or worse yet, with a big fish in his teeth.

So very true!

Personally, I think fishing brings out the best in me. Gives me time to think about all the important things in life. My family, friends, career, health, etc. It helps me relax so I can focus in this stuff...the real life stuff. I guess some folks let the fishing experience become a fantasy world, or a new reality and it takes over. If that reality is disturbed its like the end of the "world", the world they create to escape shortcomings in real life.

Based on what I was part of last night, I can see it certainly brings out the worst in others.

Look we are all guilty of some transgression at some point in time. Years ago RIRockhound and I had guys following us around because we were catching large. We started taking 2 trucks to throw people off.

It happens. I had a former surf partner who I taught the ropes, go behind my back and pull 3 30# fish out of my honey hole and never told me until weeks later. I was fishing in another location hammering 20s and invited him. he said he was busy. yeah, busy catching 30s in my spot. So it was simple, we never fished together again.

Some people forget where they came from....someone showed THEM how and where once upon a time whether they believe that or not!

I didn't see the original thread, but think I get the idea.

I have never been pissed off about getting to a spot and seeing someone I know there. If someone I don't know is there, yeah, I could get pissed

If I bring someone to one of my spots, I better have a good idea about the person's character before doing so. If we get into some fish, would I expect them never to go back??? Not a chance, and they could expect the same from me .

If you want to fish alone all the time, then don't bring anyone with you (my inner Yogi Berra talking).

When money is involved it can truly show the worst in a person. I'm not talking about this particular instance, just many others I've seen in the past.
