Toronto_Angler Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 That's horrible. I'd like to think the fishing community is tight knit and respectful of each other. The bad apples spoil it. My condolences go out the deceased mans family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mason05 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) I can't comprehend how someone could ignore a dying individual and steal his material possessions at the same time. Some people are just sick. I too hope they read him the riot act and throw the book at him. He deserves to be shot and wizzed on.....

smokinall4s Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Some people can be so stupid. I would like to see them tie him to the heaviest fishing line out there and go fishing for great whites. But I think that shark don't even eat scum.

jediangler Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Personally, I'd much rather kick the bucket while fishing, than driving there on the 401. At least he was doing what we all love and not taking out the trash or raking leaves. Oh yeah, if I go out while fishing, first come first served as far as my gear is concerned.

Deano Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 it doesn't seem to surprise me, almost every time we here of something awful, the guy/girl has had numerous convictions. Why hasn't a judge done something sooner to prevent these people from re-offending. Then again, it's job security for judges and lawyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Here's the news story from CTV news. Fishing gear stolen while man lay dying: police toronto.ctv.ca A 24-year-old man has been arrested after the fishing gear of an unconscious elderly man was stolen at an Oakville harbour. Police say the 68-year-old man was fishing at around 5 a.m. at the Bronte Harbour, near Lakeshore Boulevard West and Bronte Road, when he collapsed. When another fisherman in the area began CPR, the senior's line was reeled in and his rod was stolen. An ambulance responded to the scene and transported the man to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. Witnesses at the harbour told police about the theft and the 24-year-old fisherman was arrested shortly after. Kitchener resident Jamie Harland Gross was charged with theft and two counts of breach of probation. Gross made his first court appearance on Friday. http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTV...hub=TorontoHome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLofchik Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Unbelievable! Was anybody on the board there? I stopped by there after work around 4am Thurs night/Fri morn and there was an older guy fishing by the lighthouse, was that him? There's been some real chuckleheads down there this year. Drunk kids trying to make off with the life rings, some guy tried walking off with my bike jacket, but stealing a dying guys rod........that's just screwed up.

ecxstriper Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I can't believe he calls himself a human let alone a fisherman. What can one say about someone so low and the addtional pain he has cuased to the family of the deceased . Figures he was already on probation.
