There are some extremely rude fishermen in the Toyota series fishing events. We don’t want them back at lake Dardanelle. I was cut off multiple times from spots I was fishing first. I was headed to a grass stretch everybody on the lake fishes because it produces a lot of fish and two younger guys that were fishing towards where I was headed hurried up and got their big bass boat going and ran straight down the entire grass I was going to fish on purpose because I was gonna get there first. Stared and laughed and proceeded to come back once more on the back side of me running full speed about 30 feet away from my kayak. They caught a bunch of big spawning females out of the river and took them miles and miles to the weigh in away from their spawning grounds. I grew up on professional fishing and today’s anglers have now taught me to resent pro fishing.
Yeah same here in Palatka Florida. The people that live here are sick of the crap when they hold these tournaments. I've actually had one of these glitter boats pull up on me and tell me I needed to move, this was one of his pre-fish locations. When I told him to fire up his camera guy and tell me that he went crazy. He came back twice telling me to leave the area. You can bet I sat right there until their weigh in time. The next year we had another one of these glitter boats pull up on a clam bar in the river we were fishing and told us to leave. Nope! If they pulled the plug on all these worm jerking tournaments I'd be fine with it. The time of honorable bass fishing tournaments has passed. These glitter boats running 60 mph in Dunn's Creek is going to get someone killed. Only a matter of time. Maybe something will then be done.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone…. The caliber of person fishing tournaments today (or anything else) is not only stupid beyond words, but don’t give a flying sh!t about anything/anyone else on the water. This was just a matter of time. And, it’s the 2nd or 3rd one this year. You could’ve went decades without seeing sh!t like boat wrecks throughout the 70, 80’s, and even 90’s. *The amount of “I don’t give a f^^k today is beyond measure.* I bet both these guys know exactly to work their FFS bullsh!t though, don’t they….
I agree with all of this- and this type of “fishermen” (I say that lightly) outnumber the ones with some common sense and courtesy 3 to 1. My head has been on a swivel for years. The good news is instead of getting a check, they’ll be writing one for years.
@@pcseiden1 Yup.... I don't like sounding like a garden-variety, internet troll (the world is fed-up with that, as well). But, this sport took a major turn for the worst, what seems like roughly a decade back.....maybe even longer. Even listening to these guys talk to each other on the way to this wreck was painful. There's no class, or shame, in professional-bass fishing anymore. We're so far away from the sport our forefathers created (Hank Parker, Roland Martin, Lindner's, etc...) that, like I said, it's causing people to lose interest in fishing altogether, which is a horribly sad. Someone's kid is growing up watching these guys thinking that bass fishing is all about pressing buttons, and when you talk about bass fishing, it's important to make sure that every other word that comes out of your mouth is "f**k". And, most of us are guilty of that to some degree, myself included...but, these guys act like it's the only word they know. The whole sport is just so ugly now...
@DoingitallHardway you can disagree all you want, but there were NEVER so many accidents in bass fishing until gen Z decided it looked cool and started participating. Under 21 = 150hp max. It'll help significantly.
Just because you are a "professional" bass fisherman doesn't mean that you know a thing about safe watercraft operation. All tournament organizations should require their anglers to take mandatory boat safety courses. The amount of reckless boating I've seen on the Harris Chain during tournaments is unreal.
"Put it in neutral way back there" Yeah bullshit. Per the rules the co-angler is obligated to report rule breaking or unsafe driving to the tournament director. How they thought they would get away with running no wake zone
And zero brains to complete the equation these kids are going to kill themselves or some poor guy out fishing or boating with his family these guys should off the circuit for something like this
See it all the time. These boats aren’t toys. Every angler should have to show a boater’s safety class card. Hate to say it and don’t want it but as usual stupid people end up ruining it for the rest of us. FLW and BASS have to much to loose. You watch new rules will be coming. I watch HS tournament on santee scared me to death not a place to play. To many boats in these tournaments. Greed as usual is going to get someone killed
Jeez thought experienced anglers would have the sense to know your boat will not slow down if you put it neutral whilst on the plane. Besides that a no wake zone means idle speed !! Lucky nobody was injured hopefully they learn from their mistakes.
had one come by me and three other boats fishing in a creek that was only 75 to 100 feet wide all the rest of us went in no wake tournament fisherman just about put our boats on the bank with his speed and I had my anchor out no respect
The problem is, it's generally not "grown men", but teenagers that are given a 250 horsepower surfboard by mommy and daddy. There was hardly ever an accident in bass fishing until Gen Z decided to participate because of how cool it looks.
@@panmanfishing takes lots of experience to be able to operate these boats to at top end. Parents these days are just dishing out $200k for a truck and boat and sending their kids to the lake. Not good.
Just for the record, this is an actual accident with medical emergency, and everyone was just kind of hanging around worrying about Boats. Not a really good way to handle an emergency.
Poor decision making! But they do say, fishing is half the fun, getting there is the other half! Should have never been speeding in a canal to start with all the shallow water hazards.
they werent fishing they both decided to run the no wake zone and the guy in front got scared at the railroad bridge and the guy behind him ran on top of him!
Going to fast and if I had to guess has no business with a boat theres alot that drive cars that are like that and it's got brakes boats don't have brakes 😂 so it's a matter of time before they crash
It doesn’t pay to be Evil Knievel with an EGO. How did that work out for you ? I fish BFL Cowboy division and they run up on me all the time. I wear my life jacket while I’m fishing because the egos are unpredictable!! Be safe out there. ❤️🫶🎣

Common sense should tell a grown man that he can't go racing up a dang mud hole. He should be banned from boating and fishing.

