BOSTON -- The Coast Guard says a quick response helped rescue a man who fell into Narragansett Bay while fishing.
Officials say a good Samaritan called 911 on Sunday afternoon to alert authorities to the 30-year-old man in the water.
Jamestown Fire Department used radio contact to help locate the man and a Coast Guard boat was dispatched to rescue him. He was taken to Newport Hospital.

I'm happy to hear that he was rescued.
It happened to me last year and stories like this bring back the terrible memories.

Rocks at Whetherhill so it could have been "over there" too and not just @ Whetherill

Tog run is going strong over there - kinda guessing it was a subsistance fisherman that has no clue about tides and waves.

Happens every year around this time, either there or along route 1.

Glad the fisherman is ok

After reading his name in another article he is definitely someone you probably fish with and know very well

Probably. surprising though, you don't need to venture out far there to get into tog. the coves there are fairly easy to fish except for the fact that they are cliffs. not really a place I think of as far as big surf goes though...

Thankfully he was saved. It is too easy to think that "it" only happens to someone else. Last line hurts though!

A 34-year-old Cranston fisherman was rescued off Fort Wetherill Sunday afternoon, the Coast Guard and Jamestown police said.

The fisherman, identified as Maudil Aguilar, was fishing off the rocks with another man, believed to be a cousin, near East Passage in Narragansett Bay around 4 Sunday afternoon when he caught a big fish, the authorities said.

Aguilar reeled it in but fell into the water as he tried to grab it with a gaff, the authorities said.

The Jamestown Fire Department responded along with Coast Guard Station Castle Hill.

The man was pulled out of the water about 30 minutes later and taken to Newport Hospital for observation.

The fish was believed to have gotten away.

Yup it was Jackbass's cousin. I knew it. At least it wasn't another greenhorn making us look bad.
