Despite my probable disagreement with the majority here, IMHO two wrongs don't make a right. Regardless of the lack of knowledge and care for the fish, it's far more objectionable to personally threaten two people (at worst) and risk inciting a fight (at best). Given your description of events, had there been a fight and had the police been called I envision you as the one getting hauled away in the back of the cruiser. And deservedly so.
I think the mature and ethical thing to do is calmly educate them and show how to handle the fish.
Their lack of knowledge, and even their lack of care for the living thing doesn't excuse your berating of them.
Just my two cents. OK maybe 4 cents.

First of all, I highly doubt that those idiots or anyone on this board would actually think that I would "kick" their a$$ over a fish.. Secondly, I dont need to be calm, comforting and educational to an idiot that is clearly and knowingly abusing a living creature and Thirdly, I am a federal law enforcement agent (US Marshal) so Im pretty sure I know what I can and can not do aside from being educated on behavior from somebody like you buddy.. Finally, if you are easily offended by words and attitude then I dont know how you ever get around other guys during a football game or fishing trip when shit talking is at its peak... just my official .02
PS... I also hope your not an avid trout fisherman cuz your in for a rude and wide eyed awakening if your not ready to handle crap talking, attitiude and threats of bodily harm......
