The fisherman's companion replies:"I was told not to talk to strangers who don't introduce themselves.""We pay for the lake," he adds."It's a private lake so if you live in the neighborhood."In one video posted in June, he filmed after someone apparently called the police to report him for fishing
"I got one pole in the water. One pole in the water, chilling, not acting crazy, no loud music and the police show up," he says in the video.He added:"They see a young Black dude doing his thing, oh, you ain't supposed to live in his neighborhood, so you don't look like you do, so we gonna do all this stuff... that s*** made me mad. I'm jus out here [trying to] catch fish."A file photo of a fishing rod and a lake.
