Good on you. Scotty! I never met a fisherman who fished from boats that
wasn't a prick. They think they own the water. They think they own the fish.
They think they own the sky. One butthole in my area got caught cutting the
pouch open on a pelican (they slowly starve to death) that dived on his bait
and got caught on the hook. He said the bird was stealing *his* fish. He was
stealing the bird's fish. He got a huge fine and JAIL.
