You're still trying to justify casting at a vessel? You are an ignorant asshole. One of these days, someone will screw up and hit a kid or something. I guess you will say they were just trying to scare em', huh?

if we wanted to hit you it woulda happend a long time ago! asswipeI think we may have located one of those BAD APPLES. I fished the pier years ago. With Sean Jones,Jamie Jones, Johnny Register, Bryan McManus (DIP), Chris Forgione and a whole slew of great fishermen, and we NEVER - NEVER threw on boats or surfers or anyone. We were out there to have fun hang out with our friends and have a good time!!!! Seems like you guys now have something to prove, your personal insecurities have forced you into doing things that you know are wrong and stupid, but the gang (cliche) mentality has taking over good judgement. It's really disturbing the way SOME of you guys act. It's like you guy's think that by acting like a bunch of idiots that the angling world is going to see you as some sort of Subject Matter expert on all things "FISHING". No wonder all the Charter Boats still call me today to see if I will come out of retirement and go back to Decking. Take one look at the "Talent pool" they have to choose from, and it all makes sense.

| So for all you guys who think its ok to throw jigs at people/boats etc..let me ask you a hypothetical question. lets just say a boat comes within 100 yards of the end of the T.. the guy drops anchor right there. Are you telling me you are going to throw a jig at him? Ever think maybe his motor quit? My point here is that you guys treat that pier as if it belongs to you.. its the taxpayers. The water surrounding it belongs to ALL of us. Think how many arguments have been on this forum over running up on someone fishing a bottom spot.. NEVER have I heard of projectiles being thrown at each other! Swearing? Yes. The truth is many of you feel invincible standing WAY up there on that pier but the fact is you are not. Besides, can you not determine right from wrong? I have the feeling many of you are young kids.. Whether on a boat or a pier, you are still responsible for your own actions.. If I swamp another boat with my wake regardless of the situation.. I am responsible. You are no different when it comes to throwing hooks and lead. Many of you constantly talk about the pier fisherman being looked down on by boat fisherman.. these types of incidents are the reason for it.. many of you clearly arent mature enough to fish your own boat if you cant control your emotions with a 4 oz lead. Im not saying boaters are perfect.. but many of them who act the way some of you do dont last for long.

| I just wonder if the Florida Castle Law could apply here. Not trying to condone violence but a 4oz. lead jig with a razor attached being slung at probley 80mph would be considered a deadly projectile and the one's on the recieving end (boaters and surfers) could very well feel there lives were threatened therefore being a concealed permit holder, would I be within my rights to say STAND MY GROUND? Just something to think about next time your throwing deadly missiles. BTFW...the way the law reads, its not a jig anymore it is a deadly projectile or missile

Guy went to the pier to weigh a fish. Called and got "permission". It was good enough for "Jerry", why not the rest of you? Granted, I'd weighed it elsewhere, too much trouble to pull in that close to an object bobbing around. But, I get tired of the "I am GOD...I fish on the pier!!" attitude. I got news for you, not that I would put myself in that position, but, you hit me or mine with a jig....I promise, you ain't walking home on your own power. Period. Ya'll spout alot of threats. You got the easy part done....running that mouth. Got anything else???? And, yes, I am addressing JHOUGE and his fearsome friend, Freespool. Ya'll talk alot of shit. Be carefull, they is always someone willing to put up rather than shut up.... dude SHUT UP! you know you aren't going to do anything to jeremy hogue...nobody will let that happen...why don't YOU come out to the pier and talk shit to every pier rat out there?? nobody is trying to call you out...so don't call anybody else out, because remember "there is always someone willing to put up rather than shut up..." everyone on the pier and their little sister has freespools and jhogue's back soooo if all this upsets you soo much then go out to the T and tell everyone the way that you feel! dude youre a bag-o-douche! i think you and the rest of your "pier rat mafia" should join the gang of thugs causing all the drama down at chicken bone beach. i mean since yall are such hard asses maybe you should look for more a challenge than chunkin cobe jigs at boats. ive seen the pier rat mafia and its made up of zit popping kids and a few old men that would most likely break a hip if they threw a punch so simmer down a lil. as stated b4, yall think cause youre up on that pier with 25 of your friends so your invincible. so you can chunk jigs at people on boats knowing there cant possibly be more than 5 or 6 people on the boat. fair numbers for a fight? i dont think so.. but i bet if the guy in the boat was waiting for you in the parking lot when you came down off the pier, youd be runnin like a lil bitch and your jig slinging, shit talkin skills wouldnt be keeping your "bad ass" from gettin beat. youre a fuckin joke

