a bang stick tied to a harpoon suitable for blowing a hole in any boat that tries to run me down at sea-> if done deliberately.
and Van if you "had" stopped to "chew out" that guy you might have saved someone else from his future mindless acts of aggression and stupidity. Just keep your hands in your pockets.
I was lake fishin one day with my wife in the boat as well and i had a guy suddenly ZOOM around us with his oversized boat just to make sure he'd beat us and my trolling motor to a favorite spot i was heading for. Not only did we almost get capsized in his wake i imediately motored over to him and started telling him what a total jerk he was from ten feet away. Seeing that he now had a Scottish Barbarian on his hands he just chose to ignore me.
In less than ten minutes i was at the Department of Fish and Game filling out a complaint form in triplicate so that his violation would be on record. All he had to do was say he was "Sorry" and that was to much to ask. All boaters are responsible for their wake whether its intentionally used to swamp someone else or purely by accident causes harm.......it amounts to the same thing.
Responsibilty for your own Actions.
