A lot of us had no issues at all today. It's not like all 2000 people had issues. It's not the decline of civility in Texas.

Crazy thing is all the fish we caught after about 10:00AM were slot fish. We had 3 big slot fish as well that bit after 12:00.

Here's a good video of guys fishing in close quarters and catching fish.

Lake Fork guide Richard McCarty finished second place to his idol Rick Clunn in one of his first BASS events. At times the boats were almost touching.

Most of you already have another fisherman crowding you less than 20 feet away from the back of the boat. Why worry about another?

Some people get all butthurt if you pull up within 200 yards.

Fish for fun and not money and your butt will still intact

It was BBB (Before Bass Boat), buddy and I were fishing Conroe on our kayaks. It was dark, we had lights on and a boat pulls up in between us (there was less then a hundred yards between the two yaks). I didn�t fight it so I paddled to the other side of the cove. As soon as I started to fish and work my way into the cove the boat pulls about 30 yards in front of me. After a couple of casts I fling one on his deck. All I hear is woo, woo like he thought how dare someone on a kayak have any rights. From then on I realized that some people will always be jerks so I try to keep my distance even if they don�t.

I like your idea, Billy. I'll prolly be done with SOT, too, but will definitely miss their BBQ dinners on Sat evening. If we were close to having a fish to weigh late that afternoon, I would tell partner to throw her back in because BBQ is about to be served. We would always leave early eenough to be the first ones in line. We always had our priorities in line as well.

This was at 6:15AM this morning in Little Mustang......not crowded at all. Plenty of fish caught there the last 2 days as well.

Just be thankful that you can get out there and fish. There're so many that wish they could get out and go fishing and wouldn't care if someone got close.

I go into these tournaments expecting it to happen so it doesn't bother me. you have over 1200 plus boats on the lake LOL
most of the guys are nice and think the same way I do. keep us updated after your phone call.

Copy That , every time I go out I�m always thankful , I know lots of people who would trade places in a minute , I have learned to just ignore ignorance and move on . Not going to let Them mess up my time on the water .

Nice picture.... ... It looked like that in Penson too, or so my neighbour told me.
Not where we were on the south end, it looked like Christmas with all the red, green, and white lights.. Boat lane looked like I-30 at rush hour in Dallas. I will say again everyone was very respectful of distance. We had a great time, Sunday was about half as busy as Saturday morning, annoyingly so was the fishing, we caught about half as many as on Saturday, it got windy, white caps rolling in on us.
Congrats to the 11.19 that won my boat, thank you to Skeeter for the opportunity, and to BassChamps for a top notch event, well done guys..

At least y'all could show each other and see each others brand new pole y'all got.

This is the correct approach.
