Opening Season

[10pointer]

Brian

do you think it was on purpose? I wouldnt doubt that some people would have the guts to do that junk. I bet it ruined the whole day for the poor kid and most likely his outlook on trout fishing. If i would have seen that occour and knew they did that one purpose i would have emphatically let them know what they did and how they should feel after doing it to that poor youngster.

Theres been many many times when a fellow trophy hunter has hooked a fish before i get to it at the whistle and i respect them and wont cast until the guy breaks off of lands the fish. I have had people cast around the lunkers ive had hooked and they either werent aware or were just jerks.

Ive seen and been involved in my fair share of unsportsmanlike things happen to me, and it makes ya sick to think that people are just that ignorant. Ive had people cast over my shoulder and the whole nine yards. Its sad to see an event thats supposed to be fun turn into a bad day for some folks.

Ill be down at montauk for the opener but ill be in a spot thats hard to reach and wont have as many people on the side of the stream im on.

I usually use 1# and 2# but for the opener i'll use 4# and hope to horse a big one in as fast as i can at the whistle before the other fellow lunatics mess it all up.

good luck everybody.
