You'll only get my cold stare if you let off the throttle and create a massive wake.
If you fish the middle of a narrow channel, you need to live with wakes.

Please do slow down if their are wall to wall boats and little room. Had a friend get run into on a corner up on long branch last year.

This X 1000. Maybe some do not realize how big the bayous are there.

This is an age old battle that nobody will win. It's a fact that a boat on step at high speed will make less waves than a boat that slows down and then leaves the throttle at 2000 or more RPMs. But with that said also a boat that is brought to dead idle, will hardly make a ripple in the water. The idea is not to slow down but to idle by, that gives you the time to say hello, how are you doing, and good luck. You get to meet people that way and show unselfish respect to them. I never "slow down" for a boat that's fishing, I "idle" pass him and bring my boat off step far enough from him so as my wake wont rock his boat or mess up his fishing spot. It's just a common courtesy I show to my fellow fishermen and something I would like to expect for them.

Another pet peeve, when coming to a intersection in a canal to not slow down going around a blind corner. Last week Linda and I were heading down a main canal with a bunch of short side canals. When I got to one such side canal which I know is very popular with fishermen, I got off step just in time to see a bass boat on step come flying around the corner and pointed directly at me around 200 feet away. Now 200 feet may sound like a lot, but it doesn't take but seconds to cover that distance. Luckily i had slowed because of what followed next. He sees me and tries to slow down in time then while coming off step he turns left instead of passing on the right. I by instinct had turned to pass him on the right. I threw my boat in reverse and had him stop nose to nose about 30 foot from my boat. He looks at me like I had done something wrong and finally turned right to pass by me and got on step without ever looking directly at me. A true nightmare from a true butt hole.

I personally enjoy videos, so don't let any small issue discourage you from continuing. However, I would refrain from posting the same video if you had yo-yos hanging off both sides with fish under 11" and pulling a wakeboard.