The pier is for the unemployed, government cheese eaters, wanabee gang bangers, and little rubber people who don't shave yet. Pier fisherman are easily identifiable by their 5 dollar Walmart flip flops, 4 days growth of facial hair, a guy harvey shirt they found at goodwill, and the stench of stale Natural Light beer when they walk by. Save there lunch money for a boat? These losers, if by some remote chance they could afford a boat, couldn't afford to put gas in it. p.s. nothing wrong with Natural Light!

I saw the whole thing from start to finish, front row seat. Hell I was the guy who lowered the scales down from the pier.
Let me clarify a few things that might just well piss everyone off.
The pier employee, Jerry, used poor judgment in suggesting that a boat approach the pier in any non-emergency situation.
King Killa, congratulations on your cobia it was a nice fish, why couldn't it wait till you got back to the marina to find out how much your fish weighed? I would have been more concerned about getting that fish on ice than finding out how much it weighed or stopping off at the beach to get a burger and a beer. If you truly have seen cobia fishermen trampling over tourist and children as you claimed then you knew what kind of reception you were likely to receive when you approached the pier, permission or not.
The fishermen who came down from the end of the pier threatened to "bomb" the boat with their jigs, but Jerry told them not to and they complied. Though there were a jigs hitting the water in the vicinity of the boat, there was nobody attempting to commit a felony as people who were nowhere around are suggesting. There were a few forceful casts made in an attempt to snag the scales as it sank into the water. There were no crimes committed by anyone on the pier. That's not to say that there wasn't heated words and cursing going on. I heard one complaining about how "he cut off 'our' fish". Get over it, there is no guarantee that anyone on the pier would have caught that fish if it hadn't been caught by a boat a half mile from the pier. If you really want to be pissed off, just think every cobia caught off a boat is another one that will never be caught off a pier.The boat was not interfering with the fishermen at the end of the pier, except for the fact that they had to stop what they were doing to let everyone know that they were aware of how far a boat should stay away from the pier.
After staying anchored at the beach for a couple of hours, King Killa decided to get underway again but not until he decided to pull around to the west side of the pier kill his engine and drift back toward the pier within casting distance three times before heading back toward the pass. The only thing I could figure was that he was trying to taunt someone into casting a lure at him so he could get the video evidence he claimed he had.
As far as the video is concerned I saw both people in the boat plainly and at no time did I see a camera in either one's hand. That's not to say he did have a super stealth surveillance camera mounted somewhere on that boat. That's a distinct possibility though since the boat had a stealth look about it, with it's invisible registration numbers and all. Personally, I think the video evidence is just a bluff.
That's the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth anything else is BS, opinions, hearsay or piss-n-moaning about someone's ego being deflated

| "Oh my god this is my water"... said the pier fisherman. "Stay away or I'll fling lead at you from the safety of my pier". "Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na! Oh wait a minute! "If I wanted to hit you, I could have!" Have you guys even read kingkillas original post? It was his first cobia and like a kid with a new toy, he wanted it weighed then. It's not like this thing was a dink cobe. Yes, he could have very well went to Out Cast. I'm sure they would have thrown it on the scales for him. Hind sight is 20/20. Ask yourself what you would have done at the moment. Most of you talking all this "smack"...your nuts haven't even dropped yet. So I don't imagine you've actually caught anything worth weighing. Keep getting practice throwing at people and if you live long enough, you might actually get good enough to throw on a good fish. Then maybe you can catch one worthy enough to be weighed. Just remember....fish are a bit smaller than boats. Being the idiots you are and thinking that boats are restricted to the water...not even thinking..."hey...people actually operate the boats"... and what do people have? Legs, truck or some kind of transportation to come to your "safe haven"...aka...Pier. Just to see if you can scrap as good as you throw. I'm not bashing all pier fisherman here...just the arrogant pricks that give the rest a bad name. Just for the record...I actually met kingkilla and saw the fish first hand. He was a stand up, nice guy. (It's always nice to actually meet someone before passing judgment.) As he told the story to us before even posting it here. He said he didn't know it was that big of deal...and it shouldn't have been a big deal. I bet he would have went else where to weigh it knowing what he knows now...that some folks are just programmed to be pricks.

