What's the dumbest thing I ever saw a fisherman do?
This guy I know took his girlfriend to the Cape for a week some years back and while there asked her if she'd like to try surfcasting- - -she'd never been before. So he took her to West Dennis Beach where the blues were chasing baitfish up an down the beach. He gives her his best rod and reel combo to use. It was elbow to elbow and she'd never used a rod that big before, but he wanted her to be right in the thick of it (he was braindead in love). Well her first cast went parallel to the beach about 50 yards to the right crossing about 7 other guys' lines and pissing them off. Her next cast went further to the left over equally as many more lines, more pissed off fishermen. This guy gets pissed and yells at her and she throws his rod in the wet sand and steps on the reel pushing it into the sand and walks away while everyone on the beach stared him down for being such a putz. Well she ended up marrying me, but needless to say we don't fish in crowds anymore.
