Like other people said, they assumed that you were catching pike because pretty rare to see people getting open water whitefish, especially from shore.
The rod part sucks a bit for sure. But kind of good the people called it in even though it was an inconvenience. If i was a ways away i would not assume someone was getting whites that often. But i would confirm first. But to each their own. Try not to let it wreck having been successful for whites! Congrats on that!
