A couple of buddies were fishing at a public river in Tampa, Florida, when, all of a sudden, an elderly Karen appeared and went off on them. Given that the men were not willing to stop their fishing adventure, the woman, labeled the “Wicked Witch of the West,” called the cops on them.
The Karen encounter was posted to TikTok by notorious streamer Tfue, also known as Turner Tenney. In it, he appears fishing with a friend, and almost immediately, they are accosted by the elderly Karen.
“Move your boat!” the woman screamed, multiple times. When asked why, she added, “You can’t be here!“
Even though Tfue and his buddy are in the right, as it is a public river, the Karen wouldn’t let go and continued harassing them. Both the streamer and his friend called the woman “the Wicked Witch of the West.”
“Usually, like, people are upset that I’m like casting under their dock or something,” Tfue said. “She doesn’t even have a dock.”
Despite the Karen’s presence and her “warnings,” the men continued fishing, and even caught a fish that was 27 inches long. And as they were celebrating their feat, the “Wicked Witch” told them she was calling the police.
“I am calling the police!” the woman said. “This is a prohibited area.”
Fishing Outburst, Reactions
Of course, Tfue and his buddy, both being sure they were in a public river, weren’t deterred from continuing their harmless activity. In fact, they went as far as taking a selfie with the fish and the Karen in the background.
Millions watched the clip, and thousands reacted to it, bashing the elderly Florida Karen for her overreaction.
“Why do people think the cops are their personal security service?” one user said. Another commented, “I just don’t understand why people hate fishing so bad.” A third added, “That picture of the fish with her in the background is GOLDEN.”
The video doesn’t show the police actually arriving at the scene, despite the woman’s insistence on calling them. Most likely, however, they would blast the woman for wasting their time.
