My brother tried this with a red in Bayou Blanc and ran out of string. Had no choice but to start fighting it again. Boat passing waved and kept going.
We have all had the inconsiderate idiots crash our bite, but I have also had some pass by and wave while the rod is bowed up. while I agree VB has to be the worst, and especially in the fall when the trout move in close.
Got to give props to those that hold to a higher standard and don't potlick. I usually give and thumbs up and holler "good fish" and keep going.
Now, back to the potlicker stories.
