However, with the kid...I think you lost a good teaching opportunity by your outburst. The adult definitely deserved it...the kid some strong correction, yes. But from your description ( I wasn't there so only my .02 ) sounds like a missed opportunity.
The kid may just keep a lookout for you and not change his behavior from now on!?
At any rate, I do understand the anger as I get just as angry at knuckle heads kicking in skates, doggies or bluefish in the suds. All fish ( animals! ) deserve to be treated properly and with respect.

@surfrod, you're probably most likely right in regards to the kid, but you got to admit that an 18 or 19 year old still knows what their doing is wrong when kicking a poor fish around on the concrete which is why he was included in my wrath... but with that said, if I see this kid again I will talk to him and tell him why I was upset (if he didnt already know why, LOL) and hopefully I can show him the proper way of unhooking a Pike. But the heat of the moment when I see cruelty and abuse it just gets the best of me.
