tough tournament for a lot of people. I'm not sure but I don't think I had a limit any day, I do remember losing my 5th one on days 3 and 4 both looked like 5lbs plus fish. The 5.14 I caught day 2 looked like a carp it was so long. My boater drove over a rock or something in 20ft and dropped a buoy, I saw a big arc over it 🤔 and then he got @20yds away and started casting in another direction? So I asked if I could cast to the buoy and he said yeah I just use it as a reference point, my po boys goby never got to the bottom. I set the hook and that fish took off for the moon and jumped @6ft out of the water! When I said it was tough I had 2 fish that day and made the cut, 4 fish the first day and was paired with a guy who lived a couple miles from me in Virginia, not what you're hoping for when you travel that far but it worked out well.
Had to come straight to this one when I saw the title. I live on Lake Erie, have for over half my life now. She’s nothing to play with, taken a lot of lives. Hope nobody gets any ideas with this, that is not a lake to play around on.
Dude! I love your video's but the interrogation style close ups are killin me! hahaha Get some on boat footage man. We'd love to see what youre talking about in action!
Thanks for the story. Sounds like you were solo. So did you launch your boat solo? I'm curious as to your method for launching/loading your boat when you are on your own. There are plenty of RUclips videos about this. Just curious about how you do it. Thanks.
I don’t mess around with Lake Erie unless the forecast is calling for pristine weather. Extremely dangerous body of water that has taken more then a few lives.
Sorry man but i laughed my butt off at that story. That's a typical man for ya... to do something crazy like that. lol Glad you had enough sense to know when enough was enough lol
I’m not sure about your wisdom there, Randy. Your life, your channel. Just makes me mad to think about putting others at risk because you wanted to be a risk-taker for no good reason. We were walking the trails around Presque Isle in Marquette yesterday. We were standing on the observation deck on top of one of the cliffs and a grown woman breached the barrier to go below the overlook. Has to be a 100’ to 150’ drop-off to the rocks and water below. That’s the way your story affects me. I’ve been a boater my whole adult life and to the point others have made, unexpected things happen. I fish Erie, Sturgeon Bay and St Clair and boated on Superior just this week and I fish a lot of inland lakes with huge basins that can get dangerously rough. I don’t think your setting the best example to your family or followers by making that story public. Glad you’re safe. I enjoy your channel otherwise, Buddy. 😉
I live in Crystal Beach Ontario on the shore of Lake Erie. I hear the Fire Department rescue boat going down to the boat launch on a regular basis to rescue idiots like this who think it's a good idea to challenge the Lake known as "The Widowmaker" and put others lives at risk.
Wow...where did you/how did you turn around? You'd have to take a wave broadside at some point I'm guessing. I've been out in 4' waves and they were close together. It made it tough to "change your mind" about being out there. Fortunately, I was able to find an island to cut down on the wave height and make an about face.
I've been caught a couple times at South Bass Island, when the wind switched. It's a different ball game with an east wind coming across Erie, when it necks down between Kelley's and mainland. YEEE-HAAAWWWW!!!!! Can see the world when you're on top of the wave but see nothing but water walls at the bottom. Need a pry bar to unclench your butt cheeks from the seat! Crazy thing..... they were GREAT fishing days until then.
The only time I've ever booked a fishing charter it was on lake Michigan and there where small craft advisorys and the boat would rise and drop over 15 feet and I got sick as hell from that and the diesel fumes, plus to make things even worse no one on the boat caught any fish. No refunds or another trip out of it, it was the worst fishing trip ever and people that lived near there thought that the captain was crazy for even taking us out in that crazy of a chop.