The pier employee, Jerry, used poor judgment in suggesting that a boat approach the pier in any non-emergency situation.
The crux of the matter summed up in one simple statement. Jerry was wrong for telling the guy to bring his boat there. I don't know how he wouldn't know it would cause problems. The boat driver should have known better, also, in spite of what Jerry told him. The boat might not have taken "the pier's fish", but coming close to the pier does interfere with the fishing. Flaunting a trophy ling that was caught just a little ways up the beach wasn't going to make friends, either.

| I believe that the most serious issue here is that a lot of the "pier regulars" have been eating way to much of those King Mackerel. The mercury levels in these fisherman has seriously affected good judgement!!!! Please see a doctor immediately before its too late!!!! "Mercury is a toxic substance. Exposure to mercury may result in severe damage to the nervous and reproductive systems and may ultimately be fatal. Common symptoms of mercury poisoning are poor coordination and altered sensory perception. Pregnant women and children are especially vulnerable to mercury exposure. The most common cause of mercury poisoning in the United States is the consumption of fish contaminated with methylmercury. For this reason, EPA sets a maximum contaminant level for mercury in drinking water and works with the states to issue consumption advisories." I couldn't help but stir the pot some more.  Just messin' with ya!!! Everyone just needs to respect the space and limitations of all people fishing, whether it's from the boat or from the pier. I think everyone on the PFF is now more conscience of the written and unwritten rules of fishing!!!!!

NO ONE has the right to sling lead at someone or someone's boat. Even if they encroach on the pier.

DukeDevil91 (5/8/2008)[hr That still doesnt justify hurling lead jigs at a person and/or vessel. None of your arguements will. Nowhere in my post did I say it was OK to throw lead at a boat. Eyewitness accounts (David_H and others) say that no one casted at the boat. Any half-decent ling fisherman or "pier rat" would have hit the boat if they were trying. I have heard a ton of blustery talk on piers and have endured buzzing by wave runners constantly, but have never once witnessed anyone "throwing lead".

| People who break rules have no right to condemn others. You admit to knowing ahead of time it would piss people off, but you did it anyway. This speaks volumes of your character, and you have the nerve to insult others. Everyone here keeps saying well here is the bottom line. Well here is the bottom line. If you didn't go there all these posts wouldn't even exist. That is the bottom line.

Like I said earlier, no jigs were thrown at the boat. Yes some were thrown around or near the boat in a childish display of displeasure. The boat was in close enough, to where it would have been impossible for a 12 year old tourist from Kansas with a Shakespeare combo he had just bought from WalMart an hour before to miss it if wanted to hit the boat. Not a single jig hit the boat period end of discussion.
Simple lessons should be taken from this incident:
1. If you fish from a pier and it bothers you so much when a boat gets too close, find out what you can do legally to see that the offending boater is punished.
2. If you fish from a boat go around the pier far enough as not to violate the fishing space of the pier. There are several people on the piers that aren't jig slinging asshole vigilantes. Someone on the pier may happen to have a fish of their lifetime that has run out a few hundred yards of line when a boat passes over their line (I've seen it happen).
3. If one is going to fish the same water as the pier out of a boat how smart does that make you to spend that much money on a boat and the fuel it takes to operate it, when you could fish off the pier for $6.50. Unless of course you want to aggravate pier fishermen or you think the area is that good and you are above fishing from a pier than you are contributing to the problem.
4. It is not a life or death matter to know how much a fish weighs. If it is somewhat important to you than put off everything you had planned to do to go weigh the fish, not what is most convenient for you at the expense of others' pursuit of pleasure.

