Here's one for ya....Hit a favorite eel grass spot a little after 8 tonight after taking care of some much needed business.I run into
a guy I've seen there many times.Ask'em if he got anything while I'm wading out......he says nada.
This is a fairly public spot,a lot of pedestrians and dog walkers.I start throwing a yellow Bomber and immediately hook up with a nice fat 26"er.Great way to start the night.
Not to long after that a women is walking her dog along the shore and asks the other guy "catch anything?"He says no but points at me and says I did.Of course I then hook into another one of the same size and while I'm bringing this one up onto shore this women migrates over to me.
While I'm unhooking the fish this women asks me what kind of fish it is and if I'm going to keep it and I say no its undersized.She then comments how refreshing it is that someone follows the law.
As she's commending me she throws a stick in the water and her hundred pound lab swims out to go get the damn stick.
All I could do was look at her slack jawed.Couldn't even come up with anything to say.I was dumbfounded.
You make the call.......Ignorance or rudeness?
