07 Nov Juno Pier swell and Arrest!

Wednesday morning I headed up to Juno Pier to shoot and maybe catch a few myself.  Arrived at about 7am for some good morning light and shot for a while until the tide got pretty high.  Went in exchanged my camera for a board and was paddling out when a fisherman and a the whole lineup got into a little quarrel.  Long story short…from my understanding the fisherman was shark fishing with his line directly into the lineup, which was illegal.  One of the surfers then snapped the line.  The fisherman, on the end of the pier, then proceeded to throw out a sinker weight, striking an off duty West Palm Beach Police officer.  The cops were called, sides were heard and the fisherman was escorted away, supposedly arrested….
