I got done by a small yellow striped catty in the foot while netting in redcliffe reached down to pull it out and got the spike from the other side of the head in the fingers.
I lasted 4 hours in agony at home b4 bitin the bullet and drivin to hospital, now i wear shoes when netting.
a few years ago now we had about a 50kg black come over the transom. brushed the arm of the tagmen and its bill went through his cheek and down into his throat. as he got hit he was knocked backwards and opened his head on the opposite side on the light tackle table rod holder. had entry and exit wounds as if he had been speared right through the head. The hardest thing for him and his wife was convincing the staff at the hospital that he had been speared by a fish they had to be shown a picture on a shirt to understand the fish had a bill etc.
on the weekend while castnetting for live bait, i hit a school of Scad and managed to prick my fingers. Gee's it was a painfull 2 hours i suffered while my deckie and boy laughed all nite. I was temped to throw them off the boat at one time.
Why are people so unkind?
My uncle was out fishing for bass with his 5-6 yr old daughter well they were getting a few, and he hooked a small one so he handed the rod to the daughter to bring in and she started winding flatout as kids do....... we all was good to the fish got off next to the boat and the lurer flys out of the water and a treble goes straight through his footy shorts and into his nut sack, with the kid still winding like crazy !!!!
He had to drive back to the car and put the boat on and drive home before heading to the hospital, he said the worst part was listening to the kid cry all the way home as she wanted to stay and fish more ......
I can still see the look on his face when his wife made him tell us the story !!
I guess you have all seen this email going around.
the father made her hang around for some happy snaps before she went off to the hospital for 51 stitchs.

Not exactly from a fish but It was from the boat trailer while getting ready to go!!!!
In short while hooking the trailer up to the car the trailer ran away and smashed into the back of the ute while i still had my hand in the handle of the coupling, which happened to be the exact same height as the underside of the ute tray.... didnt get my fingers out in time and it cut them off like a guillotine!!!!
