The incident unfolded on December 18, at approximately 12:57 a.m., according to an official report by the National Sea Rescue Institute.
Upon arrival, emergency responders found a 31-year-old woman safely on the beach. Paramedics treated her for non-fatal drowning symptoms, and she did not require further medical assistance.
The woman, a resident of George, had entered the water for a late-night swim but was swept out by rip currents during the Spring low tide. Observing her struggle, a local angler cast his fishing rod toward her, skillfully hooking her jeans with a Kabeljou fishhook.
He then reeled her in toward shallower waters, where another fisherman waded in to assist her onto the beach. Emergency services arrived shortly afterward to ensure her safety.
The fisherman’s resourceful and heroic actions have been widely commended, highlighting a remarkable act of courage and quick thinking that helped save a life.
