Man overboard!!!

Yup it happened today off Beechy Head at 130pm! The lone ranger was out trolling away in a 14 foot open glass boat got into a spring, and it happened. The poor bugger with a rod in hand and net in the other was preparing to net the fish and out came the feet on the long reach. "MAN OVER BOARD" No B.s here. With a grip of a ironman he continued to hold the rod, and with the net floating beside him and his unpiloted boat doing circles around him he continued to play the fish. After about thirty seconds it was gone, to bad, good effort though. Then the boys teamed up off beachy, got the boat corraled and pulled the poor bugger in over the side. Then the nutbar geared down, pulled on some rain pants threw on a life jacket and dropped the gear to keep fishing. What a trooper! Any one else witness this event?
 
I've heard of becoming one with the salmon but this takes the cake. Great story!
