Guy Tries To Kick Me Out For Fishing In My Own Pond?!?!? 

Hello everyone hope your having a great day!!!! I was not trying to have a bad attitude! I see a lot of dislikes on this video. I just wanted to say I have lived here for 22 years and this has been going on since I was a little kid!!! I have had people take my fishing gear from me..... yell at me..... and even get in my face.... and screamed at me.... All I am trying to do is fish!!!! So before you put a dislike on this video you have to understand this happens about 5 times a month! Catch Big Fish! Have A great day!!!!

Whats weird is how people assume fishermen trash the lakes and so on. In my experience, fishermen want the nature to be as nicely kept as possible. As it means better environment for the wildlife including fish. My old man would bring me fishing and camping and always said "we leave it just as clean as when we leave". Thats how it should be.

OMG I’m so glad you made it out alive, the fear in your eyes he was coming for your jugular. (Nice bloke looking out for the wildlife)

Strange you tell us a tale of how mad you got with this guy when we have just seen you be as nice as pie with him.

I don't have an issue with a guy just making sure the community pond isn't being littered in or destroyed. So long as he remains respectful and polite then good on him. This is how we as humans should all be acting with each other over shared or community property

Dude your exaggerating that whole conversation. He wasn't acting aggressive at all 😂😂😂

I like how he turns tuff when he is retelling the story. 😂

I like how this guy says the other guy has no life but if this really created this much drama for him, he clearly doesn’t have much going on. That was the most benign “argument” I have ever seen.

So should be called ""Guy came up politely worried about people leaving trash round the pond BESIDE my house."".👍

It's crazy that people have nothing better to do than mess with a lone guy fishing

Like how you describe the first part of the interaction like you gave him attitude, but actually just had a friendly conversation with him.

The guy was cool and did not try to kick you out.

Ive had something similar happen recently. A buddy and i were fishing one of our favorite spots and someone walked up to us telling us that its private property. Were from the area so we knew dang well it was public access and when we said something he walked away. Whats up with people trying to stir trouble with fisherman for no reason??

Wow, you really stood up to him...in your own head.

Seems like a local resident tired of people littering and doing something about it. I would have thanked him for his vigilance and trying to keep the area clean.

I had very similar in my pond in one of my fields, a guy came over and told me I wasn't allowed to fish it. He even claimed that he had just called the police. I've no idea what people like this get out of being a prick but like you I'm pretty chilled and don't really like confrontation.

Dude seemed fine to me. He's probably pissed about the trash being left and he picked it up himself. Also bro if he's on YOU'RE property then it's different but it seems to be a community pond so truthfully it's not you're pond. Sure the guy seemed agitated at first but once you explained he seemed fine. I'd say he maybe a little nosey at most.

Remember, you never know a stranger's mind. True the guy was mostly respectful, but first impressions set the tone for a whole encounter. Notice at 0:07 the OP said Hello fist, and actually made a genuine inquiry into the man's wellbeing, while the other guy immediately looked away (showing he had no interest in a friendly greeting or the OP's day/wellbeing) and literally started the exchange with "I take it you're not from around here." I'm autistic and borderline with bipolar disorder and social interactions are already very unpleasant/highly unwelcome for me. If a stranger approaches me like this while I'm trying to enjoy a peaceful activity, I would seriously consider going OFF so bad on this guy that he would be scared to approach anyone at any body of water ever again. He needs to be very careful about his "cop" mindset.

It's good to have nice neighbors looking out for the cleanliness of the neighborhood.

You absolutely have to do a bass fishing video where you go to private ponds and wear a shirt saying "I am deaf so please use sign language" and watch them go nuts trying to kick you out while you keep pointing to the shirt. Some will finally get pissed and write down on paper telling you to leave. That's when you pull up the top shirt and show the second shirt saying "Sorry, I cant read either!" I promise it will go viral if you do this prank.

I always have my friends, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson by my side when I go fishing, even on my own property. There are some crazy people out there!

