Glad you made it back up, we all learn by lessons like this! Well done for leaving it up as a cautionary tale! Also, is that a Shakespeare beta 3 piece beachcaster I see? Not a bad Rod at all.
Well that certainly put my blood pressure up. We certainly make some genuine errors when fishing. A couple of weeks ago I went to the right of the car park next to the martello tower off the rocks doing a big of lure fishing. I watched as the coastguard rescued a man in a kayak who was struggling against the flood tide and they dropped him on the beach next to the rocks I was going to fish off. Fished over high and was close to the water when a wave soaked my feet, it was too slippery in my trainers so had to take them and my socks off and scramble up the rocks with all my gear, I assure you it was not easy for a 72 year old which goes to show that whatever age we are we all make errors of judgement.To cap it all I blanked.
It was a sketchy moment , hopefully I’ve learned some lessons though, and ah crikey sorry to hear you blanked, just have to use it as an excuse to go again :)

We all live and learn mate, but respect to you for trying your best to release the fish.
not the fishes fault you want to go fishing, if its not for food, you've got to do what you can to get them back safely
Done the same mistake of fishing alone same area near the martello tower. Never fished again on the rocks in night after that 😂
certainly a learning curve, particularly when the light went out
