HALLOWELL, Maine - A man who was drowning in a Maine river recovered Friday after getting reeled in with a fishing rod.
Bob Greene of Hallowell said he was having his morning coffee and heard what he thought was a bird early Thursday. He then realized there was a man bobbing in the Kennebec River.
Greene said a 911 dispatcher told him to throw something out to the man. He snagged the man's shirt with a fishing lure and reeled him in.
The rescued man remained in critical condition at a Portland hospital.
