Sorry for the folks that don’t have FB, but here’s another fishing altercation that is becoming more and more common. Angry dock owner upset about people fishing around his dock. So upset, he feels the need to carry a shotgun to confront the fishermen. This was in the Fishers of Men tournament this weekend on Miller’s Ferry near Camden. Y’all know him?

Bhamfred???

Id a kept flipping his dock.

I’d be contacting the law. He better be careful or one night he might wake up to a big bonfire.

Oh wow.id been on the news for sure.what a Karen
Ain't no way I'd be fishing public waters and deal with that guy and not called water patrol atleast for ole boys best interest with me or in future.someone needs to explain how the world on the lake work's
I'm afraid I would not have been nearly as friendly easing my boat away.
I hope y'all fish the hell out of his pier.public water screw him would be a bad situation with me involved .old guy like that ought to know better.
Someone needs to educate him before he gets hurt
And in south Alabama what a shame

Probably had someone steal something from his dock. Think he accused him of trying to look for something. I am proud of the fella fishing by asking God to bless him. I would have fell short and probably said some stuff I shouldn’t have…. That dock was all wood weren’t it?

There's a lot of that crap now-days. I bet he's gonna have some issues real soon that he don't want. They should have baited him into making threats that included use of that gun while they were videoing.
He ain't right for sure, wearing socks with flip-flops lol

We used to own a cabin on the water down there but I don’t remember anyone like that!

I think he Retired too early and his Wife is on his Azz daily about Stupid stuff !! No grown Man in his right mind should be conducting himself like he did !! NO Doubt an underlying Issue somewhere in his pathetic life.

had a run in with the same moran last summer flipping his dock, probably a liberal

Keep fishing. If he threatens you more, just take a video and call the local Sheriff's office and file a complaint. He only owns the priviledge of putting a dock there and technically, you could have jumped off on his dock and other than getting shot he could do nothing, APCO owns the water and allows you access. Unless it is Neely. There is only 1 place in the whole Coosa River chain where you own the dock and it is considered private property.

I'd have been on the phone with the Wilcox GW and the sheriff. But that idiot right there, is exactly why I have an A/R tossed in the rod box and a 9MM laying on top of the console, up against the windshield, anytime I am fishing on the river. People are idiots these days and you never know what kind of situation you might run into. Dumbasses like him think they own the public water that their property touches, which in AL they do not, and there are plenty of stupid people like him on every lake and river. There's some pretty rough boys that fish the ferry on a regular basis. Old man keeps that up, and waving that shotgun around, he'll find the right redneck and he'll end up ventilated and bleeding out on his dock. Hope he gets his temper under control before it kills him.

We have a guy that has a summer home on Blackwater Bay that does the same thing. He is originally from NY. His dock was destroyed by weather and he still hollers when people try to fish around it.

I believe his neighbor was or is a federal GW.

I would like to see his reaction if the ol' boys in the boat would have just completely ignored him like he wasnt even there and kept on fishing. I bet that old man would have flipped his lid before it was over.


On a serious not though, the best thing to do in that situation in my opinion is just get the hell out of there before you got shot by a crazy person. Then call the po-po before he kills someone else.

Might get away acting like that in south FL, but he’ll earn a Darwin Award in Wilcox County.

I've watched B.A.S.S. and MLF pros work marina boat slips and private docks over like a sponge soaking up water... and never have seen or heard of anyone of them being harassed by a shotgun toting senior citizen , so what makes this dude so special ? maybe they should have not fished his private boat slip but its public water

There is nothing wrong with fishing his "private" boat dock. As long as they didn't put a foot on it, they are good. I'm not cocky at all, but I will fish whatever boat dock I want to, in the state of Alabama. That was harassment by the old man, and the only law being broken, pending nothing happened before the recording started.

Yep. But one of these days he's going to be toting a gun down there to scare someone and it ain't going to work out for either of them.

A lady was videoed yelling and spraying a some guys with a water hose and it went viral and it snowballed into fish so and so’s dock. The next week hundreds of boats gathered in front of the pier as marine police stood by.
