I still feel sour about what transpired that day. For anyone who doesn't think what that guy did was stealing, if I had caught just 5 small keepers that day I would have won between $10,000-$20,000. I dont' know who the guy was; and don't particularly care. People who do that kind of thing don't get anywhere in the sport. Dusty and I fished 4 days for about 10-12 hours a day before we found that spot. This wasn't a laydown, or tapering point, it was an offshore area that you have to know what to look for to find. He didn't know it was there to begin with; he was just pounding the bank and saw me 50 yards out off shore catching fish. I fished in that pocket for 5 hours before I saw another boat. I can only hope that he won't understand why the fish were there and won't learn anything from it. It may be legal, but it's not the right thing to do. It takes more than fishing to do well in this sport, and people like that don't have the personality to make it.