If you want subscribers and views, I’ve told you this before you should do a video with a GoPro stuck to your windshield of you running through big waves so people can understand what you’re talking about. So many people who are just getting to bass fishing would like to see it and would benefit from knowing how to navigate big waves not just a video of you talking about it. I live up here in the Northeast so I understand but so many people don’t
Keep the front up and let 'er rip tater chip I live 5 min from edgewater/lake erie I agree I go out when most people won't in my stratos bass boat you gotta know what your boat can and cannot do Unfortunately when you find out it cannot it's too late you'll be in Davy Jones locker
I know and understand why you are sharing this post.It’s about the human spirt and drive for adventure. I know that you are not suggesting for anyone to do anything stupid in a boat on Lake Erie. This same human spirt for adventure has caused men to sail out of the harbor in to the unknown. These same men make up the coast guard. For those of us who are not prepared or experienced just simply stay in the harbor 🏄🏼♂️
You're pretty lucky you didn't have an equipment failure, bilge, engine, etc.. bass boats are not made for big water like that. Seems like almost every year people in bass boats die on Erie in bad weather.
i did this in the ocean just to prove to everyone that RANGER was the best boat ever in history will not go under the water them waves filled it slam full an i road back in said see anyone fishes professional should have this boat cause i fished in tournator an caught 2 state record bass.i went straight through waves like a surf board never once to my heart jump think i was going to kill people in the boat they was screaming crying we going to die hahahahahahahahahaha i said you can cut this boat half into with chainsaw both pieces will float like a bomber
Wish you hadn't, huh. I won't go out on a 24ft in over 6ft. I'll go out 2-3 times a year. I've been out in 10ft and it's NO fun. It's called Erie for a reason. Like superior hundreds of wrecks. Both lake's run east west, open to bad waves.
Randy ,I have seen tons of 20 " boat like yours sink on Lake Erie. Your very lucky your alive. God Bless

Right. 'Rollers' are very uncommon. Usually a 'bathtub' if 3 ft. You can't ride em either without peeing blood and trashing your boat
I experienced 4-5 footers on Champlain in my buddies boat. He knew what he was doing but we called it for the day since we had 5 days to fish. Be careful all and great story Randy!
I crossed Lake Erie in 60mph winds, and lightning, at 2am in a canoe.
I’m working on a video from my backyard about it now
I paddle boarded across the Gulf of Mexico when Katrina was hitting 😂
@@JCuppett I heard about that way up here.
Crazy! Glad you still with us after all that lol. Stay safe guys.
The wind picks up the water of the white cap and sends spray airborne. Getting spray from the wave and the hull has nothing to do with it.
You never really know your limits until you exceed them. That most always ends badly. Something I learned early on as a helicopter pilot that applies here: never get yourself into a situation that you're not 100% sure you can safely get yourself out of.
There is no 100% once it comes off the trailer
Did you know that freighters sink in the Great Lakes before you tried that? Glad you lived to tell the tale!

A pop up storm came up and caught us at the weather buoy in our bass boat.. My back is still hurting.

The coast guard puts out small craft warnings for good reason. Don't push your luck
Every person makes there own choices
@@jordanbeyer7607 and when those choices result in failure, and the lives of rescuers are put on the line, that's perfectly fine. ?
Man you have some ballllllls my friend. Growing up on Erie ive seen some horrifying stuff. Its a brutal Lake that takes a lot of grit to fish it hard.
I fish on the Gulf of Mexico and I have seen it and I have no doubt that Lake Erie can produce some massive waves it’s a giant body of water.
Randy "Deathwish" Blaukat will fish in electrical storms and brave the 15' waves!! LOL!
I fished an 8 hour tournament on chickamauga with 25 to 30 mph winds in blasting rain. It was brutal.

Thanks for sharing this great story Randy! Question...We`re you born on a bass boat? Greetings and tight lines. Mitch
What model boat/engine was it randy?
Randy if you’re going parallel in the troughs of those waves how do you turn around and go the other way
What brand bass boat you had then Mr.Randy ?
Randy, I have spent many hours on Lake Erie, you have to respect mother nature or else!
Good morning boys!
I went out on Erie with my 10.2 Basshound and my 5hp motor, there was 25 foot waves, 50mph winds and I just kept fishing cause I'm a b.a...state law

Should have videod it! It would have went viral

my wife use to say you going to kill our son i said not with a RANGER
What no video
Wish you hadn't, huh. I won't go out on a 24ft in over 6ft. I'll go out 2-3 times a year. I've been out in 10ft and it's NO fun. It's called Erie for a reason. Like superior hundreds of wrecks. Both lake's run east west, open to bad waves.
Definitely not interested in anything like that lol
only a fool puts himself in harms way on purpose
Not really
No thanks I’ll pass lol
