The best charter captain you will ever meet in your f***ing life!': Viral video shows captain jumping onto fisherman's boat

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — An apparent “boat rage” incident caught on video is spreading fast on social media after it was posted by a 21-year-old fisherman in Punta Gorda.
It happened Monday night under the Route 41 bridge between Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda on the Peace River. That’s when Gage Towles has his chest camera recording when a charter captain, whom we’re not naming unless he gets charged, accuses Towles of previously boating without lights on and using a gay slur against the captain one recent morning before dawn.
“You ran right through the middle of the bridge while we were all fishing,” Towles replies, referencing another law that requires boats idle when they pass under most bridges. “My lights were on.”
Towles is alone on his boat, while several others are with the captain who asks Towles if he wants to fight.


Let's take a poll as to the political leaning of the charter boat captain!!!
