i ?!u?d ?uop (7/26/2009)there is no way in this world i would strap myself to a PENN reel let alone my kid.dont take it personal but that a good way to get snatched over the gunnels and make a good desent.

my dad was just telling me about a similar situation off the outer banks that happened not to long ago while bluefin stand up tuna fishing.they haven't found the guy yet.it happens alot more than we get told about.

You must be using some strong string on a 30 or 50 to get pulled over

60 lb diamond moi moi on a 50 wide already with the momentum of the fish and than the drag locks up and freezes.you already have 7 feet of rod in front of you and depending on the height of the gunwales it is more than possible to get pulled in the drink.i seen a dude go in with a spinning rod.boats rocking and you lose your step and balance .all it takes is a split second and see ya!!!!!!

That's what the safety line and rod lanyards are for, plus the harnessman helps the angler stay balanced and in the boat. I try to take appropriate safety precautions to the activities I engage in.

In that video the angler wasn't clipped into the chair and the chairman was nowhere around the angler to help him. The rod didn't have a tether clipped to it. That incident could have been prevented by following established fishing procedures.

and by the looks of it he wasnt paying attention either

you can speculate till the cows come home.just an example that 50 lb class line can snatch you over without a problem.i dont think he was in the chair to begin with.looks almost like he was sitting in some make shift deck chair wearing a harness and maybe he adjusted the drag or the reel malfunctioned or the line pinched.who knows.im sure someone learned a lesson.

He was sitting in a chair and he was wearing a seat harness, you can see both in the video. However his seat harness wasn't clipped to the chair nor was the rod tethered.
