Sounds to me like there were too many tournament boats along with all the regular traffic for the lake. If the lake was large enough then there wouldn't be confrontations as everyone would have a spot to fish unimpeded. It doesn't matter how large the body of water is if the fish are location specific. I'm all for the tournament guys but there needs to be a limit to the number of them on the same days. If these things continue there will be regulation coming down the pike and the tournament guys will have no one to blame but themselves. You can clean it up yourselves or someone will do it for you. There won’t be a regulation. The real world doesn’t care about fishing drama.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

1) Todd, these guys went to the bank for a specific fish. Obviously they knew it was there before you or you would have went directly to it. Are you being serious with this or joking ?

2) Nobody knows who the guy or the kids are or if they were even entered in a tournament that day. It could have simply been a guy fishing with his kids. Put down the rope and don’t hang anyone until someone knows the facts.
We do know they were fishing the highschool event.. Now that being said all of have been cut off before... To me the bigger issue was the platform and it has been addressed..

I think the lesson here to the cheaters out there is if you are gonna cheat, which is what is going on with the ladder you might want to fly under the radar and not cut off then subsequently call one of the better fisherman in the state of Texas a D..... while he is in a Toyota event with the camera on lol.

And I’m not a fan of the look at me attention grabbing YouTube videos. I'm not a fan of the douche THSBA captains cursing a fellow angler out and setting a bad example in front of the youths. ^ of all that happened in the video this is what stood out to me the most. There has always been the unwritten rules amongst fishermen on the water, Todd is essentially explaining a few of those in the video for everyone who does not know them, tournament or no tournament. Clearly some of the comments in this post are coming from people who didn't watch it or are simply too ignorant to understand it, 1 + 1 can be difficult for grown [censored] men believe it or not. The boat captains comment and name calling in front of the children is sandbox, childish, and bush-league.

If it had been me i think I would have dropped my poles and started commentating in a low voice like they do in golf, ok he is positioned on the platform, he is pitching from left to right, there is a slight breeze from the north there fore he will need to keep projectile low , the pitch is underway, oh he left it about a foot short, lets see if he can save par lol.

I'm amazed anyone can watch this video and find fault in Todd's actions. He handled it way better than most would have been.
I think he would have been doing the young anglers a disservice to not point out that their captain was in the wrong, and he did it respectfully IMO.

There were boats all over that cove. To me, there is a difference between breaking a rule and cheating. I think of a cheater as someone who intentionally breaks a rule to win. I don't think the boat captain knew there was a rule against using a step ladder. Ignorance of a rule is not an excuse and yes he should have been DQed. He also probably didn't realize he was cutting off Todd. Hopefully this entire scenario is a good educational experience for future events.
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-13-25328-gco.jpg)
