Yes I have cussed but NEVER destroyed "SOME ELSE'S" property. I think that he is also guilty of not showing respect for others as well as the sport.
A few years ago I was fishing a Red Man tourney in April at Cumberland. I had a set of docks located up in a creek arm and in the afternoon the water temp would warm up around these docks and some big sows would move up around them to bask in the warm water. I was a non-boater and drew a guy from Cincy. He was on a pattern of some good ky bass. I told him that I had only one area to fish that day that I had any confidence in so he agreed to take me there around noon. About noontime we had both blanked so we proceeded to the warm water around the docks. I skipped a smoke weightless tube under one of the docks and a real hawg grabbed it. After a lengthy battle (8lb. test on spinning gear) we slipped the net under her. I new the big girl was close to a 6pounder and felt confident that I had a shot at the $1000 big fish prize. There was already water in my right side livewell so I put her in it and shut the lid. When we were done fishing the docks we cranked up the big Merc and headed towards the weigh-in site. While running something told me to look in the well and check on my fish. To my astonishment the well was bone dry! I yelled to him to stop the boat. We quickly came to a hault and proceeded to turn on the livewell to give her some dire needed water and got her back to breathing better again. The boater had only had this new boat for a couple of weeks and wasnt familiar with all the switches on the livewell system. Did I scream or throw a temper-tantrum? No. It was my fault for not going over the correct livewell operation before we left the dock that morning. I was not his responsibility to take care of my fish in the first place. Ike at no time admitted to neglagence on his part. Have I cusssed outloud because of a missed fish or a broken line? Yes. Did I tear anything up? No. Fishing is between you and the fish. Just take a look in the mirror and see who is at fault. Learn from it and go on .Yes I still did win the big fish money and she was in good shape.

I too suffer from insomnia on a weekly basis, LOL. I do the same thing, get up and do work from my puter at home. My work has me set up to work from home in cases of emergencies, weekends, etc.
WOW, too much in common, we have to get together sometime. I'll be down at Prizers from 4/26 to 4/30. Let me know if you'll be around.
I love Prizers Point. Are you camping, staying at one of their cabins, or just in and out on those days?
Let's stay in touch about that, I'd love to come down and fish with you. As I've said lately, I'm currently unemployeed, but I do have a very important interview on the 9th. That could mean weekdays will be out again. But hey, maybe we can fish on Saturday or Sunday together then.

heck yea gotten mad ,cussed and just ready to explode!! but...... never in the posion ike is in on tv with thousands of fans ,young and old, watching needs to get a handle on his temper
Danny, I've been staying at Prizers at least once every year for the past 9-10 years. Great facility, cabins restaurant (especially breakfast)!
I will be there most of the week but on the Sat and Sunday we will be having our club T, so lets try to hook up during the week if the job thing doesn't go the right way (I hope you get it though!). You just drive on down and hop onboard, or maybe one weekend evening we could get over to Pattys for some of those great chops!
We will be renting a Bungalo, there will be 3-4 of my buddies there with me and about 25 other club members, come on down and meeet us, you'll have a ball. These guys are a lot of fun!
Actually, one of the guys staying at the Bungalo is my old fishing partner from Massachusettes, he is buying a new Ranger Z21 from Jet-a-Marine and picking it up that week. So he is going to stay with us to learn the lake a little. He has been fishing the Everstart Notrthern Trail for a couple years now and has enough points to move up to the FLW next year. Since the FLW comes to KY Lake every year I suggested he hang around with us that week and get a feel for the lake. Also suggested he book a trip with Dave if he has any openings that week. He is a real character too and will tell you some big fat lies about me, don't believe him though!
Let see if we can't get this to happen this year.
