nice job Paul

Paul -

Great work there.

BF -

Very nice gesture.

Paul .Thank you. Thank God you both made it.

My compliments to you sir.It is so good to know there are still people who are willing to do what you did.
Ya know,It makes me laugh when I tell someone who has no clue,that I surf fish.I believe they envision casting on a tranquill beach,with thier pants rolled up to thier calves.Like somthing out of a tv commercial.
The reality as we all know can be quite the opposite.Couple things 20 years of surf fishing has taught me.I'll turn around and go home if during a big heave I find myself alone,and even if some nights during these storms,some guy's irritate me for what ever reason,I try to keep my thoughts to myself.One of these guy's might just save my life.

Gosh Darn it Paul! What were you thinking????? Another chance to thin out the competition blown!! :wall:

Seriously though, nice job. Good looking out.:buds:

:cheers2: Job well done! You will be rewarded some how or some way!

That man owes you more than a beer. Well done, and I hope you're around when I'm fishing.

nice work NIKO
 

you da man

your a hero.... Glad you were there to help him

Ever notice that regardless of conditions, someone will try and get further out than you? I don't like that "extreme" mindset where a person puts themselves in danger then yells for help when it goes south and expects a more sensible person to accept their risk to save them.

:agree:

I with you Joe - hence my recommendation of what should have been done with the fish.

It's one way to cleanse the gene pool, I guess - but Niko put himself at considerable risk performing a rescue in tough conditions. Cheers to him for that!

You know, I hope never to be put in that position, myself - although I have made up an MOB (man overboard) throw-line that I now carry on my plug bag.

Think about the risk to yourself and others before taking a chance like that in a heavy sea - had that guy over the side been more experienced, he wouldn't have found himself in that position - hopefully, anyway :hs:

I pulled somebody out of the rocks at Weekapaug on a night when there was a big sea on - a long time ago. That ended up being a very close call for me also.
I used to love to fish the breachways under rough conditions - there would always be fish inside, but after that I stopped going. I did not want to be put in another situation where I would have to either risk my life, or commit a sin of omission in not helping someone in distress.

Nice job Paul hope this guy realizes how lucky he was that you were there when he woke up in the morning.