Every time I go fishing there's always someone who shows up to tell me I'm not going to catch anything. It's called fishing, bugger off.

Rich kid version of "tried to kick me out." Coming up next week, "my mexican landscaper picks up pop bottle, tries to grape me."

I fish at an abandoned property, people leave garbage all the time. I don’t live there but I always bring a trash bag to clean it up because eventually you won’t be able to fish there… it’s so annoying when people leave trash behind. I get it Edit: and when they leave trash it’s like they do it on purpose throwing it all around the area. I also clean up as much fishing line I can grab so animals don’t get tangled

Seemed like a perfectly nice guy looking out for everyone that actually lives on the ponds. Maybe he didn't have to say you're not from around her as a statement but seemed like a decent enough guy to me.

It’s always weird to me when people get angry about somebody doubting some thing that you know to be true. Just… let them be wrong if they don’t believe you for some reason. That man’s beliefs about the fish stock in your pond will alter nothing about your life 😅

Wow man. He is trying to make sure stuff is staying nice looking and he never tried to kick you out or nothing.

You handled it right.

"your not from around here" What an inflammatory remark. You were a better sport about that situation than i would have been.

Sounds like the guy was being cool, at least he's keeping an eye out

The problem nowadays is that people don't know what's public or private , and usually they don't even check. They assume that if there isn't a sign, that it's public.....

Actually, I would appreciate it if someone was watching out for my pond. If someone other than you was on your property, good on that guy for confronting him and questioning him. Good neighbour as far as I'm concerned.

I don't see a problem, he probably should have asked if he was from around there, but seemed like a reasonable guy. used to be more neighbors made it a point to stay aware of what was going on in there neighborhood, and I can tell you at least from my experience it was a lot safer for children to play outside because of that too.

That guy keeping his area safe and clean should be applauded rather that criticized, hope he keeps up the good work.

Same thing happens to me man. I literally just ignore them. The more you talk the longer they stay. Let them call the cops, chances are you know all the local police by name. I’ve had police just drive by and wave when they see it’s me lol. Enjoy the pond, you aren’t hurting anyone

I wish my neighbors would watch out for my neighborhood like that, everyone is so surprised when something happens but they don't bother checking on people or strange things happening around here.

This happens to me all the time in the south but not because I fish people tend to give me a hard time based on my appearance

👍👍 you were way nicer to him than I would have been. I would have been so sarcastic, his blood would have been boiling.

Holy shit, that was tense. I’m glad you 2 made it out alive

He seemed like a perfectly nice enough Guy to me just looking out for others and trying to keep the ponds clean (we need more people like that). I think it's good that someone is prepared to walk half a mile to confront you and make sure you weren't throwing litter around. I magine what the pools could be like without people like him?

Just once I would like to see the fisherman point to a house nearby and say "see that house right there? That's my house...I live there." These people who do nothing but harass us while trying to fish need to be dealt with.

When he said that there are " no fish " in the pond you should had let use your fishing pole , 😂😅😂

Sounds like the guy is trying to keep people from messing up the ponds. Sounds like a good guy to have in a community.

That's why I like to fish in places away from the public and weirdos!

When my wife and I were having our house built, we were almost half the age (21/24) of everyone else in the area. The guy next door kept telling me to leave the property and finally called the Sheriff. The Deputy showed up and the neighbor was demanding I be arrested for trespassing. He was relentless and kept saying there's no way "a young kid can own property in this neighbourhood". FTR, the area is a mile from the ocean and all of my neighbours were E7+ in rank, with most of them being O4+ Officers. I stayed silent because I knew I was fine and getting into a row with a MSgt when you're a LCpl isn't helpful. The Deputy came over to me and I showed him my building contract. He smiled and asked what I'd like to happen as we walked back over to my neighbour who was still on my property. demanding I be arrested. I smiled and said I'd like my neighbour trespassed and arrested if he ever stepped foot on my property again. The Deputy pulled out his book and began citing the guy. He was livid and his wife began cracking on him for not simply asking me instead of accusing me. She was very nice and the MSgt turned out to be okay too. I found early on that asking is easier.

