Xmas Fishing - interesting catch!

[Bear001]

Well - they say a photo is worth a thousand words...so here goes a couple of photos from Xmas.

With the dam rises, the fish have certainly slowed down.


Bit weird seeing the dam full!



Couple of smaller cod, all about 55, 58 & 65cm














Yes - OK...it had to happen eventually
...kicked the bloody jackall box, pulled my foot out and ...oooh

.....couldnt cut the owner treble off with my pliers, waaaaay down the bottom of dam on my own....had to relent and call hubby to come out and get me (think my pride hurt more than my toe )

....oh & bring some bloody tin snips.....lol........cut the treble off...hopping around giving orders on how to put the boat on. ....trip to hospital...2 morphine shots in the butt , 2 maxalon in the butt, 1 tetanus in the arm, xray - treble in to the bone, 8 local shots in the toe later .....you know what my damn butt and arm hurt more than my toe in the end.........lmao......

.....OK - you can all take the piss now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







YES - CATCH AND RELEASE ON THAT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like you had an eventful xmas break then.
The fish look healthy but damn that hook looks painful and through the actual toe nail as well. You must have gave it a good kick.
What dam were you fishing?
Cheers

Good trip but the end price seems a bit much!!

That's why I always wear enclosed shoes and file the barbs off!!!

Hope you have a quick recovery and keep on fishing!!

lol, yeah all sweet, like I said, my butt & pride hurt more than the toe....stepdaughter thought it was hilarious and kept taking photos on her phone in emergency.....lol...

Jackall/blade box was under the console, the owner treble was sticking out the side, didnt feel it going in...but sure as hell felt it when I pulled the foot back out, with the whole box attached...ouch!!!! LMAO

Was at split rock dam when I did the damage, but spent xmas at Keepit which has gone from 20% to 100%!!!

Well Cindy, that made for an interesting trip. Some good fish there, even if you got a bit toey in the end.

Hmmm...those last two shots had to be taken with a 'digital' camera!

Nice cod pics Cindy.

Don't worry about the treble. I got one in my left thumb back in 2007 that had to be surgically removed. 11 injections and a big cut in the ball of my thumb left me with a little scar and a numb spot. Not a drama on a toe...
