Title: Two people died during popping in Rodriguez
Post by: milchner on March 19, 2009, 09:37:18 PM
Hi guys,
today I have a very, very sad message. In Rodriguez happened a big accident during popping. Two people died. My good friend Stephan Kreupl (world record holder Blue Marlin in the 80lb class) survived. I thank to god for that.
My sympathy belongs to the two angler that died  :'(

Condolences to the families.

I was on a small boat on the Ningaloo reef once and the skipper had taken his eyes off the incoming waves for a moment and by the time he checked we had drifted closer to the reef break and were side on to a large wave not far off from breaking :o
He just had time to gun the throttle and ride up and over or we would have been in serious trouble.  It only takes a second for things to go wrong in that kind of environment so take care out there.
