All I can say is I hope the hero had his fishing license.

From the cbc.

A man who was drowning in a Maine river is recovering after someone reeled him in with a fishing rod.

Bob Greene of Hallowell says he heard what he thought was a bird early Thursday as he was having his morning coffee.

He then realized there was a man bobbing in the Kennebec River.

Greene says a 911 dispatcher told him to throw something to the man.

He snagged the man’s shirt with a fishing lure and reeled him in.

No word if Greene tossed the man back in.

Just kidding, the rescued man is in critical condition at a Portland hospital.
