He may not have known JP, for him to have not known that could be an issue he must have never read the rules, or any rules for any other tournament because I have never seen that allowed in any trail, both kids must have never read the rules either after an entire season as this was regionals. That is giving a huge benefit of the doubt to the situation. Now where I could see a gray area is maybe since he was not the angler he thought he could use it but when I captained I assumed that all the rules that applies to the kids applies to me as well, which is a fair assumption i would think.

Also his "you got something to say" and "well I think you are a D...." doesn't speak well to the having an moment of ignorance

That kind of made me think the guy is not a newbie.

The simple answer is both contributed and either one could have prevented it altogether.

The video that started this thread is at 21k views. His last confrontation video on Fork had 13k views. His confrontation video on Toledo last summer has 94k views. His last 5 videos averaged 5.36k views. Make of that what you like. Drama sells. I'll try to avoid watching the bass fishing version of reality tv from now on.

I did watch the video and I did listen to Todd’s explanation. Would I have done the same? No. I think Todd could have avoided the situation. He is too good of an angler to be worried about a 10 yard stretch of bank on a lake the size of Texoma. Was the other boat in the wrong? 100%
Could Todd have avoided a confrontation? 100% He threw his line towards them on purpose as he admitted in his video. He sat there on the front of the boat staring at the other boat waiting for a response, and he finally got one.
Lesson here, next time take a picture the the boat numbers and people in it if it was a violation taking place and move on. Then report them to the tournament director and let them handle the situation. It sounds like they have and I’m fine with that.
Guys are getting their panties in a wad for being cut off on a lake while fishing. roflmao
You know how many times I have been cut off by a car on a road, someone in line at an amusement park, someone at a grocery store, someone in a beer line at a bar or concert?! I could go on and on! C’mon man! Like I said, life is too short for this stuff! Enjoy your day on the water, tell someone excuse me, tell someone thank you, tell someone to go ahead in front of you. See how much happier you will be at the end of the day.
Now everyone go have a great day!

WAWI is probably right on this. (that hurts to say it out loud)

I'd venture to say that at least 75% of the captains and 80% of the anglers have never sat down and read the rules. (I feel I'm probably light on my percentages.........)

^^^ This. He's on a ladder cussing someone out in front of either his kid and/or someone else's, potentially putting them in harms way with his comments. Good news is, it's been handled.

I personally witnessed a dq this year on a team in first place with big bass, because they were not following the rules. As I watched the video last night I was ashamed how some people represent the sport. It’s not how I was taught and it’s not how my son or his partner was taught. I captained my son’s tournaments this year, we wore team jerseys and knew when we put those jerseys on what we represented. Obviously we represented ourselves, we represented our high school, and the THSBA and our sponsors. THSBA catches flack, a lot, they aren’t perfect, but don’t let the actions of bad actors ruin your perception for everyone, especially the ones doing it right.

Ken thank you for the time you dedicate to THSBA.

By the way, we don’t fish a skeeter.

I am glad this video was posted, let’s use this as an opportunity to teach what’s right and to teach sportsmanship.

This post has been super helpful. The fact that anyone would think this isn’t a blatant example of getting cut off explains the lack of common sense we experience on the water. Saying everyone doesn’t have to follow your rules is nonsense. This is the most basic courtesy that even a child should understand. Todd was fishing the bank and it was clear which direction he was going. The guy was coming from across the cove and by the time he got to the spot, was within a cast of Todd. Hell, he stood on the trolling motor. Who cares if he saw him initially…he definitely saw him well before he got to the spot and at that point he should have either gone behind him or moved on. Judge Todd however you want but personally I’m glad he said something. Todd was right. It’s no wonder some people continue to cut others off. It works because some never speak up. If you don’t ask for or give respect, you shouldn’t expect it.
