Fisherman Dives in to Save his Favorite Rod || ViralHog

Occurred on April 4, 2020 / Mackay, Queensland, Australia

"My best mate @theinkedfisherman was kind enough to lend us his pride and joy vessel during these hard times for me and the family to go try to gather some food. Upon arriving at the reef the weather was amazing and I set up my favorite outfit a 14k Shimano Stella, Missing At Sea Pe8 casting rod and 150 death wobble. I had just put a cast straight onto a stirred up school of fusiliers and gave the rod to my partner Bianca when a GT inhaled the stick bait. I had the drag set as I normally would for myself and this proved a lot too much for my girl! I managed to retrieve the rod and get back into the boat, got the rod back in my hands and had a visual of the fish when the hooks let go."

If his wife fell in then she’s lost for good. The rod is a different story 😂😂
