and out of the blue someone messaged me on Facebook "Is that your boat with the pole?" It only took 3 years for the video to come full circle but it made it. If you look closely you can see me on our 212SS with the stripper pole on the left hand side of the shot or "cage side" to this crazy brawl. This went down 4th of July weekend 2013.

 
It was towards the end of the day and we were about to head back to our cabin. I secured the music and the crowd that had formed to the side of our boat started getting restless. Next thing you know this video happened.
 
Is that a frequent occurrence at Lake Havasu? I have a good friend who went there last year and a similar incident broke out at the end of the day.
I also wonder what started the fight, if it is like my home waters I am sure it had something to do with a girl or two drinking too much and the drama that seems to follow that situation ( not trying to be sexist or whatever, just speaking from experience). I have to say that most of those shots were probably cushioned by alcohol, but that blind sided haymaker was a shot, I wouldn't have been surprised if that loosened some teeth or cracked a jaw. Just some thoughts

It is a common occurrence on holiday weekends. Not sure what actually sparked the brawl, but I know those girls had been drinking all day long and dancing on the back of my boat. We didn't let any of the guys onboard (they tried) but they were drinking all day long as well.
