I think we saw that footage before, but it's still as hilarious as when it was
fresh. My theory: they were getting something (small) close enough to net when
whatever it was got bagged by one big effing fish with a big effing spike
growing out of its face (sword fish, I presume - but I've never seen a live
one).

Meanwhile, Our Hero had some kind of rig that attached his reel to his chair.
I was thinking the reel was hooked to the back of the seat, because when the
poor bastid gets launched it sure looks like the seat-back went over the rail
with him. No way was he merely holding onto the rod - more like the gear was
holding onto him...
