Crazy I think.. As much as I like fish I don't think any amount is worth getting washed off the rock, I could see one had a life jacket on but not sure about the others.. The waves were crashing around them the whole time we were there.
I'd definitely say crazy too and as you say I can see one wearing a life jacket. A friend of ours, now long retired used to be an air sea rescue helicopter winchman and he lost count of the number of bodies he got out of the water when rock fishermen were in trouble.
