I proceded to get upset and mouthing to my dad about how rude this was when the parking lot was full of people. Finally its my turn to put my boat in and my motor would only turn over as if the kill switch had been pulled. Been working fine for past several weeks. Pulled boat out of water ended up going to local mechanic and it started right up. Some little freaky thing happened and couldn't be reproduced. Needless to say I ended up loosing about 3 hrs. of fishing and my day was pretty well down the toilet. Guess from now on I just need to smile and keep my BIG mouth shut.

F-n-f,
As a Hoosier, I can tell you that we are not a breeding ground for disrepectful sportmen's and this is not the norm in our state... idiots come from ALL states, and I can tell you countless stories of Kentucky and Tennessee fisherman being disrespectful, as I fish Kentucky Lake every year. I know your PO'd and you have every right, and I would be lieing if I didn't do or say the same things about out of staters on Indiana waters, but I have also met some great "out of state" folks that I would welcome in my boat anyday of the week, and have come to learn that "stupid" is everywhere, so to sterotype a given state wouldn't be an accurate assumption. Sorry you had a bad encounter with an Indiana idiot, and I apologize on his behalf, but I would reassess your thought process before making the same mistake again.
