These people are whackos. back in the 80s when I was working my buddies boat tuna fishing we ran into Greenpeace out on the water. We were out 28 miles and stick fishing. I was up in the tower and Paul was out on the pulpit and we were working a pod of fish when a zodiac came out of nowhere and sounded the fish. Had 4 or 5 people on it. We turned and moved on another pod of fish when they cut in front of us. I throttled back and Paul yelled at me asking what I was doing. He said to run them down. (Pauls boat at the time was a 35' JC) The TreeHuggers looked at us defiantly then Paul screamed at them. " How would you people like me to put this stick right through the side of your boat?" They got the message and didn't bother us anymore. I think they realized that paul was serious. These people had big nads acting like that out that far in an inflatable boat. We laughed about them later but it still sucked as they cost us a fish.
