Other Peoples Trout (OPT) Sticker

You don't own the trout. They're God's trout.

🎣 “DOWN WITH OPT” 🎣
(to the rhythm of “O.P.P.” by Naughty by Nature)

[Intro]
Yeah… you know me.
Yeah… you know me.
You down with O.P.T.?
(Yeah you know me!)
Who’s down with O.P.T.?
(Every last streamer!)

[Verse 1]
Well it’s another fly bro hangin’ on the river bend
Talkin’ ‘bout the brown trout like he raised ‘em as a friend
“Don’t step there, buddy, that’s my favorite lie…”
Brother, if it’s public water, that fish can say goodbye

You named that rainbow “Walter,” got photos on your phone
Cryin’ when somebody else drifts through “your” honey hole
Got a drift boat parked like a gated country club
Meanwhile I’m bushwhackin’ poison ivy through the shrubs

“Private access only,” yeah I saw the little sign
But the streambed’s legal, baby, and that trout ain’t thine
I’m slidin’ through the cattails with a six-pack and a grin
Like a raccoon with a fly rod lookin’ guilty as sin

[Hook]
You down with O.P.T.?
(Yeah you know me!)
Catchin’ other people’s trout for absolutely free
You down with O.P.T.?
(Yeah you know me!)
That twenty-inch brown was never your property

You down with O.P.T.?
(Yeah you know me!)
If it swims in public water then it’s community
You down with O.P.T.?
(Yeah you know me!)
Sorry bout your pet fish, now he’s in my story

[Verse 2]
Met a guy from Jersey wearin’ fifty grand in gear
Said “We protect these trout around here year to year”
Buddy talks conservation while he mean mugs kids
Like the Delaware River’s under personal bid

He says “That fish eats dry flies right around six fifteen”
Thanks for the intel, king, you’re a real good team
Soon as dusk hit water I was castin’ that seam
Hooked your little sweetheart first drift through the stream

Now he’s yellin’ from the bank like I keyed his Corvette
“It took me seven seasons just to earn that fish’s trust!”
Brother it’s a trout, not your emotional support pet
And he still ate my hopper like a total little slut

[Bridge]
Listen…
A trout don’t know your name
A trout don’t care your brand
A trout sees one dumb grasshopper
And BAM—he’s in my hand

[Hook]
You down with O.P.T.?
(Yeah you know me!)
Other people’s trout taste like sweet victory
You down with O.P.T.?
(Yeah you know me!)
Catch-release-repeat with a little degeneracy

[Outro]
To the dude guarding river access like a medieval knight—
Lighten up.
Them fish belong to God, the state, and occasionally… me. 🎣
