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

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
