I Can't Believe This Happened AGAIN! (Worst I've Ever Seen)

Don't let idiots get you down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXuQIgo6fgw

As a boater myself, I don’t get within a 200yds of bank fisherman. It’s just plain ole rude to encroach on a man’s spot.

I watched this and I actually got angry with adrenaline. I’ve experienced this several times as well. I think you handled it better than I would have. I usually say things like, “so you have access to this entire 1800 acre lake, and you choose to fish near the only bank fisherman on the lake? How about some fucking common courtesy?” That’s the main reason why I fish overnight. No boats.

Stupidity is everywhere. Even a guy chilling along the shore with a rod off the bank can't get away from it.

I was fishing on the Mississippi and had this happen. I tried warning them but they just completely ignored me. Then, after they snagged me up, the guy turns around and yells "Not my fault you are too broke to afford a boat!". Some people just don't care.

You're one coolheaded guy.

Glad you took the trash. Always clean up trash on the shore, it’s being a responsible fisherman.

I can remember when fishing was enjoyable and when you'd encountered other fishermen, you'd have a friendly conversation. Boy have times changed.

I hate seeing this total asinine disrespect and lack of common courtesy from those bird brain boaters. You handled it well under the circumstances. Those boaters will eventually run into someone not as kind and will end up as turtle feed at the bottom of the lake.

I'm a boat fisher, and I'm sorry you had to experience that.we all are not like that i bet people in boats have trouble from these idiots. You handled that so much better than I would have.

Some years back we experienced the same problem in the UK. We ended up with one spare rod armed with 20lb line and a 2oz lead. Solved the problem of not carrying firearms in the UK.

That shit happened on my local public dock. The same boat kept trolling close to the dock ignoring everyone on the dock who had to keep pulling lines in to not get snagged. One old dude had enough and grabbed his chinook rig out of his truck. He tossed a huge treble hook and weight over their bow and pulled several $100 of their rods and reels into the lake to sink. That's the answer to those assholes that call us Bankies.

This is the exact reason I keep 1 fishing pole with a 3oz to 5oz weight tied on .... I yell 3 times if they still come close they become part of my casting practice

Nxt round put a sacrificial 100 lb test line on the outskirts of your baited lines. I once got a $35 muskie lure that some chump trolling hooked into my anchor line.

You really handled this well man. Love how your final ID on him came from "That gravelly stupid voice" 😂

People who have no consideration for others annoys me greatly. I don’t think I could have handled it as calmly as you did.

I know how you feel. I'm a boater and a shore fisherman. When I'm on the boat, I dont go near the shore. But has happened to me in so many situation when fishing on shore. Boaters comes in and cast over my lines and don't even care. Plays victims and argues that I'm wrong and planning to call the DNR. I told them to call.

Several years ago I was sailing into a marina on the Columbia and a guy was fishing across the entrance. It was dusk and I didn't see him or his line. He was sitting in his car on the jetty. My keel had already caught his line and drug his rig in. I was under sail as I normally sailed into my slip. He came over to the marina and wanted me to buy him a rig. I said no way. "You expect me to see your fishing line when you didn't see a 25 ft boat with a 30 ft mast? This river is hundreds of miles long but you chose to fish at the entrance to the marina." he agreed and left.

Many years ago my dad and I were bank fishing when a group of people came and start playing in the water all around us. We left, and as we were going to the car I noticed a set of keys on the ground by their car. As we were driving across the bridge on the way home I tried to throw their keys to them, but they did not make it and ended up on the bottom of the lake. Oops!

Don't know about other places, If you notify the game warden here with that video and their boat registration number, the game department will mail the boat owner a citation
