X2

Even if they were in the wrong, you have to help someone who has just wrecked their boat.. If one of them would have drowned would they "deserve it" because they were being terds?

And if it happened "at least" 3 other times why did nobody else in your tourney call to report them?


I say we fish 5 days a week and work 2.

Definitely would have went over to render first aid and when I departed they would have all required some degree of medical treatment! mad

Damn, there sure are a bunch of people arm chair quarterbacking it on here.

1. The above story is 100 percent true, no additions to the story.
2. We did not need to render aid, they were fine, just a few drunk [censored] that seemed to get a little instant karma.
3. We chose not to call the Game Warden, that was our choice that we made together. Hopefully whatever damage sustained to their boat will be enough to detour a repeat.

4. If you can't figure out by now I was the partner who culled 3 x's to help us secure a 3rd place.

Either call the GM ..... or not
help them ..... or not
Get in their face ...... or not

These things are your call. Do what YOU feel is the right thing to do, not what someone else "thinks" you should do.

For those of us that fish Athens all the time it is nice to have the information.
I personally have never had an issue on Athens ,,,,,,, but there is always that first time.

Thanks Nutman!
You are absolutely right. I've fished Athens and never had a problem. Love that lake.
Just a rare incident of a few young drunk kids.
And Just to clear things up, if they needed any medical attention or anything serious, we are good people, we would have obviously helped them.
They needed help getting sober and getting their boat off of the beach which we didn't feel obligated to do.

Well rendering aid may be a "choice" but the wrong choice is an illegal one, which is obviously what OP is so adamantly bragging about.

When they were headed right at you and picking up speed. How fast were they going? 5mph, 40mph?

Not Sure what you mean by Op bragging about. I'm just stating there was no need for medical attention. We definitely would have aided if needed. We just did not feel obligated to help them get their boat un beached.

Not really sure, but id guess somewhere between 20-30 mph and they probably beached the boat around the same speed, maybe a little slower.

20-30 mph and they got within 30ft before they turned. Should have called the GW. I would have wet myself if they were that close and that drunk.

We definitely had to check our undies! I think the only reason we didn't call was bc they received some instant karma. If they would have not beached the boat and kept driving around crazy we definitely would have called the GW. With their boat beached they were no longer a harm to anyone.

It doesn't take long to cover 30ft at 30mph. OP said he was thinking about jumping, if they hadn't turned he wouldn't have time to jump
