Happens every year when the assholes of spring start to bloom.

I would have said, "nice spot to fish aye? I was just about to hit it
myself -- let me know how you make out..."

My tack - a polite insult that isn't enough to provoke a fight, but
hopefully enough to provoke some thoughts on etiqutte.

That probably wouldn't have been a good move anyways; Chris, regardless
of
what others do on the water YOU should ALWAYS act with courtesy & respect.
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.
