• Any commercial fisherman who can%26#039;t swim is asking for trouble. Many realize that they have the world%26#039;s most dangerous job and invest in survival suits that will give them a chance at rescue.
  
  Sport fishermen who go out in boats learn to swim if they are smart. If they don%26#039;t, well, that makes more fish for the rest of us. Even the ones who fish from shore should know how to swim. Accidents do happen. 22% 2 Votes
