Tight stuff alright. Watching tv last night it seemed that after he fell in two other anglers were able to hold him against the rocks but couldn't lift him out, took a while then for the lifeboat to come around and eventually get him onboard. Made you wonder was it the hypothermia that done for the poor fella.
