Pennsylvania fisherman rescues bear cub struggling to swim

HUNTINGDON COUNTY, Pennsylvania -- A man fishing in Pennsylvania made the catch of his life when he spotted a bear cub struggling in the water near his boat.

Brad Meck said the cub was having trouble keeping its snout in the air, so he pulled it into the boat by the scruff of the neck where it promptly coughed up water.

Meck said he took the bear to land and released it in hopes its mother would find it.
