So I know that all of you blue hairs on Volnation didn't have jetskis growing up, and for fun you probably played dice or bridge with grandma at the kitchen table. But condescending and spewing garbage at a 20 year old kid for "hotdogging" on a jetski is about the dumbest thing I've seen on Volnation. These are probably also the same people who get mad at people standing at games, and who call ushers over to get said people to sit down. All of those who fall in to the above categories, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I have no problem with TWRA, in fact, I shoot at a TWRA range, I have a TWRA tag, and I took all the freaking boating safety classes with my kids. It seems you are mixing up being stopped for NO reason other than "have a nice day" and doing something stupid. It doesn't take a perfect person to not F up on the water. Just don't be stupid. I'm not perfect, I did a LOT of stupid stuff when I was a kid.....10 - 16 or so years old. However, as an adult, I don't screw around with a boat that will run near 70 or offshore in 6 - 8 with a 23' boat. Wouldn't be prudent.
Come on man, this isn't that big of a deal. I had a couple of friends get a similar ticket on the lake last summer, for splashing each other with their jetskis, quite possibly from the same jackwagon that gave Bray his. Whatever TWRA says goes, and there's no real recourse to prove them wrong, so even if the charges are exaggerated, it's pretty much their word against yours. Other than the ticket being EXTRAVAGANTLY expensive (I think they had to pay nearly a $1,000 fine and take a boating safety course) it wasn't that big of a deal.
