Fisherman survives six-hour ordeal in remote waters off Australia

A lone fisherman survived by treading water for six hours after falling into the sea while fishing for marlin off Western Australia.

Ross Chapman was bringing a large fish into his five-metre boat when his GoPro camera slipped.

He fell overboard while trying to rescue it, according to local news site WAtoday.

Mr Chapman had hooked the marlin about 30 nautical miles (55km) off the remote North West Cape on Tuesday.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The dangers of fishing alone. I think the danger with me is not letting me fish alone...

Yes. But all hands were lost.
