On June 14, I posted a video in this blog that showed a shocking display of anger on the part of a mate when one of his anglers made a mistake in a fight with a large marlin and lost the fish.
In part, it served as a reminder that fishing is, after all, meant to be fun, and we should be cautious about letting ourselves take it too seriously. |

The video definitely got folks riled up, and their comments made it clear they agree that losing a fish isn’t worth losing one’s temper.
But then I noticed comments being left here and many more on SF's Facebook page becoming increasingly hostile, some disturbingly so.
I did not at any point post the name of the charter boat or its skipper, nor give any specific information beyond the general area. But at least a couple of commenters did so.
Soon after, the captain involved contacted us. He wanted us to know that he’d fired the mate — but he was now getting death threats. |
