KEWAUNEE - A boater on Lake Michigan near Kewaunee found himself between a rock and a wet place Thursday.

The U.S. Coast Guard had to rescue the 41-year-old man after his boat became stuck on a breakwall.

Authorities say the man was trying to remove a fish hook from his clothes when the boat kept running and hit the wall.

Due to the shallow area, the Coast Guard rescued him using an inflatable craft normally used for ice rescues.

The boater wasn't injured.
