Here we have 2 more fishing fights/disputes:
1. Randall Tharp and Mathew Herren dispute over who had rights to a stretch of water on the final day of a Bassmaster Elite event with 100K up for grabs. (ALSO, in all fairness, I did cut the video but it would’ve shown the two making up and realizing the whole deal was just a big misunderstanding).
2. Dean Rojas and Alton Jones, well, more Dean Rojas trashing Alton Jones on encroachment of his sweet spot on the final day of a Bassmaster elite event with 100K up for grabs.
It seems this past year these incidents have been more prominent in the bass fishing tournament world-or at least getting more publicity (Other incidents include Ish Monroe and Keith Poche, Boyd Duckett and Kevin Langill, Boyd Duckett and Carl Jocumsen). I’m sure this has always been part of competitive bass fishing, although, some of the veteran pros seem to believe that fishing space and encroachment has been much more of an issue in the past 10 years.

Sorry for the quality of video and audio but it’s the best I could come up with right now.

This is why bass fisherman are not thought of very Higley
Professional fisherman are all old crybaby wanna be tough guys change my mind.
The beauty and simplicity of fishing is destroyed by dollars. These morons are drooling for the money…money ruins everything
You both are scaring the fish now shut up!!
Wow I rember KVD getting mad at Mike Iconelli by a bridge ,always wondered how much water do you need, there are other spots to fish. Fishing is supposed to be FUN ,THERE IS PLENTY OF WATER.
You’re either fish in the spot or you’re not. If you’re not there, then you can’t be fishing a spot so it is open for the next guy.
This is NOT fishing….we are a family, friends…if you catch a big one you get bragging rights…but its all done in good humour….if you aint catching you ask your nextdoor neighbour."what you fishing on"….id be fist fighting with this lot…
This shit is hilarious such babies
Money ruins competition.
Why are they acting like you have to claim spots early in the tournament? Is that part of the rules? I thought you could fish anywhere so long as you aren’t sabotaging someone.
Bunch of bass pro whiners. You don’t own a fishing spot. Especially in a tournament you’re there to catch the biggest fish. Not to be courteous to other fisherman, who think they own the place.
“This what you get, he’s in the box, right there” well said, sir! Put up or shut up, bow!!!
If a guy wants to get territorial, let him. Wasn't there 43 more miles of fish in that water? What a prick!
Bunch of crybabies
Tournament fishing was ruined when original bass rules were changed.
Whining little bitches
there's something magical about hillbillies cryin' about fishing spots.
Children children … let's learn to share the lake…
Ol Martin does sound like a cry baby. Then uses the old "money makes people do crazy things, must not be use to it" like he's earned everything that his daddy made for him!
Herren is always like that.
Sponsors names on these boats wont get my business.
Herron always seems to be fighting about something.
There are really living up to the Basshole stereotype.
Looks like a great time…
Only thing I could think of in the beginning is "put the fish in the live well before it dies and stop acting like a Nancy"
Unpopular opinion. This isn't greed making fishing worse. This is competition making the sport exciting! I love the passion and competitive spirit in the first half of this video!!!
Dang. Combat fishing.
I remember this
Bassholes
My opinion……..Regardless of where you start fishing on Day 1 of a Tournament, that doesn’t give you the rights ONLY to that spot for the rest of the tournament. If someone else knows that spot too and they beat you there then move on to your next best spot.
Common sense but a lot of greedy people don’t use common sense….
They use no sense and that’s Nonsense 🤷🏻♂️
Matt reminds me of a prick I work with and the dude fishes in tournaments also. I dread having to work with the ass stain.
Why are all bass fisherman on boats such assholes? You’d think they all have mustangs or something
Hey capt … check out some ocean fishing on long Island n y … with … fishing with motorcycle mike…
Alton Jones is a POS and not his first rodeo at it.
Ditch pickle bassholes.
