Late night stickups of fisherman???

I'm thinking if I'm in waders and in the water and some guy is throwing rocks at me, he is indeed threatening my life. I'm not going to go deeper into the water(for obvious reasons) to get out of range and am certainly not going to get any closer to him for fear his aim may get better.

what would you do? I'm thinking I can cast a bucktail farther than he can throw a rock (shut up vic!).... But then again he was out numbered.. Maybe one 3oz smiling bill to the noggin would even the odds a little more

Couple years ago at a sketchy spot I had a bunch of guys come up on me so I held my flash light in there faces like a cop and said, "Can I assist you gentleman" Loudly. They left quickly with out incident, but if they didn't, i was way out numbered.

A reasonable argument, but once you shoot him it is not going to matter one bit what you thought, it is going to matter what the DA and a jury think, and that is probably going to cost you and your family a real lot of money and angst. Count on it.
