Putting your personal bias aside, do you really see fishermen harassment in that video? I can’t comment on the legality of jumping the dam but seems to be a stretch to say what he did as harassment

Downtown Grand Rapids Michigan ?
Dom It look's like the 6th street dam to me tot least the 6th street dam keeps most of the invasive species from making it to Lansing. They are also thinking of dredging the river from GR to Grand Haven. Can you imagine all of the big power boats flying up the river if it is dredged. Say good by the good fishing.
Actually there are laws in some states that come down on those that appear to be harassing anglers or jeapordiing their safety. He should be prosecuted. I doubt jumping the dam was legal. I have to admit i have an ax to grind here. I have had on more than one occasion PWC's purposely harrass me in my boat. Came so close they ran over my lines giving me the finger. I get a bad taste in my mouth whenever I see them. We had one guy in a PWC harass two anglers in a bass tournament here, and when they finally got fed up with it they chased him into a backwater where he ran out of gas. It was shallow water, they jumped out and beat the crap out of him. Another case where a kid was harassing a guy fishing for musky. The kid got a musky plug snagged into the top of his head. Guy lost the case but the judge admonished the kid for getting too close to the boat and harassing him.
We have laws on the books to , they are only as good as the people that obey them 😉 ,