Interesting life choices- rippin lips for a check. They remind me of 1%ers kinda- but on bassboats. 😂
@@pcseiden1 Yup...you got that right.
“Get your f-ing boat off my boat dude” 😂😂😂😂😂
Some people just dont understand how to operate a bass boat and shouldn't be behind the wheel.
@@waynelagarde7956 21 should be the minimum age for boats capable of 50mph or more. This is becoming a trend
@@stopcrying518I disagree

I agree with you..If your going to tell a lie tell a believable lie. He didn't put it in neutral way back there and run aground that high!
Is that in the AB canal?
almost like this is what boating laws and no wakes zones are for 🤔🤔
Boating laws are like any other law…. If you’re a stupid, entitled, punk that doesn’t give a f^^k, then laws are irrelevant.
Speed, money and no brakes.
no brains i believe
And zero brains to complete the equation these kids are going to kill themselves or some poor guy out fishing or boating with his family these guys should off the circuit for something like this
You can't fix stupid...
Bingo 👌 so many with boats now days that have no business with one you can think the plandemic for that

This is why in New York state no matter how old you are or how long you been driving your boat you need to take another boating class
Wish we had more info before and after. Interesting piece of footage
Jeez thought experienced anglers would have the sense to know your boat will not slow down if you put it neutral whilst on the plane. Besides that a no wake zone means idle speed !! Lucky nobody was injured hopefully they learn from their mistakes.
No wake zones for a reason. The one guy should be banned. Period.
You cant park there
had one come by me and three other boats fishing in a creek that was only 75 to 100 feet wide all the rest of us went in no wake tournament fisherman just about put our boats on the bank with his speed and I had my anchor out no respect
Get rid of the tournaments. Grown men fishing for money and all the problems that go with it.
Dude you should keep stupid opinions to urself
Best idea I've heard in a while. There is a tournament on the Harris Chain every week. Needs to stop!!!
The problem is, it's generally not "grown men", but teenagers that are given a 250 horsepower surfboard by mommy and daddy. There was hardly ever an accident in bass fishing until Gen Z decided to participate because of how cool it looks.
I only see one boat, is there one boat underneath the one we see?
Yes
@@ykwit637 You're right, he's a fisherman. Not exactly his forte. Be thankful for the video you did get.
Should be banned from all tournaments
Lmao... can't fish but can go fast syndrome
When you give a 250 horsepower surfboard to a teenager, you need to expect this type of stuff
Yeah if they were teenagers, these guys are grandpa’s figure they be smarter!
@@panmanfishing takes lots of experience to be able to operate these boats to at top end. Parents these days are just dishing out $200k for a truck and boat and sending their kids to the lake. Not good.
That’s what happens when two boats think they are special and gun it through a no wake zone.
Just for the record, this is an actual accident with medical emergency, and everyone was just kind of hanging around worrying about Boats. Not a really good way to handle an emergency.
Totally preventable. They had no business running wide open in there. Anyone killed?
Todays typical glitter rocket pilot...
Nice camera work.
More money (horsepower) than brains
Wondering out loud….did the guy who got hit get money for everything that was damaged? Sometimes those insurance companies will fight everything.
So they got tickets like everyone else would I assume?
The insurance companies will see to that.
Cant fix that..........unreal
You know what they say about common sense?It ain't so common!
And they make them faster&faster
Blame the shooter not the gun
Gotta get to the hot spot fast.
What Happened?? The Pin Come Out!! Well Howd That Happen?? The Pin Come Out!!!
Snakes and alligator. Stay out of the water...
Would have been nice to see the boats that recked getting off each other I still don't know how 2- boats in that small channel did that 😮WOW
yeah, some additional context would have been helpful with this video.
Got damn
Millennial live scoper to busy looking at screens and phone lol.
Not surprised
Things happen that why they are accidents
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Poor decision making! But they do say, fishing is half the fun, getting there is the other half! Should have never been speeding in a canal to start with all the shallow water hazards.
Got ta mighty! Who pulls over in a narrow a$$ canal to upgrade a few ounces? At least stick to the side
they werent fishing they both decided to run the no wake zone and the guy in front got scared at the railroad bridge and the guy behind him ran on top of him!
@@panmanfishing nuts!
@@panmanfishingthank until you’re comment nothing was making any sense?
@@panmanfishingif both ignored the no wake they were made for each other then… it was no accident that they met how they did. Idiots!
Going to fast and if I had to guess has no business with a boat theres alot that drive cars that are like that and it's got brakes boats don't have brakes 😂 so it's a matter of time before they crash
lol when you do stupid sh it
Bunk boats
Would have been a good video if not for your Foul Mouths.
Tragically, I lost all my firearms in a boating accident.
This comment is as lame as the boat drivers navigation skills. It’s a shallow river nerd.
It doesn’t pay to be Evil Knievel with an EGO. How did that work out for you ? I fish BFL Cowboy division and they run up on me all the time. I wear my life jacket while I’m fishing because the egos are unpredictable!! Be safe out there. ❤️🫶🎣
