This still goes on????? CRAZY

[Jet]

That's it!!! Thanks Misfish!

Been over there to Pulaski about 4 times now but always midweek and later season for the bows. Yes, it's busy enough, but not as bad as that and I've seen nearly the same on the Ganny. You can find space if you're willing to walk or driftboat to it.

 

The plunking approach is a kinda messed up though.

 

No doubt, our side gets it just as bad.

 

I remember being warned about the rubes on the US side, but to be honest I find them to be much nice than the idiots we have to deal with. Seems like the snaggers on that side don't really realize what they are doing is wrong. Had a few conversations last year with the fly snaggers, they wanted to know why I was "running such a short lead".

 

I saw the lightbulb go on when I explained that running a 12 foot lead in a 5 foot whole was flossing....

[Stoty]

I love the intro..... and music.... LMAO!!!!

 

Edited to say - that young guy got filled in (in the 2nd video)! LOOOOOOOOL

Apologies for the iPhone spelling/grammar errors...

That video makes me sick, how can two civilized people come to a brawl over fishing. The fat guy who faught back is as much to blame as the guy who stated it. Shame.

Are you serious????

 

If some guy got in my face, and grabbed me like that... I'd have done the same thing.

Then he continued to splash water and egg the other guy on still.... he's lucky he didnt get filled in even more.

[Rod Caster]

I laughed at the first video....you can see the child "play snagging" with a short pole and a piece of line.

[BillM]

Some of you guys need to experience Burt, lol. Bring your hockey equipment!

[Jigger]

The first vid had me laughing. The second on had me in fits! The narrator is key there "And that was a mistake. The other guy looked like he was waiting for it and showed some decent technique..." all the while guys continue to fish. Classic. The music, again, is key.

i agree that it's pathetic how some people can get worked up enough about fishing to make thing's physical, but the big guy whacking big mouth a few times was 100% justified. bigmouth was very lucky he only got cracked 3 times, some of us wouldn't have been so nice

[craigdritchie]

This kind of crap goes on everywhere, not just in New York.

 

So you have this kind of behaviour going on, dead gutted fish all over the riverbanks, garbage everywhere, plenty of guys riverside taking a leak in plain sight ........ and we wonder why the average person looks at ALL fishermen as a bunch of ignorant barbarians.

It's like locals rules on surf waves only this fight was nothing by comparison.

 

btw, the narrator sounded a helluva lot like Bill Mason, same slow intonation and all

[Steve]

Craig, you are 100% correct.

 

i'm often embarrased to tell folks I work with (I'm in mississauga, very close to the credit) that I fish for salmon/trout.

 

they immediately assume I'm one of the idiots "fishing" the local river.

 

i just advise once the fish leave the lake, I fish for bass.

[Snidley]

The little kid emulating daddy's best snaggin' drift in the first video is truly hilarious. Craig is correct, if you hang around Bronte long enough you will see equally outrageous "fishing" (don't need a rod boys, I've got a net.)

I was fishing the Whirlpool once and there were 3 guys there, me and two locals. I was to the far west of the 'pool they were over on the run where the float fishers hang and when I looked up they were pounding each other over crowding a spot. It was comical until you thought about the rocks, the current and, if injured, just how far up it is to get help. I talked to one of them later and he was totally unfazed about the whole thing. The Niagara region is different that's for sure.

[danc]

Wow. One of the best things that I like about fishing is to get away from people. A mile away is too close for me.

[chris.brock]

totally, I'd rather go up north, away from everyone, and even catch nothing, rather than participate in that ugly scene

you're lucky to live where you do DanC, the GTA sucks

[Billy Bob]

You STEELHEAD guys are all nuts.......you're looking for trouble......I only watched the first video and didn't see anything wrong....BTW, I doubt that's from this year....too much water....just had a friend come back from there and he said lots of fish, lots of fishermen but not much water.

[Twocoda]

I dont mind walking into a crowd like that ....for 90 percent of the wanna bees ...i like to put on a show for them...fight a few fish and move on...leaving them wondering what they are doing wrong...

AMEN!

great video, great production. the gentility/brutality split reminds me of a great canadian poem:

 

home-made beer

by al purdy

I was justly annoyed 10 years ago

in Vancouver: making beer in a crock

under the kitchen table when this

next-door youngster playing with my own

kid managed to sit down in it and

emerged with one end malted—

With excessive moderating I yodelled

at him

”Keep your ass out of my beer!”

and the little monster fled—

Whereupon my wife appeared from the bathroom

where she’d been brooding for days

over the injustice of being a woman and

attacked me with a broom—

With commendable savoir faire I broke

the broom across my knee (it hurt too) and

then she grabbed the breadknife and made

for me with fairly obvious intentions—

I tore open my shirt and told her calmly

with bared breast and a minimum of boredom

”Go ahead! Strike! Go ahead!”

Icicles dropped from her fiery eyes as she snarled

”I wouldn’t want to go to jail

for killing a thing like you!”

I could see at once that she loved me

tho it was cleverly concealed—

For the next few weeks I had to distribute

the meals she prepared among neighbouring

dogs because of the rat poison and

addressed her as Missus Borgia—

That was a long time ago and while

at the time I deplored her lack of

self-control I find myself sentimental

about it now for it can never happen again—

 

quite a moment captured there
