No surprise; it would be easy pickens for a thief. Tournament anglers would have thousands of dollars of equipment on the boat such as rods, reels, lures, fish finders, etc. not to mention any cash that they have. Seems like a lucrative target from a thief's perspective and little chance of getting caught in the act.

Anglers need to make a *special* tackle box armed with a grenade. Blow that scum to hell.

I think it's liiegal to fish with dynamite. Could be tossed into the thieve's boat though.

Bass fishermen in kevlar and toting AR's sounds like what it is coming to. This is a sure way for your significant other to nix your fishin trip to south Texas.

Kill a couple of the S.O.B.s and it will stop. It's Time for us to stand up and take care of our border ourselves!! The mexican government aint gonna do a damn thing! Hell it probably is the mex cops doin it. Obviously our politicians aint gonna do a damn thing either. Just sayin politicians makes me want to brush my teeth and rinse repeatedly.

And where are you going to legally acquire grenades, or any other antipersonell explosive devices in this day of anti terrorist freakouts. Sure I could make a 18th century grenado, but it would be illegal as heck and the authorities just don't understand when "just folks" make bombs, no how easy or neccessary it might be. I like my freedom and the priviledge of having black powder about for my cannons and flintlocks. Besides explosive devices make shrapnel and your Texican bass fishers are out there in a fiberglass bass boat most likely. Shrapnel cuts through fiberglass like paper, I know, I used to work in a bomb dump back when I wore a green uniform for the Air Farce. If your Texas bass fishermen try to grenade the Mexican pirates, they have no protection from frags at all.
Where is Homeland security when all this is going down? Isn't cross border piracy kinda in their bailiwick? If no, why not? Isn't that what they get paid for? Or would they prefer confiscating leatherman tools from honest citizens in airports where nobody is gonna shoot at 'em...

"Don't mess with texas" lol and as the great ron white once said u kill someone here we'll kill you back. Same goes if you rob someone. fisherman pack some heat and rob there a@ses back.

Perhaps we should take a page from the Russian Navy's playbook when dealing with pirates. Somehow the pirate boat just "disappeared." Interesting.
I'm sure there are plenty of bass fishermen in Texas with similar arms (AK's and AR's). Will be interesting to see how fast NObama apologizes after such an incident.

amm we need to strt buliding armed bass boats.. lots of ammo. it did just dippapere... didnt it?

sounds like to me, a good excuse to raise the confederate flag and any boat that decides to come withing casting distance should be considered to close. That's where concealed carry comes in from there on. Just remember cops are good guys.
