Of course he's in the right, he can fish wherever he wants.

But there is a pervasive issue these days with a lack of respect for other people and other people's property. I wonder, if he HAD bumped another boat, or snagged a line on a cover, or a prop, would this video still be posted? Would he have left a note and taken responsibility? Or would he have hoped no one saw and skedaddled?

I like to think it's the former, because I think people are basically good or want to be.

But if my boat were in there, I'd be afraid of the latter too...

Yup, the bad actors ruin it for everyone.
