Florida boat captain's 'boat rage' goes viral

A video shows a charter boat captain arguing with Gage Towles, a young fisherman, off Punta Gorda.
The captain confronted Towles over a perceived light issue, which seemed to be a case of mistaken identity.
The captain's behavior escalated; he threatened the fisherman, boarded his boat, and demanded an apology.
Captain Kevin Little stated, "That guy was coming on that boat," and noted increasing 'rage on the water.'
The Coast Guard is investigating, and a letter urged officials to revoke the captain's license after the video gained over 8 million views.
