Funny I should find this thread this morning. Myself and a buddy were at FA fishing last night and were actually two of the first people in the water looking for this gentleman. We were fishing in the NE corner and one of the guys in our group heard some girls yelling. We ran over and to our surprise there was only 1 person in the water looking and well over 50 bystanders on shore.
3 of us dropped our gear (and most of our clothes) and jumped in and started combing. Unfortunately this was north of the beach and the dropoff is incredible. At 15ft out from shore we could not find bottom, and we consider ourselves pretty good divers.
Very sad to see this happen, it was a strange and uncomfortable event. My condolences and prayers go out to the family.
