Kayak Fishing Turned Pelican Rescue!

While kayak fishing the Sunshine Skyway bridge in Tampa Florida, my day was interrupted when a lady shouted at me from the pier recruiting me to help her save a pelican that had gotten stuck in someone's fishing line, with a hook through its eye.

Can't thank you enough for helping the pelican! He would have landed in the mangroves and ended up hanging and dying. I'm a bird rescuer and deal with it all the time. We love conscientious anglers who care and help our seabirds. You definitely saved his life. Great job! 🙌

[@dillonfishing]

Thanks for the kind words Kim!
