They would have to pry my fishing rod from my cold, dead hands! I would be forced to kick the crap out of them because my temper just might flare up!!!

I knew i liked fishing with you for a reason. You big psychotic galoot.
Sucks being small and on the canal at nite and now old too. God I am easy prey for those touch holes. I got to get some pepper spray for the tackle bag.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would approach Bigfish with a fight on their mind.

Professor, I hear you, I am 5'6" 175lbs and I fish alone also. I might have to sharpen the butt end of my rod..

yeah if someone approached Larry, they would have to be pretty high to think they were going ot get anywhere!
so true though, a surfcaster is the last person they should be messing with, like Joe said, they are in for a rude awakening one of these days, I just hope the poor surfcaster can prove self-defense!

I would say picking on surfcasters would be a mistake. Most guys are carrying fillet knives...plus some of us are packing as well.
Like someone said, karma is a b*tch and what goes around comes around.

Be careful and if possible fish within view of other anglers.

Self defense is presumed when it's 5 against 1.

They have to be stupid to mess with anyone who is holding an 8 to 10 foot pole (weapon), not to mention the longnose pliers, small rigging knife visible in sheath, and in my case, sometimes, my K-bar... The rod alone would be an equalizer. And I wouldn't hesitate to use/sacrifice my most expensive rod on scumbags like that. If the first assault with the rod didn't discourage those still unscathed, Uncle Sam showed me exactly how to use the K=bar.... You just have to be willing to commit yourself to the choice you are making. No way would I expect a 15 year old to react this way. But the rod should always be the biggest deterant to an attacker.

Does Bourne have a local HA chapter???

Part of the equation here is the victim being 15, Paul. Lots of these punks are too chicken%$%$%$%$ to take on an adult. Plus, they don't want your smelly knee boots and ratty sweatshirt--they're looking to roll kids of their Nikes and fresh threads.

You don't need pepper spray, either. Crank up a 5 oz jig to about a foot from the tip of your 10' rod, and play "batter up!!!" when they get, oh, say, 11' away from you.
