Surfcaster in Nahant Swept off Rocks!
 
Unreal...It can happen so fast. He's in critical condition but is obviously EXTREMELY lucky! http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO122469/

that sucks. people really need to be smarter though. i fished in that general area the beginning of the big swell on friday night into saturday morning and it was starting to approach unsafe by the time i left. there's no way in hell i was fishing east facing rocks at high water on saturday afternoon or sunday morning.

Guy had a death wish denied, apparently.

I was on my boat this afternoon and heard the pon pon from the coast guard.

Yesterday we were coming in from Stellwagen and were about 5 miles out east of Hull when we saw the coast guard helicopter going back & forth and it became apparent something was up.
Turned up the volume on 16 and the pon pon came in about 2 overturned kayacks and 2 men missing..
We hung in the area and tried to aid in the search.
I think I saw on tv this morning the coast guard rescued the 2 guys and a dog washed up on some rocks near hull !
Made me wonder what the f*** these guys were thinking being that far out on a kayack :smash::smash::smash:

Not a terribly bright fellow. Lesson to learn by.

I don't know if you guys saw, but it turns out the guy wasnt so lucky. I saw on the news this morning that he passed away yesterday.

A man's got to know his limitations. RIP

Rest in peace to a Brother Surfcaster is right.

Remember folks, no fish is worth your life, regardless of how much it may seem so at the time.
