ESCAMBIA COUNTY -- Charges are pending against a fisherman who "intentionally hooked" a diver, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission report.
The dive boat had gotten to the site of a Russian freighter wreck after the fisherman was already set up, the report said.
That angered the fisherman, who threw a jig twice at two divers when they surfaced nearby. On the second cast, he caught one of the diver's wet suit and ripped it on the arm.
The fisherman told the FWC officer that he hadn't been trying to hurt the divers, but wanted them to know they were on his spot.
