Re: Famed Angler Stewart Campbell Pulled Overboard by Marlin
Looks to me like he saw it was wrapped on the tip and tried to unwrap it and when he could not reach it was in the process of unhooking the reel from the harness when he was pulled over. Not much he could have done there. It's amazing he was able to get back in the boat with the rod. I think the only way to avoid that would be to use a safety line attaching the angler to the boat, which I believe is against IGFA rules.
