I got fish shanked today.

i call bullsheit on that.. tequilla takes care of it and i can't imagine that at 114 degrees.

I was talking to Dr Kevin Barret from the utmb ER. He said 114 degree water breaks the protein down that's causing the pain. Just for reference, a hot tub is about 103.

Yes, in fact right through the black label on the front.

Dang Brandon......sorry to hear about your misfortune. Glad to hear you're better, bro. Here's a pic of mine. Got them at Armor R Us.

I was waiting on you John , I figured you'd have some sage advice as usual! Between those and the barbie pole Jeremy is always trying to put in my hand I'll be "interpretive art" fishing.

Beware of ray guards! I was hit through the ray guards 2 years ago! I was wearing the calf high shin guards and it went through. It probably would have been worse without them, but those boots are not 100% fail proof.

I've been wondering about that, so right through the front part of the guard?

That's why I own a boat. No worries about stingrays, sharks, or rock crabs.

termo I didn't think you and Harvey ever got out of the boat.

We don't.....we're to old and fat to get back IN!

[Silver Wolf]

WOW. Hate to hear that. That's a nasty cut. Glad you're OK. Take care my friend. Will be praying for a speedy recovery. Lord Bless.

Those are the boots he tries to talk Harvey in to wearing!! "Hey Harvey put these boots on and hop out right here....I'll be there in a second"!!!

I have something like that on my knee, was a kid with sister racing in the surf, I knelt down, thought I found a beer bottle, dad
said Nope, you knelt on the tail of a ray and when it swam off it cut you like a razor.
Wife got a small jab few summers ago and the hot water was the trick. Hope you get well soon
