TikTokers rushed to the comment section to applaud the dad’s quick reaction time and his calm demeanor.
“Well done. Thank you for not freaking out and raising your voice. You are one calm dad,” one user wrote.
“Great dad, great save!” another user commented.
“Dad powers… activate!” joked one user.
“She didn’t even get a wet foot, good catch dad,” another comment read.
“At least she is ok. [You] can always get another Elsa rod,” one user wrote.
“They should make those kid rods float. Seriously. I have lost a few,” suggested one innovative fisherman.
When it comes to kids and water, you can never be too safe or careful. Children should always wear properly fitted life jackets when on or near the water, and they should never leave an adult’s sight. Additionally, parents should be aware of boating safety tips when taking their kids out on the water.
