PENSACOLA, Fla.- A Florida woman suffered minor injuries Thursday when a fish she was trying to net for her husband pulled her off a pier into the ocean, observers say.
Patricia Tenuto was trying to land a redfish her husband had hooked at a fishing pier at Pensacola Beach, Fla., the (Pensacola) News Journal reported.
"The fish was in the net, almost to the pier, and it had a burst of energy," Tenuto said. "And it pulled me in with it. I was just hoping a boat wasn't coming."
As she held onto a piling under the pier, her husband called 911.
"Falling off (the pier) is always in the back of your mind, but it ... happened this time," Paul Tenuto said. "I didn't know what to do."
Lifeguards used a personal watercraft to bring her to shore where paramedics treated her, the News Journal reported.
And the fish? It got away, the Tenutos said.
"It was a good size one," Paul Tenuto said. "We'll be back for it."

That picture reminds me its time to go to the beach. Ft Desoto park, 45 minute drive and one of the best beaches in the country. Absolutely stocked with pretty ladies like the one in that picture.
Water, beach and sun arent bad either.

I don’t know how those optical illusion pics work but I had to look at it for at least 5 minutes before I saw the fish.

When my daughter was in 4th grade, they went on a school camping trip and I was a chaperone. One of the girls in the class was confined to a wheelchair. The kids went fishing in the pond, using corn kernals as bait. Nobody caught a thing, except for the girl in the wheelchair. She hooked the 18 inch carp, but it almost took her into the pond. One of the other chaperones got the wheelchair after she traveled about 18 feet down the dock, just before she got to the end.
It could have been a scene in a Leslie Nielsen movie.

I believe that is a pic of the not so rare and not very elusive camel toe.

It got away but they have the net to prove she didn't just fall in the water.

C'mon...let the fish win one every once in a while!
I'm from a fishing family. When my son became a teenager and we had our little talk, I told him that dating was like fishing...It's always "catch and release".

Did you hear the joke about the single woman who went fishing with
four guys for the weekend and came back with a big red snapper?
No?
Well, here she is ... ;)
