Chief Petty Officer Walter Shinn says rescuers searched a 28-mile square area about 650 miles south of Anchorage since getting the distress call just before 10 a.m. yesterday. They will return to the area at first light hoping to find a 40-year old male. Shinn declined to identify the man but says his family has been contacted. Shinn says the 90-foot fishing vessel Seabrooke reported the crew member got his feet tangled in a crab pot line and went overboard. Seas were 3- to 5-feet, with water temperatures at 34 degrees and air temperature at 19 degrees. www.aksuperstation.com/news/37218334.html
