Weird day

Had a couple of hours to fish sunday afternoon. Wind was high, but you go when you can go. Immediately marked a string of brushpiles 30 foot long with markers on each end. dropped a minnow in and within 10 seconds caught one weighing a little over a pound. Looked up and some guy in a boat had his trolling motor hung in buoy marker, and if that wasn't enough he had been using a couple of old window weight on a rope as a wind sock and he was hung in the middle of the brush pile. I didn't say anything, for to say something was going to be saying too much. He ended cut cutting the buoy string and puling up a big piece of the brush pile, and never said I am sorry, kiss my rear end or anything. Buckled everything down and started to the ramp, two differnent boats had motors down, and one of them with small children washed up on the bank. We got them off the bank and pulled boat boats 2 miles to the ramp. Difficult day to keep from reverting into a foul mouthed, violent redneck, but I made it.

It happens but you did the Christian thing which is most important in big scheme of things.

You did the right thing. The guy busting up the brush piles may have been a total newbie. The others were boaters needing help, something we should all be willing to do if we can. Ya done a good thing.

Can get yourself in one heck of a predicament in a boat in a real hurry in adverse conditions. Especially if you are new and never been shown the ropes.

Good job. You did good and kept your cool and did the right thing. :highfive

welcome to it is that time of year , so many folks with so little manners out on the water in water crafts with zero interests in anyone else out there .
sorry it went that way , but to be sure it is likely just the start of the season of the you know what's with less than good boating skills and manners .

Watched a few videos on boat and jet ski accidents. Certainly make you keep your head o a swivel looking out for the other guy. Scary stuff

You accomplished what so many stive to do. You were able to provide help in a time of need that hopefully will affect the lives and attitudes of others in the future. A lesson was given to someone who either knew no better or his arrogance was tempered by his folly. You got to feel better about yourself in a positive way. So, all in all a good and blessed day. Plus, you caught the elusive prey we all endeavor to acquire! :cheers2

Good on ya'

Well done! I have a different take after reading the responses on your actions. But first I have to say that my inclination would be to speak my mind as I’m kind of a gut reaction type person. You did a stellar job of not taking a bite of that apple. But it’s clear to me that you were listening. In unusual times and situations I firmly believe that we’re spoken to, and it’s up to us to listen or not. Your story makes it clear that you were listening and took care of the business at hand in a proper manner. The young uns in the rescued boat will remember the guy that helped them that day. You deserve a cold beverage of choice.
