Huge Fight Breaks Out At The New Bass Pro Shop In Texas

The grand opening of a brand-new Bass Pro Shops in Odessa, Texas, got a little too wild this weekend when two men waiting in line for the restroom decided to throw hands instead of fishing poles.

The Great Odessa Outbreak

Police say the fight broke out Saturday afternoon, around 3 p.m. at the East Highway 191 location. It started as an argument in the bathroom line but spiraled into a full-blown fist fight… Though “fight” might be a generous term. Witnesses (aka the X comment section) described more flailing than actual punches.

What Happened Exactly?

According to police, the two men who started the mess ended up with only minor injuries… Probably more bruised egos than anything else. No one was taken to the hospital, and no arrests were made.

“The dispute quickly became a physical altercation that ultimately involved multiple people,” police said in a statement. But don’t expect a rematch — Bass Pro Shops handed out criminal trespass warnings and banned the main combatants from the store.

Did the Store Still Continue the Grand Opening?

The good news? The grand opening continued as planned. The bad news? The viral video of the “fight” shows two men looking like they’d never thrown a punch in their lives.
Odessa police wrapped up their report without naming the fighters. The Bass Pro bathroom line, however, will likely go down in local legend as the scene of the least intimidating brawl in West Texas history.
