    I wouldn’t say playing by any means. I’m definitely enjoying myself and my stay here at IDO or I wouldn’t keep coming back. I think you guys are great and full of information. I mostly lurk. As far as this particular video? It’s fun. Everyone’s replies? I really enjoy reading them and it’s honestly very entertaining to see how the older generations are. The ages it’s showing from YT analytics are neat. 45-54 is the most popular catagory from traffic received through this sight. It’s this age group that makes assumptions based on behavior about political views which I love. I mean, not that it’s relevant but I was raised hardcore republican and my dads open minded enough to find this halarious but he’s a bit younger. I wonder what it is about the older generations that jumps to say the younger ones are offended by everything yet get triggered when a video like this is shared.

    Not playing anyone. Just enjoying my stay. If at any point you’re not enjoying yourself in this thread then I’m not sure why you’re here. If you’re still here I’m assuming you’re enjoying it and I’ll keep giving you entertainment.

    Especially when followed down the road with the camera on. You’re lucky he didnt knock you on your ass. Right or wrong, you should have left and let the law figure it out.

    So you were carrying too? Great! You should know better then to follow him and continue to argue unless you had a death wish.

    You my friend are lucky…. IT’S JUST A FISH!

    I’m pretty sure this was all staged. I don’t see how that guy would be able to hold back on cold cocking the kid. Even the way the kid was talking seemed rehearsed. The new normal I guess. Pfft

    Actually you missed my age group, I’m a bit older. Triggered?, no, you asked the question, I answered.

    Missed? No it just wasn’t discussed. I stated 45-54 was the most popular.

    I’m probably closer to your age than most of the other people who have replied (I’m 32) and I agree with them that you were in the wrong and should have ended the confrontation much sooner than you did. It started out as a respectful conversation and he mentioned an ordinance and referenced the sign multiple times, but you kept pressing it by simply saying you weren’t doing anything wrong because you were doing C&R and had talked with police. Its like you never disagreed that there was an ordinance or a sign, but you disagreed that it pertained to you. I won’t say that you feel entitled and all that other garbage that get said about people our age (the oh so hated “millenials”), but you were argumentative and badgering to the point he was annoyed and upset. Even I was annoyed by watching you drag it on.

    So what would I have done? I would have had a similar conversation like you did initially and then left after realizing that he really wasn’t willing to compromise, which was way earlier than when you left. You caught a couple small bass. I’m sure it was fun, but certainly not worth it. And you asked what we would have done and you received more or less the same responses, yet you seem to have laughed the opinions off and acting as if they are irrelevant or wrong because of the age of the posters. It isn’t an age thing, its a being logical and respectful person thing. Life’s too short and the outdoors are too beautiful for that junk.

    Quite a few of them have and are pretty upset at how that guy acted. One in particular is absolutely furious.

    Also the main lake has public access. There’s 2 smaller ones that do not because to get to them you have to walk through private property. If you’re planning on coming on out stick to the third lake.

    Brian….can you un-plug this Wahl nutcase? He just doesn’t get it and I think IDO has better standards than to cater to his incessant denial that he’s in the wrong. As I said in my first comment to this he’s giving legitimate anglers a black eye with this discussion, his symantics and that video. I’d like to see the video go away and not allow him to post any others. His agenda is self-serving as he has already alluded to and he’s using IDO as his host. This video stuff of his isn’t IDO quality so why allow any more of it?

    FWIW, I would NEVER call you entitled blank… I don’t do “blanket statements” about an entire generation… if you cannot see where he thought he was “entitled” to fish this lake as I do, then we see it differently. It’s actually him who is calling out an entire generation… not the posters, he is being called out specifically for being a DB.

    On what grounds? No rules were violated and no red necks were harmed in the making of this video. jester

    Agreed. Felt like he legitimately wanted help initially, now think he legitimately needs help but doesn’t want it.

    Tell ya what Marcus, you’ve simply pissed me off in so many ways that I think this merits some different exposure, so….. I’ve copied your little charade here on dvd and plan to put it in the mail, to none-other than your Illinois Attorney General, along with a few questions regarding your so called carry permit. Oh, and this dvd will have all of the conversations right to and including my last post prior to this. Since you’re so cock-sure of yourself you certainly won’t mind someone with legal feet from Illinois weighing in on this, eh? And since you mentioned the St. Louis area in a prior video here, I can afford the postage to the same office of Missouri in case you’re throwing bones here. Again, you’ve crossed your own path so many times in all your garble its just hard to believe anything you’ve said in this video, in your posting and in your previous videos. Anything of relevance in this current video you have handily edited out as stated in print in the video itself.

    In this video I can see “something” at his side but at no time ever can I determine its a handgun. I can’t tell if its a pellet gun or a squirt gun. You video techniques certainly can’t prove a thing. He could have a tool holster there. But what has me mad is the fact that you state that you are carrying, in fact you state quite clearly that you “carry all the time”. Then you say that your carry weapon is back in your vehicle. You can’t seem to make up your mind on whether you are carrying or not really, so believing anything you are spewing is a tough sell. Here’s the hitch though: Here on IDO there are items of etiquette that most all here abide by when it comes to legal access to water and fishing around other people’s property, let alone on it. A great many of these people are also licensed to carry. I have seen 0 instances where any member here has ever made mention of a confrontation with a land owner or dock owner that ended up with the sort of blow-out you filmed while carrying. Never. Not one. Carrying or not people here are smart enough to walk away. The guy in your video did…its YOU who provoked and in doing so could quite literally have put the young lady with you in serious harms way. Ever aspect of this video has you in the wrong and here you are being told so a after asking what “we’d have done”, yet arguing that this is someone else’s problem. You need an education bud. You’ll likely appear a whole lot smarter if you lose the camera too.

    What you have accomplished here is akin to wiping your a$$ with wet toilet paper and now have schnit mess on your hands and don’t know enough to clean it up.

    Haha you’re so silly Tom. None of this is admissible in court nor is the video. I’ll be sure to let you know if anything comes from the investment of your time. applause
    You’ll see in the video it was stated multiple times by both parties that it was a civil issue according to police. But hey, hopefully something comes from it. It’d make for another video to post here.

    Must be nice to be retired.

    If there’s anything you learn (old dogs can’t learn new tricks)
    It should be that you can’t believe everything you read and that YouTube is an entertainment platform.
    This made my day. Thanks man! Enjoy your weekend toast

    I’ve been called a DB on this site by some of the same people calling you one now and I have probably deserved it a time or two in the past but you take the cake here. You certainly have a lot to learn about respect, for people, the law, and natural resources
