What's the worst potlicking story you got?
Trestles fishing pilings one day and we were on em pretty good had an old black dude trolling leadcore cut in between us and the bridge when we snagged his line just as he was saying"you better not snag my line"
Damn near got in a fight on the water and other boats were closing in on our spot if we got off of it.

Swamp Stallion does it too I'm assuming? I was dicking around day of the Capt meeting for a CCA redfish tourney a couple years back and got on them I had a yat on one side and a guide on the other. Saw both at meeting after a few beers, guide still won't say much to me.

Fishing on Toledo in kayaks and had a 24' cc triton with a t-top cut in between me and the bank in <4' of water when I caught a bass... The guy on the boat later had his kid cast so close to Salmon that his spinnerbait almost hit Salmon's yak. I don't get it.

He also told his kid "Don't worry about him, he'll move. Just keep casting at him."

a-hole.

I once saw drunk guys in two boats throwing crap at each other and bumping boats. It finally escalating into one of the dudes putting a weight and a big treble hook on the end of his line, then casting it at dudes on the other boat and yanking back in an attempt to hook them.

My worst story: Me and my brother found a huge bream bed in CLECO back when the lake was good. We told a family friend because he asked us where he should take his kids for a day of easy fishing. So we didn't think any harm would come of it. The guy then went on to fish the bed everyday for the next 2 weeks. We tried to go back on several occasions, but he was always there. Only saw his kids once.

I was going to share a story, but this one will pretty much beat them all.

My all time favorite was behind GI. I had been fishing offshore every morning leaving wife and daughter with my family. About forth day Mrs is about to come unglued since they haven't been fishing yet. Buddy and I grab the kids and take off behind island. We find the fish on top of a sand bar birds diving, fish boiling there's 6 boats 3 on each side casting toward the middle. This a-hole yat roles up while I'm waving him off and he yells something about me thinking I own the water, cussing in front of kids etc. Birds move further down, he pulls up anchor and chases them and proceeds to beach himself and tide is rolling out. I was the last one, told kids earmuffs, exchanged pleasantries, told him I'd be back to assist when tide turned around too dangerous with children on board. Sun was setting over his back when he looked up sheepishly and wanted to know when that was going to be.

I used to sacalait fish the basin a good bit with a fella who could throw his jig in the exact spot you missed a fish before you could start reeling in your slack after a missed hook set.

Me an a buddy were fishing the GOM out of the Mermentau many years ago, hooked up to an unmanned rig and having a good time catching nice specs. We see this boat coming, straight for the rig, and eventually right on top of us. The guy then proceeds to try to move around to our side, which was working well for us with the tide and all, and asks if we mind moving over so he can hook up?
We both just looked at him, sorta laughed and kept fishing and catching. He then proceeds to try to back in while his older partner tries to tie on to one of the legs. By now, his boat is literally 4' from us, and we are now asking if he just wants to fish with us? He gets pissed, forgets he is in reverse, rams both engines under one support, almost throws out the partner, then finally comes to his senses and surveys the damage. Now it is OUR fault he has scraped the shite out of his engines/stern. He starts a screaming fit, we laugh some more which makes him scream more, and finally, his partner gets the rope off and he leaves. No fisticuffs ensued.
