When Anthony Wichman hauled the massive tuna from the ocean, his boat tipped over under the weight of the yellowfin – or ahi – tuna.
The 54-year-old was thrown into the sea and his leg then became caught in the fishing line which dragged him underwater.
He eventually managed to free himself and clambered onto the hull of his partially-capsized his 14-foot boat to call his wife on his mobile.
According to Metro nes.com , the US Coast Guard sent an helicopter to rescue Mr Wichman, who was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
He was fishing about 10 miles south west of Port Allen on the island of Kauai when he hooked the fish.
Wish him quick recovery and more less dangerous catch next time.
