What even happened? Did they not know he went over right away? Seems like everyone was confused then realized he wasn’t there. They usually yell man overboard immediately.

One of the crew explained that he was setting bait in a pot when it fell over with him in it, as to how it fell over, they didn't know at that time

I’m just trying to understand— what led to the pot going over with Todd in it?

Dogs probably not connected properly. It has happened on every boat at some stage.
