WHO WAS RIGHT HERE??? Me or the male Karen?!

That’s it for the NJ revenge tour my fellow anglers! Look out for some juicy bass content coming up from my home waters 🎣😎

I own 3800 acres where I keep cattle, we have a lot of streams, creeks and ponds. Sometimes while out I will find someone (most always teenagers) fishing in the streams/creeks and I usually just walk over and say hi and ask if they caught anything. I tell them they are on my property and ask them to please not leave anything but have fun and good luck.

Now if there are 20 people on my property that would be a problem, if a lot of people are showing up every day that would also be a problem but a couple kids or young men out enjoying nature that accidentally came on the property is definitely not a problem and is a great thing that I am glad to see and encourage.

Post the GPS location and everyone should have a fishing tournament at the location

“The boys and Ranger Jim” lol this guy is just throwing out word salad. He is a bully.

[ReverbandRhythm]

I can't believe you guys listened to this guy for as long as you did. I would have arrived at "fuck off" much, MUCH sooner.

[brannonwhite]

“I have the RIGHT to ask you for your ID.” Yeah, you do. And WE have the RIGHT to NOT GIVE IT TO YOU!! You are NOT an authority.

[jeff]

Call the warden immediately anytime you run into a guy like this.

Couple of things from a state peace officer who has spent the last 19 years enforcing game and fish laws: you need to consult onX hunt or BaseMap before striking out to determine private and public property. Second, call the local game warden for the area you plan to fish and ask pertinent questions before striking out. Third, if you know you’re in the right, ignore questions and keep on fishing. Fourth, arm yourselves when going into the wilderness. Never go anywhere without a proper sidearm. Riverbeds are state property up to the median high mark: that is, halfway up the bank from low water mark during a dry year to the point at which the river overflows its bank at flood stage. Obviously, the median boundary changes based on the slope of the riverbank, so as long as you walk up the river in the river or what appears to be an obvious part of the riverbed, even if it’s dry, you’re ok. Lastly, record everything as you did and then report it to the local game warden and file a complaint for harassment of sportsmen.

Guy is demanding ID like he has some kind of authority. 😂

It shocks me how hostile people can get in the middle of nowhere, where no one can hear their cries for help when they mess with the wrong person.

[tannerchristensen]

I had this happen to me a couple yrs ago. I kept the guy talking while my buddy called the warden. Long story short the Warden showed up checked our fishing licenses and gave the guy a fine and explained that he would be arrested if he came back. The DNR does not mess around when it comes to hunter/fisher harassment.

Just so everybody knows, in the USA, any open water source is considered public property. Rivers, and lakes fall under this category. Depending on the state you live in, creeks and ponds may also be considered public as well, and if you don’t want people on your land, you have to pay to divert the river or creek off your land yourself.
Edit: comes with the territory when you buy your land. Do your research before buying land with public property on it

Here in Norway, we have a wilderness law that says you can be where you want in nature as long as you show consideration for others.

I’ve this happen to me and my friends.
The guy argued until the Sheriff showed up.
Apparently he sold his house in a big city, and bought some land around a popular fishing spot.
The Real Estate Agent told him he “owned” half the river.
The Sheriff calmly explained easement rights and we fished away.

[boomerboii]

He had to have been trying to hide his “secret” fishing spot.😂

Private property starts past the high water mark. Public access is up to that mark.

[TORAH-]

i just watched a video covering this. the supreme court ruled that any navigable water way IS open to the public. and no land owner that has any navigable water ways running thru their property cannot lay claim to that water way.

[bubbles]

Buddy was definitely trying to save his “secret spot”

[glenludwig]

I’m 66 years old and I am very impressed with the way you dealt with that goon. Very polite and respectful. You did nothing wrong and he was the disrespectful one.

[kaydell]

How dare those young men respectfully fishing instead of out doing hooliganism
