While fishing the tournament I posted about Me and my partner both got shot last night. While fishing before it got dark we were in acove with several boat sitting fishing the bank. All at once something hit me in the back of the leg and between the shoulders. Then in the back of the head. I turned quickly but couldn't see what it was. Then my partner got hit. A pontoon with OHIO license number was idling past and I saw a guy about 16-17 years old raise up an air soft gun and shoot some women on the back of another boat. The dad was driving and 2 teen age boys were firing covertly at boats idling by. I stood up and ask the father how he would like that gun shoved up his rear opening sideways. He turned white as he realized they had gotten busted. I stepped off deck ready to start my big engine and go over to his boat. When I told him my weapon didn't shoot anything nearly as small and soft as his it wasn't funny anymore. He said "we're just having fun" I hate to keep posting reasons to dislike people from OHIO but what can you do? So a grown (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) man thought it was a good thing for his teenage boys to open fire on passing boats???
I yelled that maybe the water patrol need to be notified of their actions and he got gone fast ......

Sad. Those kids will probably end up getting shot over doing that.

I would be furious too. Sad that people behave like that.

Who cares what state! it is the actions of those people. Water patrol SHOULDA got involved. Imagine if one of those stray plastic pellets hit in the wrong spot. Easy to loose your eye sight. I woulda raised cain if I had my little girls on board with me. I woulda got their license number if I was you and reported the violation. They knew it was wrong. Glad just a sting was all you got.

Letting them get away with that was a mistake

I agree with rat pack. I don't have much tolerance for that kinda crap. I don't get the dad's idea of having fun either.Buckminh is right you could lose an eye over something stupid like that. They'll do it to the wrong person sometime and wind up getting shot or get the life beat outta them not that it would be a loss to society.

Nothing funny about that…….. you should have got the law involved. They will probably be doing it again because they just got away with it….

Not funny at all

Should have boarded his boat, took the keys and waited on the law to arrive

No way they would have gotten away with that

Probably an embellished story just to bring attention to himself.

Aggravated Assault, a felony almost everywhere.

I find this story a might hard to believe. If it did happen, it's called assault. It could be felonious assault, depending on the state laws. So all of these people getting shot with airsoft guns, everyone has a cell phone these days, and not one video, not one call to the police? Something don't smell right. I'm calling BS.

Thumbs=up Finisher

Hmph

You should have just tosses a lit stick of the Dynamite you are fishing with over onto his boat and drove off.

Sunday morning entertainment. Lol

Unfortunately I can see something like this happening. In the society we live in today way to many parents want to be buddies or friends of their kids and not parents. They buy their teenage kids anything they want and then act like a kid again themselves. It's a rot on society.

I haven't agreed with or believed many of jbyrds postings but I can see this one happening. He should of gotten the boat registration number or a partial along with a description. As far as not having a cell phone handy, mine's in my cooler when ever I'm in my boat. I don't always have it in reach. Not everyone has their phoned glued to their hand.

An event like this could boil over quickly as I said above in my previous post. It wouldn't be a loss to society either. In my area a call to the local warden or PD would often be useless. I'm in a rural area. Some idiot makes a bonehead move like they did it may be handled vigilante style.

I bet they were Alabama fans.

No reason to make it up But some on here think what you want. I fully intended to make it a closer confrontation but my partner said “ no let it go not worth it “ Thinking back we should have took a pic of them but I store my phone in a compartment while on the lake. Not part of that generation that immediately films everything. I put the beads in a cup holder I’ll check to see if they blew out during out fishing time or not

We used to have bb gun wars as a kid, not with dad's encouragement though. Might carry a bb gun with you next time jbyrd and light those little buckeyes up. lol.
