Okie's been fishing Ts a loooong time and knows well the "rules of engagement" and his write up reflects that he acted/reacted reasonably to me.

His choice of Oklahoma schools to root for is highly questionable, but his tournament conduct - not so much.

I bet you wouldn't. Lol

And I'll second that!

Had a group of guys fishing for catfish see me slaying sandies... They pulled out rods and started fishing right over me... Frog rod time, threw a deep diver with big Boy braid and snagged those fools! I have A slip and they paid to enter the marina sooooo I call up the office once things get heated and watch them be told to leave and never come back!

All these people saying they'd go ish

Why do you have a deep divers on a frog rod? That's weird

Now that's funny right there!!

Well that darn Okie again starting trouble. All I can say is I have fished more times than I can remember with that fool from Oklahoma and I have never witnessed anything but courtesy to a fellow angler so I have a very hard time believing he was on top of you or followed you around. Back in the day fishing a McDonalds tournament he even idled around a fellow competitor without the kill switch connected costing us a cool $1200.00 when he took the polygraph (yes I forgave him for being nice). He is a little on the redneck side but always respectful. The proper response to him would be to ask "hey do you have any tickets for sale". Carry on fellow fisherman.

I too have fished with that old fool. Cranky yes! Crotchety Yes. Anal Hell yes. But rude and intrusive of a fellow fisherman Hell no.

Okie Poke is as good as they come (and he makes a mean stuffed mushroom too!)

You guys need to meet for lunch and have a beer together.

Whatever you do......DONT! And I mean DONT!!!!!! Call him out and fish against him one on one. Lol. Been there and done it.

Someone must be a bad judge of distance on one side or the other, not sure who. Some of the numbers quoted don't seem to be par with crowding, so that maintains the uncertainty.

I was raised not to do that.... I won't come within 50 trailing yards of another boat..... But I see it all the time on Fork..... The only time I won't tell you it's a cork sucking move is if you have a child with you.....

On the flip side, if someone trolled up to hearing distance and said I'm having trouble sir, could you show me what I'm doing wrong or can I get some advice.... I'd let them tie up to my boat to help...

I had this happen to me yesterday on Lake fork in the Mega Bass tournament. I was fishing a shoreline and a guy pulled in right in front of me. I just cranked up my big motor and move right around him and cut him off.

HA!!
