What injuries have fish inflicted on you.

[URAGANGI]

Be interesting to hear what your girlfriend/partner at the time said about it.

Well at that time, I was out playing the field....And loveing it..Pardon the pun.
The only bummer with the narsty lump and unsightly bruise was, it side lined me on the back bench for a few weeks untill the injury site cleared.

If their was any action turning into a promise, my look alike S.T.D shut things down pretty quickly.

I still have scars and painful reminders from 42 years ago when I was searching around the rocks at Tallebudgerra headland and slipped cutting the insides of both feet badly. Beld like a stuck pig and I get cramps still in the the feet as the blood vessels prbably never healed properly.

I'm surprised no one has come up with fire weed incidents.

Mate of mine got bad burns on his old fella from having a leak after washing his hands in fire weed infested waters.

Ah lets see,
Box jellyfish sting while picking up a floating crab off t'ville,
just about lost my fingers while trying to untangle a hand line and having a GT take the bare hook while my fingers were inside the knot,
showing my brother how to fish when i was 10 grabbed a 45cm catty, was in so much pain I don't even remember going to the hospital,
and tried to land a reef jack by the gill rakers, didn't end well.
Considering the things that I have done, I've come away pretty much unscathed.

so when did you realise it was in there

[murf]

so when did you realise it was in there

off topic but put a 3" HDG nail gun nail in my groin (just missed the important parts) and never felt it go in I just heard the sound of the gun go off, felt the tetanus shot though

had catfish spike as a young 12yo, had a treble through my cheek and countless bites and spikes over the years

cheers Murf

Had pretty well all of the above and you get over the pain fairly quick
a broken heart when the nearest decky grabs the leader on a 20kg red instead of the gaff, now that takes some getting over (years even)

cheers

[Dignity]

ouch, ouch ouch I know that feeling well, the deckie fast asleep and a 20 lb snapper coming up, couldn't reach either the gaff or net (my fault) but couldn't wake the bugger either and eventually lost the fish.

[SgBFish]

so when did you realise it was in there

Saw it go in. But it missed the bone and felt like a mossie bite. Only hurt when I pushed the barb right through. Kept fishing of course.

[Dignity]

so when did you get the xray of it

This thread reminded me of a fishing trip I went on with my cousin when we were about 15, fishing was slow and we were bored. We started playing that game where you start off doing the splits facing each other, and your mate throws a knife between your feet and where ever it lands you bring the closest foot to the knife untill your feet get too close and you blouse up and give in. Well I threw the knife when Brians feet wer about 12 inches apart and it landed between his toes He grabbed the knife and we started having a muck around wrestling knife fight, stabbing the sand beside each other when ever you got the chance. It ended badly when as Brian went to stab i moved suddenly and got a rusty fishing Knife just above the knee. Took some quick taking when our mums came to pick us up

Not to me but a 9 or 10 year old nephew. He was swimming the oceon beach on Bribie when a small tailor speared down the front of his speedos. Kid panicks, grabs the fish's tail & pulls. Fish spikes straight into his little jatz crackers! Poor kid then had to endure a female doctor.

one time at mondy with a mate at night wosh from a boat hit us as i was casting i fell my foot landed in my mates tackle tray it open so did his foot . so two of us plus one b52. would have been good to watch i was back wards big tows each treble he ripped mine out but would not let me return the favor
