Fisherman drowns in Columbia trying to recover pole

[Raincatcher]

Thought I would share... Please don't do this...the only thing in that boat worth dying for is family or friends.

How utterly tragic for his family and friends. Trying to retrieve gear, just ISN'T worth the risk.

 

[jrbecca]

Very sad. Things can always be replaced, people can't. My thoughts go out to all who will be missing him.

 

[troutmasta]

Rest in Peace Fishing Friend.

Man, what a sad thing. Makes you realize how important safety and awareness are when we are out on the water.

 

[Hawk]

Always wear a Personal Floatation Device, out on the water, Please. This death may have been prevented.

Such a terrible tragedy.
