Was fishing last night in Texoma. Found a crappie hotspot. Was catching em pretty good including the 16 inch guy below when a jet ski zooms in off the the lake into out shallow area. We are waving him off, as we are fishing and in a small boat. He just does a big doughnut in front of us and yells "you don't own the "expletive deleted" lake.

These guys will ruin it for everyone. The day will come when we'll have the same rules on the lake as the road. Speeding, reckless boating, turn signals, stop lights and cameras to make sure you get the ticket.

nice looking fish

Nice fish. Sir we "can't fix stupid. " idiots are every during summer month. I love fishing but those stupidity people will make my blood boil.

Nice fish! Yup, some people are just a-holes and don't have any common sense and feel they are king.

Sweet size fish!!! I agree I've had lots of jetski problems while fishing from the bank and boat. I don't see how ppl can have lack of respect for others on the water sometimes. Yeah, maybe some don't realize what they're doing but common sense does kick in sooner or later. Another thing I hate are throw net guys who will go right where you're fishing and throw the net over and over and don't seem to have a problem with it. To me respect is a must when in public areas or at least common sense. Nice catch once again!!!

respect is one thing, ending up dead or in the hospital if they lose control of that thing and come crashing over my small boat is another. Sad we'll likely have to wait until someone (probably a child) dies before they rein in this dangerous activity.

Nice crappie! Too bad bout the idiot. I have skis and get irretated all the time at people being dumb like that. I always made sure not to buzz people in my boats or on the skis. Its just rude. I think we should be able to thump people for acting like terds then they wont act like terds.

Get the Reg. # and call the Game Warden. Cite one of these violations and tell GW you want him cited.

And the GW will tell you that he cannot cite it if he did not witness the violation.
MIGHT be different if you have it on video...

Years ago (1996?) there were several jet ski's "jumping wakes" behind large boats on Texoma near Grandpappy point. One of them mis-timed his jump and landed in the cabin of the boat. 2 dead and 5-6 injured. Nearly 20 years later, Still nothing regarding new rules to stop these idiots!
the jet ski industry is a huge lobby with lots of money!

You hit the nail on the head PKfishin. We have the same problem with the idiots on Lake Dunlap. But the truth is, its gonna take someone to get killed before anything is done about it.

thats when u hook his a$$ with a DD22 and yank him off, he will think twice before doing it again.

Haha, i agree with all the above. With that i said i have a couple of jet skis and am very respectful to everyone on the lake. Its just the idiots that ruin it for everyone and that goes both ways too.

I run into more rude people in wake board boats than Jet Skis.

yea ive seen some idiots driving bass boats too, no respect for anyone just cutting people off, pulling in infront them when they are clearly fising a stretch of bank.

I think its a mindset a lot of people have been brought up with in the last decade are so of Me First and not do unto others as you would have them do unto you.Sad To Say.Lets all try and do better.
