Magnolia Man Found Guilty of Careless Operation of a Vessel
The Kent County Court of Common Pleas today found a fishing boat captain guilty of careless operation of a vessel in an incident that occurred the evening of July 14 at reef site 3 off Big Stone Beach in the Delaware Bay.
David Russell, age 31, of 4749 Irish Hill Road, Magnolia, was fined a total of $106 for operating the “Miss Shyanne” in a careless or imprudent manner in an incident involving a high speed approach and verbal altercation with another boater. On the additional charge of harassment, Russell was found not guilty.
“Boaters and fishermen must operate their vessels in a courteous manner, and when they don’t, enforcement actions and arrests do occur,” said Sgt. Gregory Rhodes of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement. “Courteous boating is part of safe boating.”
For further information, contact Sgt. Gregory Rhodes, Fish and Wildlife Enforcement, at 302-542-6102 or 302-739-9913.

Sounds like Headboat Capt, got upset. Not knowing the details, who's to say. But I think the thread of him being found guilty hurt him worse than the $106.
