Charter captain goes pirate in Florida

I've seen a lot of hot headed Captains and Pilots (often due to low sleep, long hours, financial stress, a sprinkling of substance abuse and being born an asshole)
I fish with a captain out of south padre island. He works long days, and nights, captains for larger boats on his days off, and puts people on fish day in and out. He’s also the nicest guy I ever met on the water.
Regardless of whether one is rested or fatigued, one’s true nature always comes out.

He hasn't made it to gen pop yet, they keep you in confinement for the first couple days before you get classified. From which he will likely bond out assuming he has a bond, as the majority do.
It's not over yet, in fact his problems are just starting. The USCG is waiting for their turn at him and they don't fuck around. And their charges are going to be Federal.

He's not only lost his Capt. Lic., he supposedly has lost his boat as well.

And the others on the boat are also in trouble as they weren't just innocent clients but local charter captains as well.

Yeah heard one was a fire fighter and catching flack for not stepping up.

Fed investigation might with hold the bond. Won't know till Monday, no 1st appearance on the week end.
 
Can you imagine the conversation with the wife....
"Honey you might have to get a job"
"What the fuck did you do now?????"
"Well I went all roid raging on a kid and the little bastard streamed it"
"You fucking moron you never learn do you"
Thing is, if he acts that way to a total stranger in a public area, you can only imagine how he may treat his wife in private. I hope not, but I bet.
Fuck that asshole, he's a bully and deserves what he gets.
 
It was "boys day out" for his buddy captains.
I saw a pic of charter Cpt Riggs(firefighter) and he was promoting their veteran charter capt association, that caters to veterans and leo.
i am fair certain the "association" in total, was on tbe boat. Real stand up bunch.
Cannot find that promotional pic anymore. Someone is scrubbing hard, erasing profiles.

Not sure what it is about putting white guys in over equipped fishing boats turns them into Capt. Asshole, Boss of All Waterways and High Seas.

You see it in bass tournaments all the time. The petty squabling, butthurt, jealousy and chickenshit tattling by grown men to officials is no way to spend the day off relaxing and fishing.

Drifting along a bluebonnet covered shoreline in an aluminum flatbottom, a bucket of minnows and stringer of crappie and bass hanging on the side and the smell of a 3hp Johnson 4 stroke is fishing.

If some turd in a $60K sonar equipped Miss Budweiser fishing boat wanted to talk shit, we would have gone to the bank and settled it. But that never happened because that element didn't exist back when fishing was fishing.

If you're smelling your 4-stroke, you got a problem with the motor.
Just sayin.


Now, let's talk about that wonderful 2-stroke exhaust.
I love it, and I hate it at the same time.