Why getting mad at him? As far as I know he is just a concerned neighbourhood. And the way he asks the first question is the best way to know if you do actually live there instead of "Do you live here?" , and random stranger can easily answer with a yes

I Live on a HOA neighborhood, we have a large pond behind the gate are into the property, people drive in from a large are to fish here. Anyway, when I see kids out fishing it just make me happy they do something else than being on social media wasting their life. It was full of Coy Fish at one point, but then they drained and cleaned it up, never saw any of these after. They where huge.

Lmao "i felt my life in danger"

"Yeah, I've lived here most of my life. Who are YOU? Do you live around here?" Dude might be creepy, but if he knows the neighborhood, he's a good resource to have if someone who doesn't belong there is messing around. These are the busy bodies who will report thieves to the police, and make sure trouble keeps moving.

It was designed to be clickbait and it worked

The video of how you actually talked and the end when you explain are two diff tones 😂😂 keep the same energy bruh

Way to make a mountain out of a moll hill. Seriously the interaction between you 2 was pretty friendly and he likely is pretty tired of teens or others coming up and trashing the place. I live in North Idaho and folks come and use camp sites, lakes, ponds etc as personal dump sites with garbage, empy their waste tanks and the like. You're lucky to have someone keeping a watchful eye on the place. Shouldve exchanged numbers to help keep real trespassers from trashing the area. Oh well, video is 4yrs old

Where im from, people wouldn't mind me fishing, if anything, they would see me catching fish, get excited, try to catch some themselves, then get aggravated and ask me how im catching the fish because they want in on the action lol.

Has open conversation with neighbor telling his whole life story on laughs and casts *Records himself exaggerating his feelings on what he would’ve said*

It’s the same for bowhunters in Urban Environments.. keep the cameras running!! It’s awesome to have it all on video & keeps things from progressing with reasonable people.

Well if you got a fish lic. Then is it not ur pond? Its owned by city? I think if its stocked for fishing? Whats up?

The guy is doing you a favor by keeping people that are trashing your pond away.

I heard of a similar incident, but a few days later they noticed a baby gator in the pond. It's believed the nosey guy placed it there.

You’re right. People like that need to sh!+ on others to make themselves feel better

I see a lot of people fish jigs like super fast like that, I have learned the slower you go the better. throw it out there let it fall and bump it 2 feet every 10-15 seconds reel in the slack sec and bump it mid fall sometimes too.

you got Kevined sir, i got Karened before haha

I was waiting for a third guy to say: "Now, calm down Skeeter he ain't hurting nobody."

He's discreetly telling you to keep the pond clean. All you had to do was reassure him that you always clean up after yourself. He wasn't trying to kick you out.

I caught a speckled trout for the first time out with this rod. I like that it's a one piece pole and not two.

I’ve had this happen many times on a part of a river my friend lives on. Only the subdivision can fish this part. He and me were fishing and a guy comes over and Starts throwing a dog toy and his dog goes fetch it where we fishing. Ruining our fishing. Didn’t even talk to my friend who’s been living there for years.. These people have to drive all the way down where we at to mess with us, without even talking to us first.. usually it’s old men with nothing better to do.

Some great tips, earned a Like and definitely a sub 👍😎..... I love that Condor Parang, does it have a model# ?

In England you own it put a fence around it and a notice on it and contact information and liferings incase of someone falling in you also need a fresh water fishing license or for course fishing also different seasons for different species except for private lake ponds and fisheries that have regulations for the different club and society uses

Honestly it seemed reasonable and civil.

Thank you sir for keeping out eye out for my lake 👍

is the man from ny per chance? they have this feeling of entitlement, are like this in ct and ma

wish i had a pond like that to fish in

You always find pond life, round the ponds😂

seems like it is just as much his pond as well. and he is being a little protective of it, but not overly just inquisitive.

Man you should be glad you have folks in your subdivision trying to keep the crap out of the neighborhood!

That was weak man - you are a legend in your own mind.

