I would have looked at her and keep right on fishing. When going to an area like that I think its a good idea to have the GW's phone number in your phone. When she starts her bull give him a call then ask her for her name and number so that I may give it to the GW as he wants to have a chat with her. I might have even still been setting there even if I were not catching. But I would hae keep fishing. Have seen people on the yak forum that had video with audio setups on their boats. I like this and the one thing I would want to add to it is a monitor and the ability to make the camera scan. Would be worth showing to a GW/judge while making a complaint for being harressed.
