Many people forget that fishing is for fun and enjoyment, especially when they're fishing a tourney for money and bragging rights.

Why are blackbass fisherman the absolute worst about respecting other fisherman's space - Because, we can be, We are the ones that pay top dollar for overly priced boats, We are the ones who buy 400.00 reels when 99.00 reels would work just as good, We are the ones that have 3-400.00 rods that break just as easily as 79.00 one or that are kicked in the lake by people that have no idea what Tungsten weights are, We are the ones that pay 8000.00 for electronics for our 60K boats, We are the ones that have more screens on our boats than the space shuttle, We pay 60-150.00 for swimbaits we never use, We don't care about the price of gas, as long as Bass Pro is open, We are the ones that run 70+mph everywhere we go, and don't care how close we get to u, We are the ones that spend the money that drives the fishing industry, and puts millions in government pockets. Why you ask? Because we can. And the other fisherman are complaning about us? Yea right, I see these guys all the time, and they are always showing me I am #1

Yeah, I don't run into near as much trouble with other anglers as I do the skiers and pleasure-boaters. There's a perfectly good portion of lake 100 yards out from us, yet they always feel the need to go right past us. Right over what they don't realize is a point that gets up to 3' with scattered stumps freak

I got a couple. The first one was my buddy fishing on a Tuesday on our favorite lake. He pulls up to a bank and starts fishing. A few hundred yards away he sees a bass boat come around a point and start down the bank toward him. The bass boat catches up to him and starts casting right where my buddy is casting. My buddy tries to ignore him but he continues until he crosses my buddy's line and tangles him up. By now my buddy is furious. He untangles the lines and tells the guy to back off. The guy says he is fishing a tournament and that this was his bank and that my buddy should have seen him coming. This guy proceeded to come within a few feet of my buddy's boat so that my buddy couldn't cast to the bank. His fist was clenched and was about to hop to the other boat and see if that guy could swim. It's not easy to do, but you just have to ignore these guys. They give all fisherman a bad name. We don't fish that lake on Tuesday nights anymore. They can have it.

The other one is the time my buddy and I were fishing a point on a feeder creek that fed into a big river. We saw some bank anglers on the one point so we went to the other point. My buddy just put down the trolling motor when he heard a splash. He looks around and doesn't see anything and then looks at the anglers on the far point. The one angler is reeling in and looking right at my buddy. He had cast a hunk of lead and stopped it 3 ft from our boat. Now that was an impressive cast. He had some kind of surf rod and was trying to push us off that point. My buddy asks him if he just cast at us and the guy says we are sitting on top of the fish. We tried to stay but after several close calls from lead flying past our heads, we left. My buddy wanted to go over and see if they could swim, but I backed him off. They had plenty of water to fish and we gave them plenty of room. If they had asked us nicely and told us that they were catching fish off that point we would have respected them and moved even though they were casting well past what any normal person would or could.

Last year we were fishing for striped bass and had a school zeroed in. We lost it and was circling trying to find it. We see a guy a hundred yards away start setting the hook. He caught several in short order. I told my buddy that the fish were over there now. We asked the other boat if he minded us coming over and fishing the school. He said no problem and we went over and caught a few. For his respectful invitation we gave him some fishing lures. Now he is a good friend.

Expecting someone to solicit leave from you to fish diving birds or surfacing stripers is a bit much.

I am just wondering, is this a serious post, or, are you making fun of the bass fishermen? If this is a serious post, someday you'll find out that you do not own the lakes.

Had a run in with a guy fishing a tournament on Livingston last year. Me and a few buddies were checking our jug lines, throwing a couple rods out rigged with bluegill to see if we could get a morning cat. Well I ended up catching a 8.6lb monster bass...right as MrBassProHimself comes around the pointe. I hold up the fish as a nice "hey theres fish here" gesture. He flips me off then guns his boat towards us. Starts raising hell about how we just f'd up his fish and he should whoop us for using bait, that were too young to even be on the lake. He calls the Game Warden on us. They show up after 20 minutes of ugly glares. Check both coolers and licenses. Then tell the guy he overreacted and is getting a ticket for a false report. Even those guys dont like em

Its amazing how seeing a boat catch a double digit bass will make people lose their minds.
