Well on the plus side it probably served as a good reminder and had myself and probably others reviewing in our minds if we recently could have cut across a fish someone was playing. We were sure we had not but you saying that the guy said he could not change course makes it a certainty. That said, I know it is frustrating but perhaps this is an issue best not posted although I note you wisely did not give any identifying details. The bottom line is little good comes from it and from what I have seen on the forum it just becomes a pezzzing match. Claims, counter claims, you were x close, no I wasn’t etc. If it’s a forum member who has been embarrassed publically, they probably won’t forget it, meaning you have made them and their friend’s enemies. We all need to rely on each other out there and it may just be that same guy who ends up towing you away from the rocks when your engines won’t start. If you know who they are, consider speaking to them privately or at the time if they are close enough to talk to. It is really between you and them. No one wants to cut off anyone’s fish, but it happens, sometimes unavoidably and sometimes from a moment of distraction or a bad decision because they are preoccupied woundering if they will get to keep the boat in the divorce settlement etc.
