I think that some guys out fun fishing automatically lump all tournament guys together and feel like they are out to get them. I think that the best way to look at it is that not all tournament guys are d-bags and not all guys out fun fishing are good ol' boys. Just treat everybody with respect and hope you get the same in return. If you don't, screw them. If you do, then it's all good.


I kinda feel like this guy. I try not to lump them all together, but they make it tough not to sometimes. If things get out of hand, one cal always shoot a pic or two with your cell and take it up with the tourney director at the weigh-in. Can also mention bad behavior to the tourney sponsors in hopes they will bring it up to their fishermen.
