Authorities in Australia are still searching for a 58-year-old man who was lost at sea while fishing in a tournament over the weekend.⁠ ⁠ The man, an experienced and well-known angler named Paul Barning, was reportedly reeling in a shark when he got tangled in his line and pulled into the Pacific Ocean. Barning is now feared dead due to strong ocean currents and the fact that he wasn’t wearing a life jacket. The incident took place Sunday around 1 p.m., according to The Guardian. Barning and three other anglers were competing in a fishing tournament hosted by the New South Wales Game Fish Association. They were roughly 30 miles offshore from Port Stephens and fishing aboard Barning’s boat, Dark Horse, when the incident, which the NSWGFA called a “devastating accident,” took place.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #fishing #fishingtrip #fishingseason #shark #sharks #sharkfishing #australia #offshorefishing #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ Story by: dac.collins
