Set an example, don't lower yourself to thier level.

Saturday morning, I decided to put some time in on Winnebago for some
largemouth in a few channels that I have had some success in the past.

The


first channel was directly across from the launch, so I launched and
motored over, and then dropped my trolling motor and just started to

fish.


I noticed as I was launching that a gentleman had just pulled up in
another bass boat and was getting ready to launch. So back to me

fishing


the opening of the channel, I hear a big outboard kick down and here

is

the nitro coming right for me wide open. Well he stops about 20 yards
short of me, but continues to idle the big motor past me, thinking he

is

going to go deeper into the channel (it is a small channel and that

****ed


me off that he would even pass me up to fish the channel) , but no he
stops about 30 feet in front of me, and starts fishing right in front

of

me. As loud as I could I said, I can't f*(*in believe this sh*t. He
wouldn't even turn around. Then I said as loud as I could , "That is

all


right, it is a big lake, and I don't need these fish, I know how to

find

my own".

I guess my biggest issue is, why did he do that ? I know I look

really

you, do you think that played a role in his boldness? I think that if

I

looked older he wouldn't have done it, but who knows. I guess it goes
back to etiquette, and if we were both in a tournament , would he have
pulled the same crap. It ****ed me off for about a half an hour,

before

I


went to another spot, and caught 3 legals in about 3 minutes, then I
really didn't worry about it anymore. But it still makes me wonder

what

would motivate someone to do something like that, something that I

would

never ever think of doing, tournament or not.

Bass_MR,

Yeah, I was pretty mad, and really wanted to get him back, but it was
the first stop in the morning, and I had a lot of area to fish, so
outside of words, I let it ride. He didn't even acknowledge I was
there. I will wait until tournament day, and hopefully he is there.

Chris



Charles,

That would have been sweet, now I wish I would have done something like
that. Hahaha, the look on his soaked face would have been priceless.

Chris



Right Warren, especially with my career aspirations, I wouldn't want to
jeapordize that before it even got started, and as much as I would have
liked to soak the guy, I would do what I did do and just move on. You
know me, though I still think the look on his face would have been
priceless, and comical, even if only fantasy :-)