That's why fisherman have the right to open carry anywhere in almost any state. Most of the people just want these fish to stay in there ponds but truth is it's better to fish the dominant breeds out like bass and bream because they always come naturally by birds and such. If you don't fish them you will wind up withe one or the other and nothing else

I had to retire a couple of years ago (yes, it's BORING), and I told my son if I start acting like one of these old annoying people (i.e., a Karen), driving like an old man, or just generally becoming a pain in the ass to the world, it's time to lock me up in an old folks home somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I turn 60 in 5 days, so hopefully, I have 10 - 15 years of _relative sanity/keeping my shit together_ left in me.

Wasn't weird at all. You want guys like that. And he was totally cool with you.

I’ve always told people “It’s illegal to interfere with a licensed hunter/fisher”as the case may be and 100% of the time they leave me alone. One guy asked me to show him my fishing license once, but I shut him down pretty quick.

I'm so sick of people who can't mind there own bussnines. Telling you, me and bussniness how they can operate using death threats as tactics. Never though I would carry a gun everyday but these people are out of control and off their meds.

Why did you drain your own pond 2 years ago? And how? It appears that maybe the 2 ponds are connected.

just dont' say anything at all to them, just nod and smile. ignore. you shouldn't even say hello. if they persist then call the cops immediately. don't even talk to him. just call the cops and say yeah I'm being harrassed by someone who doesn't want me fishing in my own pond.

I can’t stand nosy people but a friend who’s a contractor that installs security cameras once told me the only thing better than security cameras are those irritating nosy neighbors. Criminals will avoid these places when scouting areas. If they see cameras, criminals will simply cover their faces.

Dude without you explaining everything that I saw in the video, I wouldn't have had any idea what transpired. Thank you for filling me in on what I just watched.

Sounds to me like he's actually looking out for you. Maybe you should befriend him and give him permission to oversee the property when your not around !?!

Looks like a "Real Estate Lake". Very common in some parts of the country, and you do have to live there to be allowed to fish, or even walk around. Most of them have "Lake Use Cards" that you need to have on you. Nobody knows ALL of their neighbors; the guy was very polite.

“Oh no! Someone dared to try and have a conversation with me! Heaven forfend!”

Just wondering if you would have the same response if the guy approached a group of guys fishing in 'your' pond striping it of 'your' fish.

It’s funny being a Native American in Oklahoma I had someone try to kick me off a pond on the Muscogee Creek Nation 😂 and he isn’t even a Creek citizen.

1 minute in and I refer to comments, thank you comment people for saving me watch a most boring video.😊

i been fishing 20 years at the sea dock , and thats mine sea ! lol

I think the guy was just trying to do the right thing. He did say he was tired of picking up trash after strangers. i think you handled him nicely though, not getting upset.

I've been so surprised. I've been watching a lot of fishing videos. Fishing is fun. What I didn't expect was to see so many crazy people even shooting towards people solely because they are fishing. The worst was a couple of guys literally ramming their boat into a couple of guys fishing. I mean RAMMING. Over and over and over. I never did find out what finally happened. I sure hope the antagonist got jail time. Thats right. I think one of the comments said that the guy got to simply promise he'd be a good boy in the future. Wow! If you had seen this you wouldn't be happy with a slap on the wrist.

That was a bass shape-shifting as a human. He was probably protecting his nest.😉

Lol, love your video man. The world’s full of busy body’s that know nothing and talk rubbish… there’s no fish in there🤣 I have people tell me that when I’m out on my tube fishing 🤣🎣

So you must not care if outsiders litter and fish in your pond then? What's the address?

that guy just walks up like that

You sir are infinitely more patient than I I've paid for my license and permits a want to be someone molesting my fishing or hunting there is a high probability of one of us ending up with lumps on em

next time someone rolls up on you pull down your trow and leave a steam log on the bank of the pond. You know.. half in the water other half on shore

we literally watched what happened.....then he tells us what happened but blew it completely out of purportion 😂😂😆😆
