Back from Barkley..

So my question is how was the crappie fishin elwood? LMAO
Dave was tellin me about that last night and I was rollin, what an @$$bag. This is why I keep a C-rig tied on at all times, I've only chucked it at somebody once but not afraid to do it again.

I like the alternative buzzking...................My tippman paintball gun. They will leave a mark LOL

Elwood, I know for a fact I would have went to the Boat Ramps and reported the A$$hole for threatening you, would have gotten him DQ'd from the Tournament for unsportsmanship. Just to have reported him to any Tournament Official at any ramp would have been all you would have had to do. The word would have been spread to each ramp until the Boater was found and DQ'd.... Even to report him to a KYDFW Official.

Those series have message boards as well...I say, we, does some posting over there.

Dang Elwood I may have to hand over my avatar. Wish I could've been with you. A silver buddy leaves nice dings in Fiberglass.

From my perspective, it is a general sympton that is increasing with the "me", wannabe" and "disposal aspect" of society - lack of respect, honesty, integrity and courtesy to name a few. I think you see it in the divorce rate, at work, rage expressed at various levels of athletic activity from Little League, on the highways,etc. It is one of the reasons that I no longer hunt - too many crazies afield.

If the tourney was close I would have went to the ramp but it took out of the Moores on Kentucky and I was fishing North Barkley, way too far for my little boat to run. I did call the FLW office today and report the guy to a gentleman that was a tourney director. He said he would find out who it was and take appropriate action. There was a BP wrapped boat with a Yamaha that came in both mornings ahead of this jerk and the director knew who he is and would ask him if he knows this other idiot.

On a different note:

I have considered Greenfish as "Trash Fish" compared to my beloved Smallies for several years now. After catching so many fish last week and the past couple of days, I have now officially removed them from the "Trash Fish" list forever. Yes, I am spoiled in catching so many but I will be the first to admit it was fun. It still ranks behind my beloved FNF fishing at Dale Hollow the first week of December and is still behind my night fishing for Smallies in late May, June and July, but did close the gap somewhat. I will plan on spending at least a week (Mon thru Fri) at Ky and Barkley every year during this time from now on.

Try this e-mail Elwood, Dave Washburn is the head of Public Relations for FLW. They are based in Benton and if it was Stren Series event, that is one of their tourneys. Not saying it would work, but they probably don't want the bad publicity that comes from this kind of behavior.

Good luck

I could not remember the guys name that I spoke to this morning but that name sounds familiar. Thanks

If KDFWR wants to raise a few bucks, how about creating a tag for these jerks. I was fishing a point at Cumberland a few weeks ago and some yahoo in a pontoon comes by me, close enough to toss me a drink and beaches his pontoon on the very point I was fishing. I would have cussed him like a yard dog, but I heard his wife calling him a jerk for doing it. I figured mine would be second fiddle to what she was dishing out.

Elnut..hate to hear your trip was spoiled by an idiot. I don't bass fish anymore (as you know), LOL...(stripers now). Don't go replacing your boat. It's paid for, you catch plenty of fish out of it as well. I sold my bullet several years ago and guess what I bought last August? 17ft alumium Triton (cash) and I catch more fish now than I ever did. I do catch a lot of accidental brown fish. I don't worry about scratching it either! I know a guy with a red Ranger here in Somerset that has paid on it for about 3 or 4 years. He thought he could fish for a living...his wife was paying all of the bills. They got divorced and now the bank is trying to find the boat to repo it. LOL. I'll continue to putt around in my 40mph boat and catch plenty of fish and hope you do as well. Did I mention the $$$$ we save in fuel??? Hope you catch plenty every trip.

Fuel savings is great. I went down with a full tank and put exactly 6.5 gallons back in her before I put her back in the garage. Grant it the trolling motor did not burn much gas around Carmach Bay and the running between Carmach and Denumbers is not far plus putting in at Poplar Creek helped. As far as scratching her, I had it 3 months and took my first night trip to Cumberland night fishing for those "Trashfish" Stripers and scratched the heck out of it paralleling Pig Pen wall but landed my first Striper and a few more that night as well. Pretty weird scraping the wall on occasion and looking at the depth finder to see I was in 60-100 feet of water. Hearing all those bust on the surface made the scraping noise non-existent, even if it was a new boat. She is broke in pretty good and I don't even care anymore for it is a FISHING boat and it is paid for.

LOL....there it is!! Also we save money towing them as they are not as heavy...therefore the trucks use less gas. It rained very hard here for 3 straight hours, so I guess I'll go to work and try to fish tomorrow.
