Incident during Elite tournament.
Has anyone else seen this story? James Niggemeyer saves a man and his little boy from drowning during the tournament.

That is a real eye opener for sure. You never know what could happen out there. Thank God for James Niggemeyer and his marshall, Russ, who saved these people's lives.

That is too surreal having little children. It drove a chill up me thinking about what that father had to be thinking. I can imagine what was only a couple of minutes felt like an eternity. God blessed them.

There is no doubt that the good Lord put James Niggemeyer in that spot on the lake at that very moment for a reason. It was not only a brave thing he did by putting his boat in harms way to save these people but it was also a degree of quick thinking that very few people would have been able to do. I sure hope that this dad learned from this experience, but I also hope that it doesn't scare this little boy out of fishing as he gets older.
