Amen fella,
Nothing worse than your sense of control and safety being shaken to the foundation.
You were there, was it night ?
Don't sweat it. I would feel as you but would be eventually blessing the fact that it happened, no one got hurt other than his pride (and maybe his $500 worth of catalog buying), your pride and both of you can fish another day. One of you with more caution and you with more experience on how QUICK scary stuff can go down.
