It really is as simple as that.

I had a guy try to jump on my spot while I was in a tournament on Barkley. I was C-rigging a hump, and he came right in on me. I told him that I was there first, and he got smart. I asked if he was in a tournament, he said he wasn't ( I was going to file a complaint). He asked if I was, and I said yes. He then started to tell me how tournament fishermen think they own the water, etc. I said that didn't matter in this situation, because I was there first. It didn't matter if I was in a tournament or not, I had the spot.

He swung around again to come in on my spot, and I lobbed my C-rig at his boat, and hit it in the side. That 1 1/2 oz egg sinker made a really pretty CCCRRAAAACCCCKKKK sound when it hit his boat. He started cussing and giving me the finger, but then he left. I guess getting c-rigs lobbed at his boat wasn't worth it to him. LOL
Dude hope ya dont ever do that to the wrong person. I know someone that did the same and the guy in the other boat pulled out an auto pistol and put 3 holes in the side of his boat and then drove off.

Back to the thread. I do both types of fishing and I must say that tourney fisherman cut me off more then others and yes I know they are fishing a tournament cause I ask them, then I give em a peace of my mind and follow behind them and when they leave and go to their next spot i follow them and pull right in front of em. The spot belongs to the first person there no matter who you are. I must take my hat off to the ones that ask because they usually dont. But if ya cut me off I will return the favor.
And by the way someone define GOOD OLE BOYS.
