I have known Rick for at least 7 years now and have learned a ton, I only wish I could fish like he does. I do not think I will ever be as talented as he is doing something we both love. He is a stand up guy. I am honored to consider him a friend. I wish there were more people like him in the world.
I was not there the night it happened, nor do I know both sides of the story . Rick has been fishing that area since he was a kid. Most people with common sense would just move to a different spot rather thank confront someone thats on "his rock". To assume that Rick showed up and took his rock is an assumption. So do we have assigned poles on the ditch, no I dont think so. If I want to fish pole 100 but someone is there, there are plenty of other poles to fish and not cause a scene.
Would it make me angry if I showed up to fish said rock to see someone else fishing, maybe. Would I make a big deal of it...no!
Move on and find another spot. Its not worth loosing a friendship over it, but then again this was not the first incident! It's a sad day when things end this way.
I am not judging the other person that was involved, but you have to wonder, did you think by throwing things at them was going to make them leave? Just think about that....
