You were at fault. If you purchase a kayak, or even venture out in your skiff, please mark the vessel with some identification and we will have a talk.
The local waters are full of people like you - too much money and not enough respect for other people. If you were half a man you would have found the 'yaker and at least paid for his lost equipment, not to mention offering an apology.
Remember, "what goes 'round, comes around". See you on the water
