Surf fisherman dies after being swept out to sea at sandy hook

[cowherder]

I heard he was fishing a rod with bait. A fish hit and started taking the rod into the water. He went after it and then got out too far. I'm not making judgements here, it's still very sad no matter what happened. No fish is worth your life though. RIP Sir.
