I’d have a personal EPIRB if I had NFL type money!
Given the size of the search area, a guy in a vest, even in very calm waters is VERY VERY difficult to spot. Now the search area can be reduced, it's still damn difficult spotting a guy in a vest. And most fishermen don't wear the big hinkin orange vests, either.
I'd have a bigger boat.
and depending on the size of the individual its quite likely 90% of the vest is submerged, just keeping the head above the water line......
Yes a “Man” was found but not the NFL players. Despicable hero worship by the MSM. Shows you what the media thinks of College players that don’t make the Detroit Lions.
