A man and his wife were fishing a brushpile. Another boat pulled up and demanded they leave. that's when the fireworks began. It resulted i The guy tat was fishing peacefully ending up in jail. The one that started the ruckus got a $750 ticket for harassment. I have seen this same scenario played out on several lakes in Alabama. It has bled over to tournament weigh in's too. Be careful out there. I occurs often on Logan Martin. This particluar case happened on T-Bend.

If someone pulls a gun for any reason other than defending thenselves, they need to go to jail. I'm retired military, if I pull a gun on you I'm planning on shooting you. As soon as he pulled that gun the other guy would have been within his rights to defend themselves. It's getting crazy out there. I am very pro gun and believe everyone that has never been convicted of a violent act should carry, but know when to pull it out.

PITIFUL.

I stick my pistol in my boat every time I fish. But it's not why you think.
I don't want some thug to get it if my window gets knocked out at the ramp.
I ain't getting in a gunfight over a dang fish.
There's been some thuggery at ramps around Gville. They targeting spare tires on boat trailers.

If the guy really was running his boat around the couple within inches of their boat - I would not convict him is I was on his jury.

Use of a vehicle in that manner is grounds to defend yourself and your wife with whatever means necessary.

Friend of my dads dad had same thing happen to him on the Warrior many years ago. About the third pass around them he emptied a 1911 into their boat hull. Harrassment stopped. Problem solved.

One may get away with some chitt bothering me, but if my wife is with me she is going to whip yer ass or shoot you.

I grew up on the water an my dad moved to the place i grew up so he could fish every single day. Anywho my uncle an daddy wer fishin one day an they was wearin the crap outah some school fish. When outah knowhere another bass boat come pealin up in tha middle of their fishin hole. Well ma uncle was the kinda feller who just didnt give a datgum an he carried a 38 witheem everwhere. They just started fishin an daddy was the same way but he liked to give people a chance. He asked them if they could move back some because where the boat was sittin was where they wer castin. They told daddy to got to heck.. They said they had been watchin them catch fish an it was their turn. The hole time my uncle just sit in the back of the boat Mindin his business. Finally one ivem slung their lure up on the back of the boat an it got hung in the carpet... My uncle looked down at it,reached in his pocket an pulled his knife out an cut the line the feller on the other end said ima bout to throw you in the lake an ma uncle just said really, he folded his knife.. Put it in his pocket reached in the other an pulled his pistol out and shot bout 10ft in front of the boat them other fellers was in. He toldem they could leave now or stay if they wanted to but theyd have to vacate their boat an swim back to the ramp. They left an pap an unc continued to fish. This happened about 40 years ago so things have changed from then til now, people will tell on you if u shoot at their boat nowadays.. Buncha sissys

Let's face it - some ppl deserve to be shot. I have no use for bad ppl.

I broke my rule (don't fish on the weekends) and fished Honeycomb Sunday afternoon.
It was like trying to fish from a mechanical bull.
I know why they call em "wakeboats" now. They throw a heck of a wave.

Was fishing one time at one of the oak Mtn lakes. We were on the bank and I was trying to get my small daughter to catch some bream for fun. So our lines are in the water in front of us when these two asp holes in a boat drift around the bank and throw their lures at our feet. I questioned their bloodline and heritage right then. One guy said Did you hear him to the other one? I said come on the bank and you'll hear it a lot better. They left quickly as I was tying on a heavy crankbait to hit him with. I hate people like that, whole lake and he has to fish at my feet.

This happened to my nephew. Fishing from bank, tied into a couple good bass. Two guys in a bass boat fishing the "bent pole" pattern came in and started throwing right at his feet. He started chunking riprap rocks at them.

Had this happen to me on Ray Roberts. I just happened to find a nice brush pile off a railroad trestle bridge. I fishing it one day and some guy comes up and demands that I leave. No weapons were involved, and I didn't pull up anchor either. I did pull out my cell phone and take his picture and got his hull id. Told him the GW would be more than happy to explain Texas law to him.

I'm not surprised at anything that happens on the La side of T-bend. Years ago there were several boats that got robbed while bass fishing. Guys in Alum boat would pull guns and take everything they had leaving them stranded. You can't go without batteries or a gas tank if you had one. The took tackle, depth finders, personal things(cash, wallets, watches, rings) It went on for a year. I don't know if they ever got caught.

Had a guy try to run me off a weed bed on lake Tuscaloosa back a couple months ago he finally got really aggravated and left when he saw I wasn't budging. I always keep a handgun and a shotgun in my boat

I don't carry guns. Guns are bad.

It's not safe for You Mark. Hell you can't carry lures without hooking yourself! If you are an avid fisherman, hooks will find you. I can't count the times I've been hooked by other fishermen or fish.

I put my boat up at the end of May. I get it serviced and get all my reels worked and spooled. I get it back out about mid-Sept. It's just not worth the hassle.
