If we can safely presume his friends were fishing also! WHY didn't they use there rods casting over the one in the drink in the hope of getting it. Seen this done to great effect and much safer.
If there was a fish on whats the betting it was a clown fish.

I'd like to know more detail about this and exactly how it happened. Can't believe the guy did a belly flop into the sea but if he did it is unbelievable. The news attachment posted earlier said he dived in but is that what really happened? I wonder.

Pulled In By A 60lb Amble Pig or Was It Freddy The Dolphin

 

[g.ordon]

It would be interesting to know if he managed to retrieve the said item.
