As I was coming home from work friday night driving down Eastbound M59 (Utica area north of Detroit Michigan), I saw a cop in the right lane and everyone moving over to the center and left lanes. As I got closer I could see 3 cars. A Chevy Tahoe was the first car, a Chevy pick up with a ranger bass boat in the middle, and a passenger car in front of the pick up truck. As I got closer yet, something seemed funny. I could see a lot of the trailer and the boat seemed very "far forward" on the trailer. As I drove by, the Stanchion that the bow ties down the boat to the trailer had collapsed and the 6 feet of the bow was in the bed of the pick up. He must have hit hte brakes hard to either not hit somebody or something, but the boat and truck were gassed. Bass Fishing season is huge here in Michigan and starts in May. Somebody is going to be very unhappy. Beautiful boat. All decked out with stickers and custom pain with a large 200 or 250 hp motor on it and a power pole system on the transom. Felt bad for the guy. He was on the phone as I drove by