I saw the whole thing from start to finish, front row seat. Hell I was the guy who lowered the scales down from the pier.
Let me clarify a few things that might just well piss everyone off.
The pier employee, Jerry, used poor judgment in suggesting that a boat approach the pier in any non-emergency situation.
King Killa, congratulations on your cobia it was a nice fish, why couldn't it wait till you got back to the marina to find out how much your fish weighed? I would have been more concerned about getting that fish on ice than finding out how much it weighed or stopping off at the beach to get a burger and a beer. If you truly have seen cobia fishermen trampling over tourist and children as you claimed then you knew what kind of reception you were likely to receive when you approached the pier, permission or not.
The fishermen who came down from the end of the pier threatened to "bomb" the boat with their jigs, but Jerry told them not to and they complied. Though there were a jigs hitting the water in the vicinity of the boat, there was nobody attempting to commit a felony as people who were nowhere around are suggesting. There were a few forceful casts made in an attempt to snag the scales as it sank into the water. There were no crimes committed by anyone on the pier. That's not to say that there wasn't heated words and cursing going on. I heard one complaining about how "he cut off 'our' fish". Get over it, there is no guarantee that anyone on the pier would have caught that fish if it hadn't been caught by a boat a half mile from the pier. If you really want to be pissed off, just think every cobia caught off a boat is another one that will never be caught off a pier.The boat was not interfering with the fishermen at the end of the pier, except for the fact that they had to stop what they were doing to let everyone know that they were aware of how far a boat should stay away from the pier.
After staying anchored at the beach for a couple of hours, King Killa decided to get underway again but not until he decided to pull around to the west side of the pier kill his engine and drift back toward the pier within casting distance three times before heading back toward the pass. The only thing I could figure was that he was trying to taunt someone into casting a lure at him so he could get the video evidence he claimed he had.
As far as the video is concerned I saw both people in the boat plainly and at no time did I see a camera in either one's hand. That's not to say he did have a super stealth surveillance camera mounted somewhere on that boat. That's a distinct possibility though since the boat had a stealth look about it, with it's invisible registration numbers and all. Personally, I think the video evidence is just a bluff.
That's the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth anything else is BS, opinions, hearsay or piss-n-moaning about someone's ego being deflatedThis is good enough for me!!!! thanks for clearing it up.....I am a pier fisherman...and love it!!! I will see you monday VS200b..... your mine....are you old enough to drink beer? good beer? i'm not old enough to drink beer but i'm young enough to do something stupid!!!.... drop me a PM on the days you're fishing!

i dont know you but you seem like a pier rat cocksucker.. i can understand u bein a lil upset bout the closeness but chunkin jigs or whatever is a pretty scabby kneed move.. next time someone invades your "zone", just think about what a moron youll look like by casting lures at him. save ur milk money and buy a boat and u can fish the entire gulf coast for cobes. he may not have been in the right for "parkin" where he did but yall dudes on the pier have kept me off of the end of that thing for quite some time. yall are like a lil mini mafia, except for the fact you have no money or class.. have fun buddy..[/quote] HAHAHa i have a fine boat and killed the cobia on it all year but i love the pier which i also killed them on.

[quote]King Killa (5/7/2008)
JHOGUE, If you had read my original post you would know that did not run the beach by the pier to catch Spanish...I was coming in to eat, like I do quite often when winds are favorable, at the Dock. Burger and a beer is all I was after. I had a chest of nice Kings, and a few other fish. We were done for the day. Let it go, man. It's gonna be okay .As for me being an idiot....I'm not the dumbass who committed a FELONY bc he was mad over someone else catching a freat fish. Go away.[/quote It's fine with me because i wasn't throwing at your boat i had caught a ling with the jig on my rod so i wouldn't even chance losing it.....

I know exactly where your coming from. I reached that point almost 20 years ago. It hits us at different points in our lives and its hard to describe to someone who is younger. All we can do is tell younger men to not be a complete dumbass and stick your neck out (or other parts for that matter) every time they think there is fun around the corner or they have some sort of cause they have to campaign. Kind of like taking matters into your own hands when a boat passes too close to the pier your fishing own. Be pissed off, cuss, rant and rave or go further but know before you do anything or nothing for that matter, but know before hand that as a man you will be accountable for what you do. We are all accountable for our actions , even if we don't know the consequences beforehand. It is the wise who thinks out things and has a proper planned reaction to situations before the situation arises.
