As peaceful as angling is, it sure is dangerous on the other hand. Its always shocking to hear this kind of news, but when you sit and thick about it. drowning, animal attacks, injury, exposure. So much can go so wrong in such a little amount of time, one wrong step
Nice work to by buddy who went in after him yeah we all know that could've went wrong for you as well, but at the time, you dont think about it, you just go man!! You're a good person.
I may have told this story before but, I saw two older/overweight looking fellas (I'm 47 so older starts to blend together) wading on the south side of the river down by Jensens. As we went by in buddies boat, one of them fell in, he was up to his arm pits and was struggling, so was his buddy, to get him out. Buddy was turning the boat and i was getting ready to jump in when they managed to scramble up onto the shore. That got real tense, real quick, one wrong step. These guys where old enough and big enough that if they both ended up in the water, it would've been really bad.
