How to resolve disputes

That's awesome, I wish it was all that easy

Good stuff. Thanks for the post!

Exactly. Heat of the battle between two intense competitors and resolved like grown men as compared to Carl Jocumsen.

What did Jocumsen do?

Chris - really? The Carl & Boyd Duckett issue from Winyah Bay has been beat to death.

Boyd was on his spot day two Winyah bay after Carl had that big sack day one.

here we go

Ya know, when $100k is on the line, I expect this level of intensity and am actually OK with it. What is comical is when this happens during fun fishing or a $50 entry club tourney. Then it gets silly.

Completely different scenario........

Great example of how not to handle disputes on the water, and how to make up off the water. But I've never been in a situation to win $100,000, nor have 99.9% of us on here, so I can't judge their actions.

So Duckett is an Elite level pot licker?

Could have easily been resolved peacefully on water with Rock Paper Scissors

I thought it was customary for TFFers to pull guns on a situation like this....or sling tungsten weights at each other.

Tharp still won........

Its competition.. Its in our nature to be competitive against one another.. Whether it is $100 or $100,000, I bet everyone of ya'll has gotten mad at one time or another about another angler fishing in your spot! It happens and they are still buddies in the end, which is what is suppose to happen!

Yup, He's a Floridian'! Dan

Lead. Tungsten costs too much.

I've never found a spot.

But those $50 club tournaments are intense. (Rolls eyes)

They both fished it and around each other all of Day 1. Boyd had an earlier draw on Day 2 and got there first, but didn't catch any fish off Jocumsen's sweet spot. Much ado about nothing.
