put you rod down, in a safe spot. calmly walk into the trees, and return with a fairly lage branch. preferrably heavier on one end. approach said proffessional angler, all the while staring him in the eye. stop roughly 6-8 feet away, reamianing on the up hill side of him. pause briefly...and politly ask him again. if that doesnt work, throw your stick into his hole, pick up yer rod, and keep movin.
