It was nuts, about 20 meters behind us a bloke in a tinny was fishing by himself, a big whittley pulled up near him and anchored and swung around and hit him, there was a bit of pushing and shoving then the tinny bloke pulls a 15 inch filleting knife and starts waving it around then stabs holes in the whittleys clear covers. Honestly thought someone was going to get knifed.
Sounds like the Whittley was clearly in the wrong. Using filleting knives as a weapon is not the best though but how can people justify anchoring so close that they hit someone.

Safe to say if it happened to most they would be upset.
Well done on the fish too.
