That's kinda what I thought. When he said he would shoot me, I said "Well then you would go to jail." He said, "No I wouldn't." Then he followed me out to my rig and took pictures. I'm sure he looked me up just like I did him. He is uber-wealthy, and the way things go in this world lately, he might be right for all I know; maybe he wouldn't go to jail. I had just made an essentially harmless mistake and was not going to make it again, and I don't want to die, so I worked to just let it go and not let my revenge fantasies get hold of me. 'Cause you better believe I had some; still do when I type this out.

This is the ugly side of our community. An ongoing character problem of individuals speaking ill will of others behind their backs. I would appreciate if we can rise above things like this and just simply stay on topic, crack a beer open and BS about things other than tearing someone or something down. But hey hide behind your freedom of speech thing all ya want i guess. Some of you folks really need to take up smoking weed.

I know a few "winners" that are idiots.

I have no idea if Mike is a good person or not. His persona grates on me and obviously other folks. He's like that kid in the The Karate Kid screaming about body bags while Daniel gets his ass kicked. Small, shrill, and way too much bravado and hat to be that cowboy.

Must have! Still seemed optimistic but what do I know. I mean, in spite of my persona on PNWFF, I'm not actually some lonesome drifter bum with nobody having a clue where I was, and I wasn't completely out in BFE.

Can’t say I blame you. I’ve been there myself based on a few situations I’ve encountered in my life.

As someone who has lakefront property on a lake that has in the last decade or so been converted by bucket biologists from a trout lake into a bass lake I found the dock casting odd and a bit invasive at first. I have never asked someone to fish elsewhere but I've had guys casting right in when kids were swimming etc. I think etiquette should go both ways. I get is legal. I've also been fishing off the dock and had people essentially float onto where I was casting and begin casting at my feet. I didn't really care as I don't do my serious angling off the dock or even on that lake but I thought it weird. I think stuff like that ruins it for others especially if the property owner doesn't fish or understand the game. Like I say I don't care. I'm on a lake and can fish there anytime I please so I'm happy to concede my water for a bit but some bass guys seem to be looking for conflict. Some guys ask which I always reply that they can absolutely fish wherever they please and generally chat with them.

I wouldn't likely quit fishing that run. Having mental issues isn't excuse enough to harass or threaten people, especially repeatedly. Maybe go talk to the guy and he'll find you less threatening and not feel the need to harass you. Or maybe he would just shoot you, cuz, well, he's fvcked up, which seems to be excuse enough for all kinds of behaviors any more.

I was walking to the river through the woods one time, just me and my fly pole, and I came across a guy walking with his dog. I said hi and he mean mugged me and told me I was on his property. I apologized and said I'd leave. Then he told me he would shoot me. I thought that was pretty mean.

Sometimes, after sizing them up, I respond with, "You better not miss because I shoot back."

That might be fun but it seems unnecessarily escalatory aka risky. I have more love for things other than my "pride" or whatever.
 
I live on a lake…I had one person place an errant lead head jig into the side of my boat chipping the fiberglass, then wind a crapload of line onto the upright of my lift. I chalked it up to living on a lake. I have numerous fishermen fish close to my dock (I would do the same)…and take a great deal of pleasure hooking a fish in front of them on a crystal wooly buggar…

Sometimes there are other factors at play.

I had to basically give up on one of my favorite runs. I would access the water legally, cross the river and then hike the gravel bar, waaaay below high water mark, to the top and start fishing. I did this for a couple seasons before I ever got yelled at, then one day a guy came out of his house from across the river and started going berserk. I knew I was legal so I calmly explained to him how I got there. Not good enough, he called the sheriff. Sheriff came, got my side of the story and said I was legal and to leave me alone. Couple weeks later the exact same scenario, even the same deputy. Once again, guy was told I was okay and to leave me alone.
Gave that spot a rest for the season but the next fall gave it a go again. Before I even started fishing the guy comes running out. he had put up cameras and was going to show the cops! Well, fine by me. Sheriff comes, same guy as last year and he remembered the deal. Offered to write the guy up for harassment. I said no, just please get him to stop. Sheriff leaves and guy starts driving up and down the road pointing at me. Super weird. Eventually he goes home and I finish fishing. As I'm standing at my truck derigging a nice old couple pulls out of the closest driveway. They stop and ask if so and so has been giving me a hard time. I tell them the scoop. They apologize, the guy was their son who lived on the corner of their property. Turns out the guy was a Vietnam vet and had mental issues. That just sucks all the way around and I definitely don't want to trigger the poor guy so I gave up that spot.


But man do I miss that run.
