captains fighting
 

dont know if its true but i heard some venice guides three to be exact beat up another guy that was from destin. think the guy from destin is a guide here in louisiana and over in florida. anyone hear the same thing??????

Hmmmmmmmmm, he must of tried to cut them off working birds!!!:D

\yes his name was jason hallmark( the one who got sucker punched) i have fished with him , my good friend was his 1st mate for 10 years . jason is a great captian , i guess the locals could handle that an out of towner was catchin mad fish!!!!

yea heard he was on the fish and they beat him down thats bad business there. what happened to the local boys they got put in cuffs or they still fishing and do u know there names.

dang ya mean ta tell me sum locals beat the heck outta a guy from outta town??? man that screwed up. w ya better watch out if dumas starts fishin the lake. ding ding ding tko

dont know about the other dudes i was told thier names but i forgot. i think jason is back in fla now or on the way driving the big boat back.

Oh man, that sucks. My uncle is a guide in venice. I'll try to find names

hope they get what they deserve.

Nothing at all against Venice, But it's in it's own little world down there. They kinda set there own rules. If you have a problem w/ a local right or wrong it's usually gonna be your fault.

Same thing in GI. and probably anywhere else along the LA coast.

very true. when i fish venice ( 2 days a week at least) in the summer i try to keep to myself and not mess w/ anyone. grand isle is the same way

I found out the hard way & after watching it happen to others. I knew better but persisted on standing my ground.

Bad blood
 

If anyone knows FOR SURE! the names of all involved please post or PM me .

Just one more reason I DO NOT launch out of Venice........At least in G.I., as long as you don't walk in the wrong bar, or hit on the wrong woman your ok...........

It's not bad there, ton's of good people, I just had a run in with someone being an azz that has brings lots of money to there area so which side to do you expect them to take? I stood my ground & never a problem afterwards. That's anywhere. Some really good people there & some dam good fishing.

Ill make the run from G.I......if its to rough to do so, I shouldn't be out there anyway......

thats sad, a lot of people go to venice to fish, I'm one of them, if I get a party together and spend $1600 to catch big fish, I'm going with the best it doesn't matter if he is a local or not.

Thats the kind of stuff that gives the sport a bad name. Would like to hear the entire story, both sides.

Louisiana Law...



The cases for which a man may defend himself are of two kinds; first, when a felony is attempted, and secondly, when no felony is attempted or apprehended. 1st. A man may defend himself and even commit a homicide for the prevention of any forcible and atrocious crime, which if completed would amount to a felony; and of course under the like circumstances, mayhem, wounding and battery would be excusable at common law. A man may repel force by force in defence of his person, property or habitation, against any one who manifests, intends, attempts, or endeavors, by violence or surprise, to commit a forcible felony, such as murder, rape, robbery, arson, burglary and the like. In these cases he is not required to retreat, but he may resist and even pursue his adversary, until he has secured himself from all danger.
2d. A man may defend himself when no felony has been threatened or attempted: 1. When the assailant attempts to beat another and there is no mutual combat, such as where one meets another and attempts to commit or does commit an assault and battery on him, the person attacked may defend himself, and; 2. An attempt to strike another, when sufficiently near so that that there is danger, the person assailed may strike first, and is not required to wait until he has been struck.



The party making the attack may be resisted, and if several persons join in such attack they may all be resisted, and one may be killed although he may not himself have given the immediate cause for such killing, if by his presence and his acts he has aided the assailant.

Louisiana has very good self defense laws, the 3 locals are lucky one of them did not get a dirt nap.
