river enforcement
I heard a story yesterday I had to share; I young local guy I know, who is a frequent spit hole fisherman, was on the Anchor the last weekend of king season. He had a rough season also, as you all know about the pitiful runs everywhere. Anyway, he's down in the tide zone fishing with the scumbags, in there hole. After stoping fishing four or five time so other fisherman could play and exhaust their snagged kings, he wandered downriver, where he came across another young man who had just successfully landed a spawned out steelhead. The fish layed on the rocks, while the guy yelled for his buddy to "get the camera!" Kyle asked the guy to return the fish to the water and release it. The guy mumbled at him, and proceed to get his pliers out to begin surgery on the poor fish. Kyle got mad--Told the guy in a loud angered voice that he was gonna drown him, then release his fish. The guy being angered and scared turned his fish loose, and left the river. Kyle went back to fishing. Half hour later the guy comes back, with four big buddies, and they wanted to fight! Fortunately Kyle had buddies to, fishing around him that had witnessed the earlyier ordeal. The fight turned out to be a shouting match, and the five gangsters, were outnumbered by the fifty fisherman in that hole. Thank god they moved on instead of coming back again with machine guns! We thought Cambell creek was a tough place to fish! |
