Aww, don't be like that. Let them play little swinging dicks on the water. Eventually they might just get appropriately embarrassed by their own antics and need to take a nap.
John Strand money has nothing to do with it half the time if somebody’s on a spot or fishing a bank you leave the alone or go behind them it just common courtesy
Only talking going on in Canada would be whether or not the other fellas in the other boat needed any beer cause I brought too many and gotta make room in the live well 😆
Personally I cant stand "Pro" anglers. Fighting, speeding, crowding lakes, ruin fishing for regular people who enjoy a relaxing day. Turn everything into competition.
@@MrFreeGman yea except this is mimicked by people in general on the water. Too much anger. Doesn't matter how much money is offered. Tournaments in anything cause people to lose their shit. Wish it would have never came to fishing. That being said, I have won a few tournaments. Not big like these guys, just local ones. It always turns into a bunch of dudes trying to prove who has the bigger dick by trashing anyone they can for not spending as much money as them just to beat them.
This happened to me the other day. I was in an established spot and had been casting for a bout 1hr, then my brother came up right behind me and threatened to use his fillet knife to stab me if I didn't move. I was about to pull out my concealed handgun glock 19 until my mother came in and unplugged my Ps3 because I didn't clean up my room
Unwritten rule of prefishing is stupid. Oh I've casted here before its off limits to you. In fact I've casted almost everywhere in this lake so you might as well go home and not fish the tourney because I've already claimed the good spots and ill cry about it if you fish a few feet away.
They both relied upon those unwritten rules while they were in the lead to win and get where they are. To shit on the rules because you're just shy of a check in one event is low-rent. There's no reason to discount it after the fact.
I've fished for over 50 years now I can tell you there's good and bad in both "camps ". I fished tournaments for 2 years. Never had any problems with " locals" .Fished recreationally and to get fish to eat , and have had no problems with " professionals ". I have had more problems with homeowners along waterways than anyone else. Telling you not to fish there like they own the water or something. So, moral of the story : Bad and good in every group. Just treat others like you would want them to treat you. This works MOST of the time.
Well said you cant control what people say or do (without going to jail). What you can control is how you react. Taking the high road is the best way most times ( I will fish a dock but I dont fish boats) because I think good things happen to good people. Also if you get snagged on a dock go the extra mile to get the line and hook so swimming kids dont get hurt).
I can't remember who once said, "I am not against tournament fishing for what it does to the fish.....but what it does to the fisherman." As a very successful angler I have been hounded for years to tournament fish. I have fished 4 tournaments in my life and found all four to be a miserable experience even though placing 2nd in all 4. I go fishing to relax, take in the beauty, the wildlife and enjoy the friendship of those I take with me. The competitiveness came first.....then the tournaments. The competitive fisherman is a tool of the industry.....but I digress, If they are willing to trade it all for dollars that is their prerogative and I assume they enjoy it.
Well said sir; you're someone who appreciates angling for what makes it beautiful in the first place. There will always be insecure arseholes who only regard it through competitiveness. Some of these American tournament anglers look like a tweaking bag of Skittles with a rod in their hands.
So true but the biggest problem with tourneys are the co.petitors kids petting the slime coat off all these fish. And these men are just kids who never got along with anyone fucking babies. I always have a heavy lure on a rod if you get to close
WOW.. I guess I didn't know the etiquette rules at all. This whole idea of calling a spot for an indefinite amount of time simply because that's where you want to fish, and everyone else is supposed to leave and let you have your way, that seems to be the standard. I always thought it was first come, first serve, and if you wanted to fish near someone you should ask permission first. But I guess the sport has changed.
Two supposed adults run 43 miles one way, bypassing untold number of fish, to fish the same little spot and then argue over who was there first the PREVIOUS day.
I like watching tournaments for these reason...the meltdowns. These are salesmen who compete to win the next trophy they can put on their shelf and acquire more sponsors...Have you heard them pitch a sale? "these lures are the best" and fish holds on to them longer"...
If I'm fishing on a lake, and there is a tourney going on, whether is just a local tourney or a league tourney, and some dude tells me he pre-fished that area, I'll move for him. It's not a big deal. Now, if this same dude starts telling me I NEED to move, or become rude, I'll keep my ass right where I am, or I'll drag motor all over that area...
I don't get why people get so protective over where you started the tournament. Great anglers make adjustments and change their gameplan throughout the tournament.
You absolutely have to do a bass fishing video where you go to private ponds and wear a shirt saying "I am deaf so please use sign language" and watch them go nuts trying to kick you out while you keep pointing to the shirt. Some will finally get pissed and write down on paper telling you to leave. That's when you pull up the top shirt and show the second shirt saying "Sorry, I cant read either!" I promise it will go viral if you do this prank.
“Give the leader room.” What?????????? I’ll never get that. No way. That’s who I am trying to beat. Nothing like nascar. Nobody’s life is in your hands.
I can only afford to fish from the shore , I accidently casted the front end of my pole into the water, left it there while a boat passed, nodded at the boat and never complained once. Just laughed at myself as I reeled in the front half of my pole lol.
What you claim you know is false. It has been proven by multiple third party studies that tournament fishing does not negatively impact bass populations. However the bass population does receive numerous and significant benefits from increased funding to fish conservation commissions and public exposure that supports future sustainability. You should enhance your thinking with research before publicly broadcasting misinformation in hopes of substantiating your false opinion
Hey there my fishing friend, I do understand the basics of tournament fishing,,,,,,BUT on another big tournament at Douglas, weigh in was at the point,,,,dandrige,,,,, it was very hot the fish were deep ,,,after they were weighed and shown off they went out in the lake about 300 feet and put them back in all evening ,the buzzards were having a time on the near by bank,when it was over and most have left,I picked out of the bay all I could clean I got 20,I counted 57 floating and don't know how many were on the bank. So if seen this before and I simply don't like it, I'm not a tree hugger or any kind of protester , iv caught many fair size bass in my life of fishing and I simply unhook it and turn it back no pics,no phone calls,no drama.just me and a bass😁
I can understand why someone would get upset if someone else who hasn’t fished an area the whole tournament suddenly takes ur spot but isn’t that just adapting to what works, swallowing your pride and taking “advice” or using knowledge to your benefit..?
