[@drumking388]

I am a crappie fisherman and I usually call out to a boat that is bass fishing up the bank toward me and invite them to fish on through as I move a short way out. Most will thank me and go around me without fishing the spot. Some do fish the spot and are most grateful and thank me. Either way, I have a great feeling because I did not let selfishness rule my spirit.

I have fished a lot of years and I'm just learning that if a pro or a local tournament fisherman has a spot on the lake it's theirs for eternity and no one else can fish it if the pro or tournament fisherman is on the lake and wants to fish there. Baloney it's first come first fish. I will not cut you and you should not cut me. Pro do not have special situation but if they ask I might move out of kindness, but understand just because you are fishing for money doesn't make the spot yours.

[@anthonycecil7070]

In the mid 80’s, I had a guide with clients, brazenly pull up on me on Lake Fork telling me I was in his spot. It was about to get ugly when he finally decided to go elsewhere. Public water is “first come, first serve”. The old unwritten rule regarding distance to another boat used to be, never get so close that casts can overlap. Courtesy is gone today. I’ve actually had boats go between me and the bank I’m fishing.

Randy I don't think it was determined that weekend anglers generally think they simply "shouldn't move for Tournament anglers". I've seen more people say consistently just be considerate, ask, and communicate. Not just roll in blasting hot on a guys spot he's fishing. Nobody on the lake is high and mighty over another. Period. But it seems that's the aspect long forgotten. People generally just really need to check themselves and their manners. You want to see a guy who conducts themselves properly, look no further than Cooper Galant. There's an angler that has his head on right, always respectful and courteous. There's many more too!

Wheeler is a Boyd Duckett puppet..straight up…and to your point on local anglers fishing waters when there is a tournament going on…local anglers aka weekend warriors are just as entitled to fish any water as pros are…the pros attitude and how he pulls up on a spot determines if I’m going to leave that spot and let them fish it. If they pull up on a spot I’m fishing and start cussing and getting pissed because a weekend warrior is fishing their so called spot, then forgot it..I ain’t moving..now if they pull up with some common courtesy and go about the deal politely then I will gladly move and give them the spot…first impressions go along ways…I don’t care if that pro is fishing for 80k, 100k, or 20k…

👍

[@ronnieblack7374]

I don't care who you are. If I'm in a spot, I don't have to move unless I want to. Pro or not.

[@americanagothic7851]

I’m not telling anyone what to do. If I know a tourney is going on then I can absolutely go somewhere else. If I’m already fishing, I’m not cutting anyone off and I don’t expect it to happen to me no matter what. I’m not going to hog a spot if I’m not making anything happen either. Whoever was there first gets the spot. It’s expected that if another wants to fish it, they ask and talk it over. Does this always happen? No. I’ve seen plenty of fires up fishermen not want to give up a spot when they don’t have it at the moment. People have just got to remember to keep their cool and just be respectful. A few fish really isn’t worth burning bridges. Maybe a tourney win is, but thats all in the eye of the beholder. Not for me.

110% spot on Randy!!!!! That was a major prick move on Jacob's part - period.

[@TeamMaroonAdventures]

This is going way back to the early 90s. I didn’t really follow the tournaments, so I had no idea that there was one going on at the lake that I was headed to. Upon arrival, I realize that. I was a local so I headed to this long grass flat that I have always fished. And there was a guy on it. Like you said Randy, I got in behind him and started fishing. Fishing where he had already been. And I flipped a jig and caught probably a 3 to 3 1/2 pound fish. And this guy was upset with me and asked me to leave. And I did just out of respect. If I’m fishing on a lake and there’s a tournament going on, I will go somewhere else. Just out of respect to the guys, there’s a lot of money on the line and I’m just there to spend the day. That’s just how I look at it, not everyone does.

[@Dolphins-are-Stinkyfish]

Randy, come on, man. Wheeler was a good 120-180 yards away when he pulled in. Also, you either purposefully left out details or just don't know what happened. JW found that spot in practice, and on day one was BEHIND Becker on that stretch. Becker caught ZERO fish and moved out. JW pulls in and catches 12-15 scorable fish. Becker knew where Wheeler was when he was getting updated on the scoretracker. He saw him catch those fish. When you said he pulled up right on Becker, I laughed. How do you defend Zaldain and lay 100% blame on JW? I guess you approve of Becker catching the same bed fish over and over at Cayuga last year, which pulled him into the top 10 and ultimately beating JW out of AOY by the skin of his teeth. I guess you would be okay losing AOY in that fashion.

Pros should understand that anybody can fish by you at anytime on any lake. Nobody owns a fishing spot on a lake.

[@mikeburnette5195]

Randy - I have a different POV on this one. I ride in the boats with the MLF BPT guys. First point is the most MLF anglers out each day is 40 so on these 50,000+ acre lakes you rarely see another boat. In the 5% of time you see one - the pros are very considerate. Jacob is highly respected by his peers on this and any of the ethical areas. As the number 1 pro in the world for the last 5+ years, Jacob does get more road noise. But if you talk to any of the MLF pros - nothing but respect.

[@arngreencare8955]

I'm sorry Randy, but if I'm fishing a spot and someone else, pro angler or not comes along, they're not running me off that spot. No one owns that spot. Now if someone politely pulls up next to me, they're more than welcome to join in. I had a little honey hole on a local river, and someone came up and asked if they were biting, and I pointed to a spot and said throw pink spinner right there with a gold blade, and if you don't have one, I'll give you one. He had a yellow/black with a gold blade and it worked. I had my daughter and wife with me, and I didn't want to exhaust the hole, so I actually quit fishing and let the newcomer and my daughter catch fish.
