"I'm not leaving now" such a great response hahaha
No way I would’ve handled that interaction as calmly as you. You’re a better man than many 🙏
As a lake front property owner that's made two trips to the vet to have hooks removed from my Labrador, I don't bother fisherman, but it's undeniable that some are jetks.
@@davidguelette7036 Like fragile, petulent fishermen who get butthurt to the point of bringing politics into a conversation, then start insulting people? Yeah, those guys are dicks.
@southtexasobserver3306 One was a frog lure that the genius was casting 10 ft on shore and hopping into the lake.Then tried to take it away and set the hook in the dogs mouth. The other was when the dog was on the dock and was next to his genitals.
Never apologize when you're not wrong. It just encourages people who are willing to push boundaries.
I would point to my ears and mouth makeing signs that I'm deaf and start talking with my hands only bad thing is hope she don't know sign language 😀
Yep. I'm totally willing to bet she knows she's wrong and is just trying to get over.
Definitely a great example of taking someone's kindness for weakness.
You think so?
I thought she was just stupid and bitchy, or she was attracted to him haha
I had a wanker of a foreman that would always say that ,when he came across us eating our legally mandated morning tea.We used to say no we mistook wanker for a good guy
@No Name that's the kind of person that is bitter about their own life so they try and spread their bitterness unto others. It's all she knows.
Not generally an Ike fan but I love this. “Now I’m not leaving.” Wonderful!
She walked across three property lines to tell you to move away from her property lol.
Whenever I encounter an irrational person like that, I don't acknowledge them at all; pretend they don't exist.
Drives em crazy
@The only sun az As long as people are polite, I don't care if they have dirty underwear over their head. *Impolite* people, mask or not, can kiss my ass.
Or there's plan B:hand them the price of a phone call and tell them to phone someone who cares.
Love it. You tried your best to be nice. “Call the cops I’m not leaving now.” LOVE IT.
Public Water! It's everyones water! As long as you don't destroy property let em fish let em live!
I've done this before, I was throwing my senko off the end of someone's dock and this guy told me it was illegal, like Mike, I said no problem I'll leave, as I'm leaving he yells "and don't come back"...I turn on the ol torqueedo troller full speed and did a 180 and came back to the dock. 🤣🤣🤣
Top notch respect in the beginning, she escalated by being a douche and you put her in her place. This is an all to common experience anymore for fisherman. Much respect to mike 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
My father went through something similar. The home was located on a cove. The homeowner tried to claim he owned from the 2 points inward. My father told him, where the water begins your property ends.
The "bye karen" at the end made it all worth it
The “bye Karen” at the end had me laughing out loud! ❤😂
No, the "call Biden, probably love him" was best. She definitely does and will vote democrat no matter what. My man👍
@@TermlessHGW YES.....lol...LETS GO BRANDON..... joe would end up in the water trying to shake hands with the fish.
@@TermlessHGW I was thinking the same thing about her and her politics. F...Joe Biden.
I don’t know how this ended up in my feed, but the “Bye Karen” made my day. 😂
Call the cops, call DNR, call Biden. You probably love him. Karen!
🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏
Yeah.....the Biden comment was lame, but he did own her petty ass, lol.
I love how he called her Karen at the end... she was such a Karen.
Best thing you can do is completely ignore them and say nothing,this infuriates them even more.
You can call the cops on them for harassing you while fishing. There are laws in some places that specifically apply to such behaviors (hunting and fishing harassment). Sure, those laws are intended to stop activists from getting people to hunt or fish but how do we know she isn't one of them who has a gripe about him taking fish? An investigation can be made and she can be charged with disorderly conduct for her behavior if it doesn't meet the definitions of those laws.
@@magicfish100 all people who are so bored with their shitty little lives that they need to make problems where there are none = “them”
You were so nice to her the first time, I can’t believe she came back complaining! Good for you to stand your ground.
That was all her property so claiming also the water is beyond stupid and probably it is here husbands and like a dog she want to protect it.
@@pegasisilver6249 Originally he was at a *different* dock during the first encounter. He moved to a 2nd dock and she reappears and complains again. How is anyone supposed to know they have two docks?? After the 2nd complaint, yeah, go ahead, call the police.
Respect to the Man who is simply fishing and minding his own business, and not taking no 💩 from the bossy Karen. Don’t ever be treated like a doormat from Karen’s like her or anyone for that matter. Life is too short to think otherwise.
