caption: <PERSON>, 58, walks past the boat ramp at Ballard Park in Melbourne where on Dec. 10, 2015 he was cast-netting for bait fish and became infected with Vibrio vulnificus, a naturally-occurring bacteria that can cause serious illness and death. ``The baitfish, little finger mullet, were right up against the bank,'' <PERSON> said. ``I called my fishing buddy,<PERSON>), and said, '<PERSON>, we can get them and not even get wet.' '' Water dripping from the net ran down <PERSON>' leg, getting into a small cut on his right ankle.
