Some fisherman are idiot's

[bassiusmaximus]

Went bassfishing tonight and had a nice spot on a point of the lake. Was about thirty feet from the bank and about ten feet between us and the tree's that are sticking up all the way out to about 20 feet off the point from the bank. Was catching fish. Here comes this boat down the lake right towards us. They come off plane and put out their crappie poles about 100 yards away. No big deal. So we sit and continue to fish all around the point while never moving our boat. The boat with the idiots come closer. I'm starting to get a little itchy wondering what they are up to. Yup you guessed it they come trolling right between us and the trees. Now the one idiot says "you ever fish that point over there?" Dumbfounded at their ignorance I say "yup fished everywhere" and my partner says to him "have you ever run over someone while fishing" and he says no. My partner says "well your coming pretty @@#! close to it right now." The idiot shuts up but gets stuck on a stump and starts spinning his boat in a circle trying to get off the stump. He's so close that his poles are scraping the side of my buddy's boat. I mean come on is anybody that stupid? Obviously, the answer is yes. In his partners defense I think he couldn't believe that his buddy was doing and knew it was just wrong. However if you hang around idiots then your an idiot too. If I am in my boat and see em. I will repay the favor in spades.They will be pretty easy to spot. Two goofy looking guys in their middle to upper thirties wearing boony hats. Won't forget their faces. Dumb and dumber.
Anybody else see someone do something that should piss you off but while your seeing em do it your just standing there in awe of the level of ignorance you are seeing?

Hate to read of the idiots...ain't nothing worse than having an idiot mess up a good day on the water. Boat's workin' good, no problems...new line on the reels, didn't forget to bring anything this time, the weather is perfect, the wife was happy to see me go, and a few fish are being caught, it don't get any better...and then, here come the idiots!

I've had numerous bass fisherman come through where the family was bank fishing and cast into our lines,a couple times tangling up with ours and I cut their line.
I've had both bass boats and pleasure boats run through my planer boards while close to one bank,I've been anchored and had boats move right up on top of us,even though there were thousands of acres of water out there.
The biggest scare I ever had was while fishing out of a 14' john boat I was trolling up Laurel Lake toward the upper river section when from around a blind bend 12 wide bass boats running full throttle came around on me headed in to check in I presume,from a tourney. They narrowly missed hitting me head on,scared the crap out of me and nearly swamped the boat with their wake.

Myself and a buddy were tied of on the closest pylon near the rock wall at the 31-E bridge (which is about 10 feet wide) on Barren one night fishing for hybirds when a guy in a 12 foot jon boat pulls his boat nose to nose with ours and tied off also. He starts off telling us he had to get behind the pylon because he was skeered someone was going to run him over or a wave was going to take him out, well duh, your out on a very busy lake at night in a jon boat what did you expect. Then the talk turns to all the fish he has caught right there so of course that was why he pulled in there. We fished there maybe 15 more min and the whole time I was thinking what can I do to this guy for being stupid that want kill him and then it hit me.

Since the guy was sitting nose to nose with us I decided to untie off the pylon using my super bright docking lights, so I waited until he was looking right at them, hit the switch and watched his pupils light up. He turned his head exorcist style while saying "oh man that was bright". I untied and said "see" you later.

I was fishing a deep long bluff wall one time and was picking up a few nice smallmouth. All of a sudden a big huge shiny sparkling bass boat, musta been 35ft long, maybe closer to 20ft long anyway he was running at least 60mph and shut it down just in time not to hit the wall. I was trying not to hit the wall and stay in my boat! They jumped up and started fishin right in front of me! No way my trolling motor could keep up so I fired up the big motor and got between them and the bank and started trolling a crankbait. They stop, I stop they go I go. After a couple of minutes one of them says hey bud were in a big tournament, do you mind getting out of the way. I said I was sorry I didnt realize that. Reeled in my crankbait and wished them luck. I put my boat in gear and ran wide open as close as possible back and forth on that bank. They didnt stick around for some reason. I have learned over the yrs if your dealing with an idiot, youre the one with the problem.
