Respect to me is something that is earned.....regardless of age. Nobody gets that which they do not give and if I ain't getting it I ain't giving it. I don't hand it out just because someone is older than me....they need to show me that they deserve my respect......and I only give it to those who respond in kind. Example......I go fishing with someone I have never been fishing with before, we meet at a spot, maybe their spot, maybe my spot but we meet and we fish......you have a good time, share some expertise or technique...some information, and you see that they respect the spot you just shared....maybe they ask if they could go there another time whether they go with you or bring a friend, but at least they asked and that is respect! If you go fishing with someone and they turn around and show up there later with 10 googans and ruin the spot....no respect and I don't fish with them again. I fished with Slingah and it was instant respect....I fished with Afterhours and it was respect.....you fish together share some info or spots and be respectful enough of the land and ocean not to litter, and care enough about the resource (fish) to treat them right upon release.....and you get my respect......but it is earned and not given.
My .02 cents.
