During bumper-to-bumper traffic in Louisiana, a man decided to try his luck fishing from the bridge, video shows.
The man was videotaped reeling in his fishing pole over the Bonne Carre Spillway in New Orleans on Tuesday morning, according to Fox 8.
An accident involving multiple 18-wheelers shut down the spillway just before 9:30 a.m., resulting in 50-60 gallons of diesel spilled, according to Fox 8.
