Big Fish Pulls Bakersfield Man into California Aqueduct

Big Fish Pulls Bakersfield Man into California Aqueduct by GoFISHn TeamWe all have a  "the one that got away" story, but this one's a bit different.

A man had to be rescued by firefighters from an aqueduct located south of Bakersfield after being pulled into the water by a big fish. 

The fisherman says he and a buddy were fishing early Tuesday morning when he claims that a 125-pound catfish pulled on his line so hard that it caused him to lose his footing, and he fell into the swift current of the aqueduct. The man was in the aqueduct for more an hour, until firefighters arrived to save him.
