That is horse bleep, I would certainly provide video and tell them to press forward on it. Jerks like that need to have justice served in them.

I say turn him in. I'm just curious what the game warden will do with it.
Some folks won't learn manners until manners are beat into them, sometimes through fines and legal punishment.

If they do it to you, they will do it to others. Make an example of them.

Turn him in. I can't stand people that think they own a spot..even if it's under YOUR dock..the water, and anything in it(put there by you or not) is for anyone who pays the state to fish in their water. Friggin fish Nazis.

I talked to a game warden today about an issue on the water. We were sharing a point with another boat. We caught 3 fish and they moved over to our area or casting line. They had to big motor over if that tells you our separation. Long story short they go over my line in their boat. I catch an 8 from under their boat. I asked them to please be respectful and not cross my line anymore. They just kept doing zig zags over it and I got it all on camera. At one point the man yelled "who do you think sank the brush you're fishing ?" I told him I didn't care and that I was filming him if he continues drive over my line. Then they went and got another boat and came back out and did same stuff. Warden told me this is common when people fish off shore tournaments but what they did is harassing an angler. He can run their tags and punish them I guess ? Do I follow through and seek justice or was caching an 8 from under their boat good enough? What would happen to them if I tell the warden I want to "press charges"? You talked to a game warden and yet you're asking the OT if you should do anything? Did the game warden have any opinion? His thoughts would seem to me to be a better source for an answer.

+1 , I know, I know....first instinct is to raise Hail with them but, just let it go. You will be better off for it and not let it ruin your day. JMO God Bless Just let it go. If you press charges then he is likely to destroy the brush pile. It seems to be a great spot for you. You might share the video with the Warden and he may give the guy a call with a warning. He will thank twice before doing something like that again, knowing that you gave him a break.
Although Wardens are very busy and is not likely to do anything unless you do press charges; but you could ask.

I doubt much can be done about it.
Even though you have video, I suspect the warden must see it in person and then I doubt he would do much.
I suspect the law of "harassment of fisherman" is about the same as the "Citizen Arrest Law"

I don't understand why some people are that way, I would let the warden do his job and you need to move on, don't let it eat on you.
If it was easy, everyone would do it

Not true if it's a good video. Video does NOT lie.

I would mark his brush pile on my graph as a waypoint and a post a pic of the 8 lb bass....and post both on TFF. Lol. It would help us "help you".
Oh....and that guy would go ape [censored]!

IMHO...turn the video in for the law to fix the problem...too many people never have to face the music for their assaults on others so they get embolden and it continues to escalate...who knows next time they could ram you, jump in your boat and assault you or worse shoot at you...remember you are dealing with idiots who are not rational to begin with.
