HMMMM Where is the courtesy in launching a rattletrap at someone or threatening to to whip their ass."Our fish" are we entitled to them when we find them?I have been there too,for money and just fun fishing i usually just pick up and politely tell them they can have it and leave for a shortwhile and comeback and usually they are gone.It will be a matter of time but i believe we will see the day when someone gets killed or hurt over a fish.practice courtesy if you want to preach it..
