Hahahahaa, great story...

I was pulled off my chair (and breaking it) "cheap folding camping chair" while grabbing a hand line that was floating out the back of the boat with a dead stripy on it and a set of 6/0's on about 100lb mono, when the chair broke I was moments over being dragged over the side of the boat but ended up letting it all go and watched my handline disappear. I called it for a shark or something at the time, hell of an experience, the deckie diddn't even have time to catch me nor help me it happened so fast, he wasn't impressed I asked to swap seats with him afterwards.

You did'nt happen to have a photo???

Anyway, you are very luck to have caught a nice fish and no broken bones.

Well done & a good story.

Not wuite pulled overboard but close. Was 5yo trolling with dad and his mate on the east alligator in the NT. I was holding the rod cause dad was up front and his mate was steering. All of a sudden my but is in the air and someone grabs me before I go over. Even at that age I knew I didn't want to go for a swin cause there are crocks & bull sharks everywhere!

I didn't let go of the ugly stick though!! Ended up being a barra of about 16lb. Fought too hard for me so dad had to finish the fight for me. Dad also had to help me hold it up for the photo as was almost as big as me.

Night fishing for barra off a bridge up north, the bridge had no hand railings and you had to stand on a 30cm wide bit of timber with cars pushing past close behind you. We were just kids and using 80 lb handlines with live prawns as bait. A big girl boofed my prawn and I set the hook only to get caught off balance and take a dive into the river. Luckily I managed to hang on to the handline and get a grip on a bridge pylon. My so called mate rescued,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the hand line (!!!!) and left me to swim for the bank. By the time I'd gotten back up on the bridge it was all over and my mate had a new personal best fish. Still havent forgiven him or myself for that matter.:-[ :(

havent been pulled in or over but came close mid last year at the pine whilst prawning late at night with a cast net ,while waiting for the net to hit bottom I felt that lovely flick flick through the net then out of no where I was pulled off balance managed to smash my knee into the side of the tinnie and quickly remove the net from my wrist and tied it to the side rail a short game of pull tug occured and when I finally got it to the surface I had caught the biggest cat fish ive ever seen It certainaly gave me a bit of a fright and im sure glad now it was a cattie and not one of the bull sharks Ive pulled out of there.

Another Darwin story..just before cyclone tracy I lived on the foreshore at nightcliffe around the corner from lims pub .Used to fish across the road at what I called My Rock .Using poddy mullet on a 100 lb handline I would spend some well earned stress releif and indulge in a few ambers.One night ( after about 8 or 9 ambers) ,I hooked up to a real good fighter.played him for around 10minutes and as I got him close to my rock,the barra decided to give one huge last dash for freedom resulting in me taking a dive into the black unknown .to cut it short I got him a corker of a saltwater barra .Sure sobered me up .
