Kudos to the man for quick thinking, and having the equipment to do the job.

Just another reason to have a swimbait rod handy at all times!  ...lol

But, what bait was he using?

Do you think he was working an established pattern?

i was gonna make a joke, but the guy is still in critical condition....if he comes out ok, we can have a field day!

I wish it told what gear he was using.

Ehhemdaiwacough Coughst.croixcough

Chaddy, you sound like your catching a cold. ;D

Hopefully the guy makes it.  They'll both have a heck of a story to tell for along time coming.

Yeah hah but if the guy lives it will be an amazing story.

I'd be curious to know what # test line that guy was using and if the fella in trouble was thrashing or dead weight.  The guy with the coffee was his one and only chance, what are the odds......

I wish it told what gear he was using.

I thought the fact that the struggling guy was landed implied a shimano reel at a minimum....   ;D

All in fun.  

 

I'm sure the family is very grateful even if it had been a magnun Zara Spook.
