Ish Monroe came OUT of his boat after another Fisherman

[sweetwater]

These days a good ole country ass whupping is like some heinous crime. I remember a time when it just wasn't that big a deal. Every now and then somebody took one, and it was all over. No carrying on, no cops, and no lawsuits, the situation was generally settled.

Somebody runs into my sled hard enough to crack fiberglass...unless he's looking all Brock Lesner over there, I'm on his ass like a real expensive suit.

Since most people, including myself, probably has a firearm of some type in their boat I don't know if that would be a good idea or not. Since Ish knew the guy was a fellow competitor he also knew that he did not have a gun on him. I bet Ish would not act so bad*** to someone if he thought they might have a gun on them.

Good point, I got no argument for that.

I bet Ish wouldn't have acted so bad *** to someone if they hadn't run into him either.

I have never had another fisherman hit my boat so I don't know how I would react. I'm sure the dude didn't intentionally run into Ish, apparently he was just being an idiot by letting his boat get out of control. Ish had every right to get upset at the guy. When Ish escalated it into a physical altercation is when he became a bigger idiot than the other guy was. There is just no excuse for that kind of behavior especially when it is by someone that I'm sure is admired by a lot of kids and regular folks. In my opinion he has given a black eye to everyone that calls themselves a bass fisherman and left up to me I would suspend him from competition for at least a year.
