Crews Search For Missing Squid Fisherman Off Hyannis Coast

HYANNIS (CBS) -- Searchers were combing the ocean off Pointe Gammon in Hyannis Saturday night looking for a missing squid fisherman.

The man was among two people in a 17-foot boat that somehow capsized around 7:45 p.m. A good samaritan rescued one man from the water and brought him safely to shore but the second man vanished in the waves.
