We had a fisherman troll his lines across a starting line (the "P" flag had dropped in the sequence) with about 10 boats on it once.

I guess that's one way to keep the boats from going over early.

I was forced to start near the pin (for other reasons) and missed all the shouting, but I think the guy's lines did get caught on one or two boats near the starting boat.

Obviously, this did not foster the "warm and fuzzy" relationship racers have with drunk fisherman.
