Florida boat captain's 'boat rage' goes viral

A video shows a boat captain arguing with Gage Towles, a young fisherman, off Punta Gorda's coast.
The captain confronted the fisherman over a prior dispute involving a perceived light issue, potentially due to mistaken identity.
The charter captain became aggressive, threatened the fisherman, and boarded his boat to demand an apology, which was filmed by Towles.
Captain Kevin Little said, "That guy was coming on that boat," and stated, "We're supposed to, as captains... Take the high road."
The Coast Guard is investigating, and a letter urged officials to revoke the captain's license after the video gained over 8 million views.
