Boat or shore it don't matter... anyone have a close calls last year that they would rather not talk about
Its good to keep those type of incidences fresh in our minds.
At night last fall as I approached the area I was fishing I noticed the swells just above average with the occasional biggin. Where I placed my gear and extra rod was shelf in a rock formation, to fish it I'ld walk down 10 yrds or so and your still 15-18 feet from the water depending on the tide. This is one of those area'a that on many nights you can't keep your eyes off the swells but you know your save. Later that night I hooked into a Large bass and she took me a little ways from where I began, not to my likeing because it was opposite from where I would normaly land her, which ended up being a blessing. As I finally seen her come up and get closer I was still undecided on how I would land it, just as this is happening I see this HUGE swell not only did it go clean over wher I was fishing but it came very close to sweeping all my gear away which way up there. Had I been landing that fish on the other side I would have been crushed. Gilly showed up and I remember telling him 'I think that fish saved my live dude.'