Stay Alpha! 👍
Thank u Mike showing people its not just regular anglers that get messed with but also pro anglers as well
Thank you for talking back to her. These people need to be put in their place and have their same energy reciprocated right back to them.
was still too polite, they really need to be told to shut the fuck up.
the reason they are the way they are is because people don't talk down to them
This is a symptom of a much bigger problem. Have you noticed the amount of people who just cant help, but to jump into someone else's buisness has gotten higher these days? A lot of people seem to not be happy unless they are somehow in control over another person's life. Dont do this, dont own this, dont swim here, dont fish here, dont walk your dog here, etc.
Bottom line is people just need to go back to minding their own buisness. Goes for politics too. Everyone needs to mind their own buisness. I guarantee you it would get better around here
Exactly they are sickening we live in a world of cry babies, with self centered attitudes; they literally feel like they are kings, and queens without any respect for others!!! I believe all of that water could be from her crying about nothing!!! She has a filthy mouth also which has become a norm for these idiots!!!
Its a damn shame that even being nice cant get you anywhere these days. You did the right things in both ends of the situation Mike!
Bible prophecy says in the latter days people would be vicious, implacable, unforgiving and without mercy. That definitely sums of the United States of Amexico today.

I wish I could be as chill as this dude was. I need to work on that.
People like her are why I love my dog.
I used to work for a lobster fisherman who fished near shore. He once told me that people used to call and complain that the lobster buoys were an eyesore. This was back around 2000. Karens are timeless.
Loved the last bit 🤣😂🤣 OK bye Karen 👋
Damn Mike has mellowed in his old age, back when I was following BASS and watching Mike I could not even imagine how he would have reacted back then. Give them hell Mike.
-I don't know why you need to be so close to the docks
-The bass live under the docks
-I know where the bass live!
Lol Karen's are so funny.

It's already been said below, but I just want to add - the "Bye Karen" at the end was AWESOME!!
Best, sweetest vengeance on such Karens is to completely ignore them.
This is when you get the boys and just fish the area all day for 2 days
Respect to this guy for having a rod and reel combo for each type of lure he is using that day💪

Glad you held your ground. She's the type that always gets her way by force or sheer ugliness. It just enables her for people to comply to her demands.
Holy Jumpin! I haven’t followed Ike in years but this made a hero out him again
“Call Biden, you probably love him”. I busted out laughing
Usually, after the first sentence following the Karen’s decision to speak, Saying “don’t fucking bother me” without looking at them, and then acting like they aren’t there, has so far had a 100% success rate in making karen storm off immediately
Wow? What weak Karen's do you bump into? Telling them to fudge off usually sends them on a tirade on why they WON'T fudge off
@@frameofmind229 the purpose here is to break karen nerves, making her furious. Then she call cops and get humiliated herself because police don't give a fuck of that shits. If cops come, it's better, they will be able to certify that they don't give a fuck.. :p
I look them dead in the eyes and say "STOP TALKING TO ME" and then carry on. It works pretty well.
Well done Ike. You should’ve anchored down, posted the GPS coordinates on your social media, and watch the flotilla show up and have a grand old time with it. 😂
An on the water meet and great, and a fish around, in a situation like that would be awesome. Watching her go apoplectic would be gold!
Depends. Sometimes they do own the ground under the water and you can't anchor on it. But I guess you could use the trolling motor anchor function. I'd love to see a bunch of anglers show up there now and drive her crazy
@@crucialryan depends on the state. In Vermont, they don't even own up to the edge of the water. You can imagine how that goes over with these type of folks!
Dude! You are now my absolute favorite professional bass pro! Hilarious! Good for you for posting it! Told her flat out you're not leaving now. Told her to call the police. Funniest that you told her to call Biden. So awesome that you called her Karen. You're a total hero!! LMMFAO! 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
"Listen...the bass live UNDER the docks.." LOL. I cracked up
Geeze Louise! Let's get something straight: one does not own the water! Trespassing on private property? Perhaps. I am sick of beaches being closed off, sick of people claiming ownership of something that is not theirs. Good for you to tell her to go ahead and call the cops. You exhibited great patience. Fish on man!
Sorry but beaches can be private.
And sometimes with a beach is closed. It's because of wildlife laying eggs on the beach.
Just relax, life will get better for you.
@@nnjsingleguy Beaches CANNOT be closed by land owners. Government does that.
You don't even have to be in a boat he could be 2' in the water fishing outwards and tell her to fuck off legally. She don't own the water. 1" or 1 mile of it.
I give this guy props. Even though he’s 110% in the right, he tried to work with her. After she went over the line too many times, he stood his ground.
She asked him to leave and he agrees a then continues throwing his line out right there. How is he in the right? Id of sank his boat or started dropping rocks all over the water scaring the fish away
@@JesserDaddy he moved away from her dock, thats how he worked with her. Did you expect him to stop fishing?
