A dispute over a public fishing hole escalated Monday on Toledo Bend, leaving one angler with a ticket and another angler who allegedly pulled a firearm booked into the Sabine Parish Correctional Center, according to a press release from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.


quote:

Comments on social media about the case indicate the argument involved a submerged brush pile. According to the release, Johnson and his wife were fishing when Bullara pulled up in his boat and demanded they leave the area. After a heated dispute, the release states Johnson pulled a firearm on Bullara.


quote:

The Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office ultimately arrested Johnson for aggravated assault with a firearm, but Johnson told authorities he pulled his handgun in self-defense because he felt threatened by Bullara’s actions, the release states. Bullara was cited for harassment of persons lawfully fishing, according to the release.

Bullara sounds like a dickbag.

Team Johnson all the way.

This bullara guy rolled up in a pontoon with 6 people on board screaming at that Johnson fella and his wife. Told him it was his spot etc. He pulled his boat within a foot or two threatening to whip Johnsons ans his wife's arse. Johnson pulls handgun and sets it in his lap and tells bullera if he hits his boat or gets on baord he shooting his arse.

Pontoon pulls away and continues to holler. Witness on bank said the pontoon guy bullies everyone that fishes there and agrees to be a witness. Johnson calls cops and explains where he is at and what happened.

Wildlife cops show up and takes statements and arrest Johnson for pulling a firearm out. Johnson tells him he was scared for him and his wife as they had 6 people. Arrested anyway.

Talked to a guy who is great friends with the Johnson fella

That's bullshite.

So the Bullera guy put the brush piles out, probably lives on the lake and runs off anyone he catches fishing "his" piles? Sounds like this dude incited, and escalated the whole thing. I'd have let Johnson walk.

I don't understand how he got arrested for aggravated assault. Being the other guy was ticketed with harassment that would mean he was the aggressor and Johnson was just protecting himself. Saying you will shoot somebody who is threatening physical harm to you isn't aggravated assault in my mind.

Either there is more to the story or Johnson is getting out of the charges in court.

I'm no lawyer but I really doubt anything sticks. Probably admitted to certain things in his statement that made it so they had to at least arrest him, by the letter of the law.

Bossier would have battled Bollera to the death if he pulled that stunt

I guess it's like duck blinds in Lake Bouef or Catahoula...build at your own risk and call it yours but there's no stopping anyone from using it.

I think its kinda shitey on both parts. If I wasnt 4 hours away, I'd build my own piles. I would also fish piles I find. Have multiple options. I wouldn't hit the same pile daily that a guy is bringing clients on and if the guy rolled up on me on a pile I knew he built and was civil, I'd likey leave. If he rolled up on me with clients and was a dick, I'd likely be in jail too, being the pistol comes in the boat with me.

All that being said, I actually took a guided trip with this guy and he put us on some fish. Also, his cabin actually burned down a couple months ago. Might be karma or a local that he cussed out.

What do you think is going to happen to you on the water that would justify having a pistol on the boat? Somebody has watched deliverance one too many times

Maybe he's worried about some crazy arse dude rolling up on him and starting a ruckus about fishing his spot.






Or he likes shooting egrets.

I didn't say you did. I'm pretty sure I don't need it to clean clocks either. If I do need it, which is a possibility in this new world we live in, I'll have it.

So this dude is a guide? That is comical that he doesn't have multiple piles to fish. He should lose his license.