Little embarrassed to be a fisherman when I see these videos. It's not your lake...it's not your river and it's definitely not your spot! There's plenty here for everyone. Spread out and get back to enjoying what you love. Jmo!👍✌️
If you you want a spot for yourself then you should buy it and put privat property signs up. Otherwise it’s first come first serve. Once you leave though, it’s fair game again.
Professional bass fishing is the worst thing next to jet skis to ever happen to our lakes and rivers. I've been fishing on the shoreline and these professional bass fisherman fishing tournaments will literally throw right over you . It's like during tournament time they think they own the damn lake.
Rule #0001: If you think your spot is being encroached within a hundred feet you have the option to move or put on a blind eye and immediately start casting your line to would be intruder(s)/encroacher(s) in an attempt to disboat the vagrant . No crying like little girlies.
+Alex Rudd Fishing Haha, wasn't following that but I'm actually surprised that they posted it all. If they didn't "make up" at the end, I bet they don't post it.
How would the fish and the Sports Fishing man ~ There should be a contest on who could clean up the most trash in those Rivers! That would be worth watching!
Their job is fishing. How can they possibly have a bad day at work? I wonder what their off season training schedule looks like, more beef jerky and beer than last year? 🤓🤘
Why are they acting like you have to claim spots early in the tournament? Is that part of the rules? I thought you could fish anywhere so long as you aren’t sabotaging someone.
All these clowns saying "I didn't see him here yesterday"? WTF does that matter? like they own the spot because they were there the day before.... its called competition!!
Tharp said he was trying to win a hundred grand, I guess ole Matt was trying to win a lottery ticket in his pocket. At the beginning of the video Tharp said "they are eyeing my dock, Im going to jump in front of them." If you're in line at the movies and you think Im eyeing your seat and jump in front of me, you lose your teeth. Randall knows better and his reputation proceeds him. When you get to that level of fishing you fully know and understand the "unwritten rules."
Getting mad at someone for fishing a new place in tournament , is like telling a baseball player to only swing at sliders, when he can't hit a slider... You have to adjust to win, when it's competition idgaf, I'm playing to win, if I'm out fishing casually I'll give you yourspace
They all need to grow up! I’ve had people fish right up where I was and didn’t care. Tournaments is nothing but on water casino. No matter where you fish you are not going to know how big a fish is.
What a desperate way to make a living. All beet red in the face with high blood pressure. Trying to find the "glory hole." Talking like gangsters "you're nothing and you're not a man."
Tharp & Herren worked it out the next day...Rojas & Jones not so much... Theres alot at stake & most on here dont understand. Yes it is public waiter but there is a unwritten code of ethics that abounds in tx fishing. Most tx anglers abide but some dont. The tx guys are letting money quintessentially hurt their careers. Fans for the most part dont know all the backstabbing that happens & its prolly a good thing. Pro fishing has turned into , for the younger guys, who has the deepest pockets.SAD.
The behavior gets its legs at the local tournament club levels and grows as the competition and pressure does. Most of these dudes are Egomaniac douchebags.
You don't see hunters pointing guns at eachother. Fishing tournaments shouldn't be a thing, anyone that has to compare themselves with someone else to prove they're "good fishers" probably aren't all that good.
Every fishing contest should make it a rule that, you have no rights to any area whether you fished it already or not! No one should have the advantage of finding them, and going back the next day! That's not skill it's luck!
It's a tourney. Last time I checked you can anchor right next to someone and cast same spot. Waterways are open source and it's just a bunch of crybabies. Every fish is up for grabs. I got yelled at one time for watching some really large bucks in a soybean field by someone that called them his deer and the dude didn't even own the property haha!!

I have a hard time respecting people who don't take fishing seriously.
I hate those bastards
People should look online to see if the lake is hosting a tournament to avoid this nonsense. All the info is online.
Then catch a fish. Run it 25 miles back to the weigh in…drugged….weigh it and let it go ….where? Not where cupcake caught it
@@MuddyMerci have a hard time with all the dead fish floating after you fools leave my lake!

really over water space that don't belong to none of them.. sharee
You put your fish in the box.... you cut a hole in the box.... and then you open the box...
You don't see hunters pointing guns at eachother. Fishing tournaments shouldn't be a thing, anyone that has to compare themselves with someone else to prove they're "good fishers" probably aren't all that good.
I know how these guys feel
I went red snapper fishing last weekend 20 miles offshore and some guy was on my rock that I had fished the weekend before
He’s in the box hammer 🔨 loves this one
So if u dont fish a spot previously and u pull up another guy can cry foul?
Every fishing contest should make it a rule that, you have no rights to any area whether you fished it already or not!
No one should have the advantage of finding them, and going back the next day!
That's not skill it's luck!
Huh that is called working for a goal bro but I get your point although you really fucked the pooch lol
It's a tourney. Last time I checked you can anchor right next to someone and cast same spot. Waterways are open source and it's just a bunch of crybabies. Every fish is up for grabs. I got yelled at one time for watching some really large bucks in a soybean field by someone that called them his deer and the dude didn't even own the property haha!!
