Funny isn't it, that when you mentioned poaching that the *hole decided to leave? Makes me think that that's EXACTLY what his plan was right from the start.
I'd say that you handled yourself quite well, considering the situation.
I was going to suggest taking an old crappy lure (we all have one that is on its last legs) and cast over his line and retrieve. When he complains, throw the "no comprende' inglese" right back at him.
It will never cease to amaze me at the audacity of some anglers (I use that term loosely because there are too many poachers that get lumped in) that will get all pissy when you make a comment, reply with the "It's YOUR bridge/spot?" whine, and proceed to presume that it's THEIR bridge/spot!!!
Maybe a cool, refreshing dunk in the salt would calm him down?
(Or at least change his attitude?)
