Subject 1 was fishing from his boat on Lake Bastrop and had a fishing pole laying on the deck of the boat with the lure in the water.  A fish grabbed the lure  and pulled the pole in the water.  Subject 1 attempted to grab the pole and lost his balance and fell in.  He was not wearing a life jacket and went under.  A passing boater reached under the water and retreived Subject 1.  Subject 1 was taken by ambulance to the hospital for water aspiration. Report filed by LCRA Officer
