Rob Carlson (vees@epistolary.org)'s status on Tuesday, 29-Aug-2023 05:31:08 JST Rob Carlson This weekend I went camping at a lovely #Maryland state park to do some hiking, #fishing and kayaking and basically just enjoy #nature with my son.
On Sunday morning as I was walking back with my son one of the young lifeguards was rowing a kayak from one side of the lake to the swimming area to use as a rescue craft for the beach area.
A man was standing on the bank next to the swimming area doing some fishing and as the lifeguard came through the guy just exploded on him for paddling through his line and disturbing the fish. The lifeguard ignored him and went on with his job, but as I walked by I felt like I needed to say something.
"Hey man, yelling like that gives anglers like us a bad name."
"He didn't need to come here."
"Sure, no I get it but its everybody's lake and you were shout..."
"Now you listen to me I'm an ANGLER AND A VETERAN AND HE HAD 15 ACRES OF LAKE THAT HE COULD HAVE USED AND NOT DISTURBED THE FISH AND YOU NEED TO MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS."
Dude got a crazy look on his face at that point and my son was right behind so I turned away to de-escalate and he walked away too but in 3 minutes that one dude ruined a good chunk of my otherwise placid Sunday.
Anyway, I posted this so I can put it in writing and get it out of my head for good and I guess the moral of my story is don't be that guy, even if you think nobody is watching.