@@charlesbaldo seriously he would have a few holes in his head if I where the fishermen
@@JesserDaddy you also need to be careful, not to try to sink anyones boat, that would be a crime and many people who fish also hunt and have hunting equipment.
@@chases3314 bad idea to shoot at anyone over a fishing dispute. You mean the fisherman should shoot at Karen??
She shoulda been asking you for an autograph 😂
I just keep my headphones on and rock out. When these happen, I just pretend to not see them, or just rock out give them the thumbs up like I’m just having the time of my life and never slow my roll. 😂
Same thing happened to me this past summer. I was fishing waist deep in a pond(a PUBLIC POND). A textbook Karen comes out of her house and says I'm in her water on her side of the water. I ignored her and her 15 minutes of Karen-rant. Karma was on my side that day. She calls the cops on me. So, the cops come and I watch them talk to her, then begin to talk louder and louder at her explaining that she doesn't own the pond, nor does she own a section of the water.
@@codaf_7077 This particular officer was a angler for sure and had a zero tolerance for any type of Karen behavior. From what he told me, this Karen has been pulling that same shit for a couple years.
@@peterhayes4990 If that's true (calling them repeatedly) they need to fine her for fraudulently abusing emergency services (or whatever the legal term would be).
@@sozijlt Oh, there is a lot more to her story then what I wrote. She has gone to court trying to claim a certain part of the water as hers....she has yelled at anglers claiming she owns fish that are in "her water". She is a nightmare
Love how you kept calm the whole time even while you were telling her to call the cops! My man!
@@mikeiaconellifishing "Call Biden, probably love him." That's pretty sad, you lost me as a fan with this bullshit take on politics. If you had just argued your position as a fisherman? I would still be behind you... but you HAD to go and make it political and HAD to inject Biden into the argument. Now, everything you try to argue will be forever stale and insubstantial. I don't even give a shit about Biden, it's just that you had to make it political that turned me off, completely.
@@steev927 , we get it , you lick Biden's boots. How is that inflation going for you.
I need a multi-rod setup like that. Love going fishing. ❤
love it! i would just act like i was deaf and start signing and see how they react! lol most of the time they see you might be deaf and they change their minds about harassing you. lol
Handled it like a true fisherman. Had patience and respected her wishes. She wanted to be petty and just start a fight. There’s no violation whatsoever and cops have better stuff to deal with. Love your videos!
Hey John that’s a really dumb statement! We know who’s living in your head! 😂
@@johncooper7663 spoken like someone who doesn't know what bathroom to use. The correct answer is either on because we all know you squat to piss
Actually there was a violation, at least in most states. It is illegal to interfere or harass a person that is fishing (so long as they aren't violating any law.) It wouldn't be worth bothering a cop or warden about but if Karen called the cops I'd be sure to ask them about the regulation that prohibits interference with fishing.
You handled that really well. A lot better than I would have. Good on you Mike! 🎣🎣
LOL love this. You were very polite in the beginning and backed off the first dock right away. Then, when she claimed to own the next one too and acted like you were getting snagged, you rightfully said ya know what. Screw it. I'm just gonna keep fishing. Classic.
@tony b
All of you liberals bring politics into everything, so shut your man pleaser
She even said "I know" to his "I am allowed to fish here"
"Bye Karen..."
LOL! That's a perfect response.
The sence of entitlement that people have that live on water is hilarious. He's alot more pleasant than I would have been.
yeah theres a larger self entitlement when ppl think they have the right to tresspass
@@brendonrookes1151
There is no trespassing in public water.
Been there. Done that. You people, I swear. Where's you dock .? I'll make sure to camp out there. Thanks.
"I was gonna leave, but you just had to ramp up the kind of pain in the ass you are a tad too much. Enjoy the view of me fishing for the next 6 hours, Karen." Beautiful.
good for you You can't let people like that walk all over you. Being rude while asking a favor of you. You played this perfect
If you drove by my dock with that fishing setup, I’d ask to hop in and fish with you!!! 🤠
Had this happen on Day 1 of a 3 Day Tournament. Made sure all other 150 boats got the word and the waypoint so "Karen" could have visitors ALL weekend long.
Love Ike. Lol😂 especially when he says bye Karen lol
"Call Biden, you probably love him" what a tool 😂
Way to go Mike! You handled that perfectly! Some people are just stupid
I’m glad you didn’t leave! When you said you were leaving I was like wtf, but then you held your ground. Bravo
Did she have a Russian accent?!? Thought she was trying to claim the lake as hers!!!
