Two people died during popping for GT

[milchner]

Hi guys,

today I have a very, very sad message.

In Rodriguez happened a big accident during popping for GT.
Two people (Roddy and Zouk) died.
My good friend Stephan Kreupl (world record holder Blue Marlin in the 80lb class) survived. I thank to god for that.

Our sympathy is with the families of Roddy and Zouk, their parents, brothers and sisters and especially their wives and children.Roddy leaves behind a wife and a son, Zouk a wife and two children.

Hi guys,
many thanks for your nice words. I think this example shows us that our "hobby" is very dangerous and the main question should be "how much risk can I accept"?

Well, I think a life is more valuable than a picture with a nice fish.

A friend of me told me that the people there don´t do enought for their security. For example: The life jacket is in the crate, they can´t swim very well and so on.....
