The guy is laughing as he says to me "hows the fishing"
I say to him "you got to be kidding me, your setting your gear right on top of me"
The lunatic goes into a screaming fit "your fishing in my F***ing ocean, I fish here 12 F***ing months a year, I own this F***ing ocean, ect.......
Some more heated exchanges went back and forth.
Next thing the guy starts driving his (larger) boat at mine and is going to ram my boat with his ! I quickly start my motor and full throttle away as he just misses hitting me.
Some more exchanges go back and forth with this nut case, he starts to drive away, turns back towards me and tries to ram my boat again.
About 1/2 hr later the environmental boat out of Boston comes over to us.
I tell the officer who came aboard my boat my story.
As soon as I describe the guy and his boat the officers eyes roll and he tells me "they are very familiar with the guy and the Gloucester court system is very familiar with the guy.
The environmental police and coast guard are now investigating it.

JEEZ-us!

What a friggin' nut job!
