    I've had that happen, sans the cracked ribs and the $65,000.

        That was crazy ! Not only was it a great story to tell but he had it documented on film. I can see how those tower boats can be dangerous.

              Ouch....so, how exactly did the redfish on that day bring him the $65,000.? Was it tagged? Did it win the day's tournament?

              Great story, well told... Couldn't ask for more clarity in the film. Almost like he had a photographer along with him.

                Talk about fisherman's luck! Good for him. Except for the busted rib, it turned out better than he could imagine. Thanks for sharing.

                  I guess that fish finished his bag and it was enough to win the tournament... I think that one fish put him over the top and thus he won...

                    I think there was a photographer with him. The cameras move from certain angles that tells me human operator. I'm sure tournament rules say they can't assist in any way.

                        Stop encouraging him. I just got him to ease up.

                          So, what you're saying is, you don't fall and break enough ribs when you fish.
