I was not sure whether to post this or not, but I have to. I've been using the same barber for ~ 15 years. By chance, I found out he was friends with my dad. We fish the same area (Gauche) and have been trying to get a trip together for years. Finally went this past Monday. First bad sign was at the bait shop where he bought two six packs. Now I do enjoy a cold beer as much as as the next guy, but not so much at 530 on a Monday morning. About 8 beers in, He says "can you keep a secret?" I said sure, whats up. He lifts up the battery box and pulls out a pint of Vodka. I looked into the box and there was another pint. I peeked into the other battery box and saw two more. I found a total of 8 pints! He grabs a slimy 16 oz diet coke and chugs half. He cuts the top off and as God is my witness, grabs a handful of slimy fish ice and puts it in the diet coke/vodka mix. He drank about four of those and all of the beer which he threw the empty bottles in the water. Keep in mind this drunk litterbug also did not stop talking the entire fn day. Now onto the fishing. He's one of those guys that keeps every single fish. He'd catch a six inch bluegill and say "ohhh that's sweet meat. He was dumbfounded that I was throwing some back. We were headed back to a dead end canal at the end of the day and he drove right up on a bass boat with two guys fishing. Was maybe three or four feet away from them when he could have gone around. He yells out "what ya'll catching. They were pissed for which I did not blame them. he then pulls right next to a guy fly fishing , drops anchor and catches a small fish. He's drunk as shite at this point . He's yelling out "these guys cant fricking fish. I'll show em how to fish " as he's pulling up a six inch catfish that he throws in the box.I Could not wait to GTF away from this clown. He wanted to stop for coffee on the way home and I told him no. Sorry for the long story. I did try to leave some stuff out.The drink with fish slime probably would have been enough. I did drive home.

Sounds like a real character. If you don't want him for a fishing buddy then I'll take him.

Well, my thoughts on this subject are skewed. Because I've fished with Frank Moore. But the average guide I've fished with in LA has been a bigger a-hole than your man.

Never Thought about it that way. Good call. I wouldn't say he was an a-hole. More like a heathen. He was at least a happy drunk.But fish slime. Not talking about a little baby drool. It was a fist full running between his knuckles.

He drank glass bottles on a boat? That may be the worst part of the story.

My main fishing partner has to take two coolers, one for beer and one for fish because he doesn't like to mix the two. If we use dead bait he takes 3. I don't drink much usually and certainly never get wasted fishing, but especially on a hot summer weekend evening I'll have a couple of cold beers. I always think it's funny my friend won't throw fish on his beers. You're nasty as frick if the fishings any good.

But I'll admit putting Ice from the fish cooler into a drink is pretty nasty. Only thing worse would be putting Ice from some nasty frozen mackerel bait or something. Heck, may as well have a vodka, diet, with a frozen Boston mackerel as ice!

I think the more appropriate thread title would have been: "Which OBer is this?"

I'll sometimes have a few beers out on the water. Nothing wrong with that. But getting shitfaced and obnoxious, and throwing glass bottles in the water? If he was fishing we me, he might've "accidentally" fell out of my boat.

Sounds like he might have a drinking problem. That would be the last time I'd waste a morning with em.

I dont ever remember drinking more than a beer or two on an inshore or fresh water trip.

Trying to focus on fishing, plus running a boat intoxicated, plus all the other assholes out there, just never siad to myself, "man, today would be great if I were drunk"
