WOW!!! You seem to be a magnet to some very rude people. I've been fishing for 40 years and have never come across the aggressive and rude people that you have. WOW!!!What is it about you? Is it an IOWA thing?
Have a great day!

I have lived other places. I can tell you Iowa doesn't have a monopoly on rude people or idiots. Rick stands his ground well, I have to admire.

I got props for you Rick. here in California, if I had thrown him in I woulda gotten sued if I stayed around to fish and get identified.

Hi All,
I can't imagine doing what that guy did to Rick, or that sort of thing to another fisherman. It shows what some folks will do.
I'm sort of a passive sort, and would probably just have moved. However, I have to respect Rick's action, he gave the idiot exactly what he had earned. WAY TO GO RICK!

That's why I don't go down and fish with him anymore. Nasty people in the SW portion of the state. Ha!Originally Posted by Greg Hunsicker

Kudos for not following up with several rocks or a brick, or a cement block...

The reason anglerdave does not come down and fish any more is that I outfished him so badly.
The real reason is a problem with schedules.

Having also experienced "Rude People" in my part of the country, all I can say is "KUDOS!"

I've got to agree with Greg on this one. In over 55 years of fishing, (bait, hardware, plastic, fly, freshwater, saltwater or brackish water) I've never run into anyone who intentionally tried to be rude or start trouble. Yes, I've been crowded, had people cast across my line, even had families wade/swim through pools I've been fishing but the majority of these incidents are most frequently due to ignorance of fishing courtesy and inexperience. I've never had physical threats directed at me or used physical threats toward another fisherman. Keep in mind that I'm talking about other fishermen not jet skiers or water skiers. 8T
