I had a similar situation happen this weekend. It amazes me how ill mannered some bass fishermen are these days. It felt great to pull the second place sack out of my livewell right in front of him though. A good tongue lashing won't get you to far with these kinda people..It's just in them to be rude.

thats when u tie on a 1.5 oz chunk of tungsten and hit the side of his boat!! on accident of course

Yeah, two wrongs always make a right.

Reporting back to the TD is CS in my opinion...its kinda like tattle telling aint it? Handle it on the water, which he did by saying something to the guy and let all all your buddies know and other folks as well that may be fishing with the dude so word gets out to the guy. He may stop...he may not. If he don't, justice will be served cuz he'll keep doing it to other folks and eventually get run off anyways more than likely the ole fashioned way. I'm just not gonna pull out my phone and snap a pic of the guy and go tell his momma. If I was there first I'm gonna fish my spot and I'm not gonna leave til I'm ready to. A forum is here to spread information I thought.... which is what he was doing.

Kinda like the fat guy at Falcon being rude to everyone.... I didn't know about the guy but I appreciate everyone saying something about it on here for the next time I go down there. If I do..

I ain't ever seen anybody do that... alot of folks say it but the net makes people alot tougher and braver for some reason. I would never do that to someone and I doubt anyone would ever do it to me. never know though... PEople are nuts these days.

I agree 100%. It called proper edicate or in tournament terminology (SPORTSMANSHIP). Plain and simple. No one is saying they own the water but if someone is fishing a particular area, leave them be. Come back later or ask to join them. What's so hard about that? I can almost guarantee the guys that have a problem with men who speak up about these issues are the main violators of this UNWRITTEN RULE. They probably couldn't find nevertheless catch a fish if their life depended on it. Just saying.....

I haven't used Tungsten, but i have used a 1oz jig. Will do it again too. But I usualy just bounce the Gelcoat. I don't try to kill someome by hitting them in the head with it.

I guess I was just raised with some manners and Respect and I get mad when someone pushes too far.
Anyone who pulls

Maybe you missed the part where I said I asked him if he wanted to get in the boat with me...so I did "deal with it there".

Guys a a-hole in my opinion, your a gentleman for not taking it alittle farther. Sounds like a big-Bass tourney to me, lots of idiots on one spot. Too bad you didnt put on a clinic in front of them lol...

you must have a lot of money handy when it comes to repairing peoples boats.... I'm sure a 1oz weight could do some damage.

It will put a chip in it, But I never have had a problem with them coming back on me. I am sure it was an accident that my jig hit them when they were too close though.

not with the last post you put on a public forum saying youll do it again.... I'm just sayin... you chip my boat and my gelcoat is gonna be looking saaaaweet after Chris at Classic gets done with it on your dime. Just think before you act... but I don't crowd folks.

Its official... cabin fever has set in. Yall hang in there, warm weather and good fishing is right around the corner!

there was a spot on the pines this weekend where there were 4 boats fishing there at one time. the spot is really only big enough for one boat, but people will crowd in there like that is the only place on the lake to fish. I think if there is a boat fishing a small area you need to respect them and go find another spot to fish. the problem is we have too many idiots fishing who cant find their own fish and have to crowd community holes. these wannabee bass fishermen need to spend some time on the water finding their own spots, and show some respect to other anglers. it used to be first one there got the hole. now its come one come all. Its an embarasment to the sport.And for those of you that dont think this needs to be addressed your probably the idiots doing it.Learn to fish, and stay out of other boats livewells.
