Is Brock Horner the best charter captain you'll ever meet in your (expletive) life? He may be the most obscene, and he's about to be the most famous.
Horner, the owner of Tarpon Coast Fishing Charters in Punta Gorda, is going viral after a young fisherman, Gage Towles, posted video of the older captain yelling at him across the water, apparently mistaking him for another boater, before jumping from his boat into Towles' and taking off with the younger man still aboard.
Towles, who had been steadily trying to calm the man down during the nearly five-minute exchange, offered panicky apologies until Horner allowed him to take the wheel again.
The Punta Gorda Police Department, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the U.S. Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg are investigating the incident.
Horner has apologized. In a statement released to Gulf Coast News, his attorney, Scott Weinberg, said, "First and foremost, Brock sincerely apologizes to Gage, to Gage’s family, and to anyone who was frightened or upset by what they saw. He is deeply sorry. What began as a moment of frustration and concern escalated in a way it simply should not have.
