What the hell is this ????

We recently had a club tournament on our home lake here in GA. I had
been on fish for about a month(practicing). I told the non-boater that
drew out with me what I was doing, where we were going, & what bait I
was catching them on. Well it became a fiasco with this guy. If he
wasn't hung up on the bank...YES ON THE BANK, he was in the bottom of my
boat changing lures over and over. I told him, this is what I have been
using for a month, stick with it. Finally, he tied on a Norman DD22
crankbait(huge crankbait)....on a spinning rod !!! I was drop-shotting
on a rocky point and the next thing I know he's wadding up his crankbait
in my line. So once I get untangled from him and drop down to the
brushpile I'm fishing, HE GETS IN MY LINE AGAIN!!! Now I know that club
fishing is supposed to be fun and I know its supposed to be used as a
learning tool in some cases. I suggested things to help him, it went in
one ear and out the other. This guy went to the beat of his own drummer.
It was almost like fishing with a 6 y/o. So, I put my drop-shot rod down
and started down a section of rip-rap throwing a buzzbait. He breaks out
a c-rig and asks if I could slow down. I said, "partner we have less
than 20 minutes before weigh in, I couldn't fish where I needed to so
I'm pushing to get bites you're just gonna have to keep up now". I know
that makes me sound like an a-hole, but enough was enough. I tried
everything in the book to try to put him on fish. I even sat down at one
point and let him have my rod and bait and the the trolling motor to
himself. Still he zeroed. How would you guys have handled this?
