I saw that story on the local news here, kind of funny, and he seemed to really take it in stride, especially when another fisherman on another boat hooked up the same fish, still had the rod and arm attached.. and returned it.

Can't imagine why anyone thought strapping a tarpon rod/reel to this guys prosthetic arm was a good idea!! :?

I especially like how the PTTS made all the heroes wear bright green shirts as to stand out. A great diversion to take eyes away from all of the dead tarpon.