@@TheCattyKid he was on his way out until she came after him. He's allowed to change his mind based on how things were going. I don't see anything wrong with his actions. It would be like you already on your way out as you said you were leaving, then for someone to be rude to you and even threaten you with calling some authority.

Love it man. Way to stand your ground 👏
these bloody women are so used to telling their children what to do they think they can do it to anyone they want now
Bro, I've got the ultimate reply for you next time this happens.
Them - Blah blah blah , my dock, too close blah blah blah...
You - Oh my gosh, I've been looking everywhere for you! I heard they sold the lake, how much did you pay for it?!
Them - *slightly bewildered* what? Huh?
You - The lake, you bought it, right?
Them - No, what are you talking about?
You - Oh, you don't own the water? Huh... 🤷♂️ *silently goes back to fishing*
When I was growing up if you saw someone fishing you'd ask "catching anything?", or "are they biting?". Nowadays, there's so many people that make me miss my parents and grandparents because they raised me to be considerate and respectful of others. Some people just can't stand seeing someone enjoy life, instead they project their own misery.
At first I thought I was gonna hate this due to the angler's initial apology but thankfully he turned it around !
I’d go back and fish there every day. 😂
yeah and then one day you get shot and then ppl say you died for SPITE.
@Lessko Brandon Incorrect, you died for trying to prove a lame point by going to the same spot for SPITE. ultimate L. but I guess if you are that petty then no one would miss you anyways.Hyuck!
@@UnknownUnknown-bg3ho wrong, don't be silly. Democrats do not own guns. They are afraid of them.
I had an encounter with a Karen who thought she had exclusive rights to an elevator I've been using for 24 years. Some people are so over the top and so full of themselves, it's truly pathetic.
I've been at my job almost 16 years . Iv sat outside in the same spot against the wall .
Ne girl in management about 5 years ago told me I couldn't set out there anymore .she didnt like it ...so after she brought my human resources manager out .I told them I've been sitting there since she was in middle school leave me alone...
5 years later I'm typing this leaning against my old spot in the sunshine 👍
Reminds me of my late grandmother. She never really cared about how close the fishermen were to the dock, she just wanted to argue. After 40 years of doing so with my grandfather, she no longer got the same catharsis from those spats 😅
We have a man-made lake in our subdivision and every year hundreds of ducks come looking for warmer lands. One of the neighbors feed them and some others pitch in to buy their food. One of these ladies was trying to get the cops to make him to stop feeding them and to remove the ducks, because they were invading our property. They just laugh and left; she called Wild Life (whatever) agency and she was told that they were a protected specie. This past spring, about 20-25 ducks decided to move permanently and they are now locals. We never heard from her again .
I love when people that own waterfront property think they own the water too. I like how you were nice at first before saying fuck it and telling her off😂

Ike you’re the man! The one thing I respect about you is that you keep it real and I just love the way you dealt with that issue. This does seem to be a growing trend with people coming down and harassing fisherman around their pier.
I love you Ike ! You handled it like a champ. Reminds me of the guy while you were graphing that grass line.
Reminds me of an expression my nanny told me years ago... if you are walking along and minding your own business and a dog approaches you and starts barking at you, do you get down on all fours and bark back? NO, you just keep doing your thing, don't let it bother you and let the dog bark... that's just what dogs do.
I normally like to acknowledge them in the affirmative, saying "ok", 'alrighty', "yep, sure thing" and stuff like that, but then just keep doing whatever I was doing.
That is the best thing I've seen all year. I love how you finally snap at the end. After trying to be nice they will never learn.
really did try to stay calm! But then she told me to go #$%& myself so I fished it until I caught a catfish! No bass under that dock they probably voted for him too!
He didnt snap at all. He,s a guy that doesn't take shit from people. He just stood up for himself. As we all should. RESPECT !
This is great. As a lake property owner, i had the opposite experience. I was on my raft with kids and a boat started fishing under the raft. I simply and politely asked for space and they freaked out. Even reported me for fisherman’s harassment. They treated me like I was this Karen claiming to own the lake. I love your kind and calm. A good reminder to all anglers that common courtesy goes both ways.
Yes- it’s legal to fish there. Yes. It’s legal even though we were swimming. But it’s also within my purview to ask for courtesy.
People are bizarre.
Should have just jumped in the water with your kids and slapped it with your hands... no fish, no fishermen.
Never had a bad experience on the lakes in my area. I hope I get to fish a chocolate river someday. 😆
What the? It's really OK to cast your line like that at someone's raft while they're swimming? I mean a hook can't do a ton of damage without hitting a really soft spot(maybe an eye?), but still seems weird to me that someone would do it.
