Sea lion yanks fisherman overboard

A sea lion yanked a 62 year-old retired pharmaceutical company manager out of his boat and into the 51-degree Willamette River channel.

Clinging to the gunwale with his right hand, he held fast to the net with his left but was no match for what likely was a male California sea lion.

He had to let the $150 net and the fish go. Gone, too, were his son's G. Loomis rod and Penn reel, valued together at about $500.
