John Rodriguez was out on his commercial fishing boat with his wife, son and a friend when he overheard an urgent plea for help from the Coast Guard about a 63-foot sport fishing boat named Invicta that struck rocks off the Coronado Islands at around 5 a.m. and was taking on water.
The 26 people aboard the distressed Invicta put on their life jackets and reportedly deployed life rafts in the Mexican waters after the initial crash.
Rodriguez and crew, including his wife, his son and a friend, heeded the Coast Guard's call and responded to the group in distress.
Rodriguez and his crew successfully helped transfer all 21 passengers and five crew members onto his boat.
