Fish bones don't count.

Story to follow?

Well Bk, I typically have a low tolerance for risk, but when I have Mr. Lunker on the line - it's all out - do what it takes to get the baby into the boat.  I was fishing for stripers in Lake Mojave, got a huge strike, fought the fish for awhile, then the fish got snagged on to some rocks.  While making some silly maneuvers for a better position in the boat to get the fish out of the snag, a freaking good size wave snuck up on me and caught me off balance.  I was still focused on the fish but not where I was placing my left foot, which I dropped directly into the water, causing my right foot, which was firmly anchored on the boat, to twist in such a manner and force where I ended up with a damn near 90 deg dislocation and some broken bones. And then while falling into the water, I hit the rocky wall where I was fishing and fractured my left arm. 

 

Two months later, after my recovery, and on my very next fishing trip, I got bit by a sidewinder while walking the shoreline.

 

Oh, by the way, that maneuver you see on TV where the cowboy who dislocates his ankle  and then wedges his foot between two fixed points and  jerks upwards to relocate his ankle is BS!  That sht don't work!

 

So anybody want to go fishin' with me?  BK?
