I have fallen a few times very lucky to escape serious, need treatment injuries, except for whatever is rolling next to my right kneecap, no pain involved, so no m.d. involved. Buried a vmc treble deep into palm of left hand. The ten pound fish that was attached to the other treble hook, by the way do you guys know how much stretch there is in the fat part of your hand at the base of your thumb its amazing how much give there is in that area. Taking that hook out by pushing it all the way through, crimping the hook, and backing it out took some mettle out of me. Gun shy since that morning

I WAS SITTING ON AN EMBANKMENT TAKING A BREAK NEXT TO MY BRAND NEW POPPER WHEN I SAW A TOP WATER EXPLOSION 10 FEET FROM ME. AS I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP UP PUT MY HAND DOWN TO BALANCE MYSELF AND I SANK A NICE SHARP TREBLE AS FAR AS POSSIBLE (RITE TO THE WELD)
SAT BACK DOWN, DRANK A CPL OF BEERS, DOING THE CHEVY CHASE "THIS IS CRAZY-THIS IS CRAZY" THING TRYING TO BUILD UP THE COURAGE TO REMOVE.

HAD TO HAVE A "FRIEND" STEP ON MY HAND AND PULL OUT THE HOOK! I SWEAR IT LOOKED LIKE A CARTOON. HAD NO IDEA THAT THE HAND WILL STRETCH FARTHER THAN A MEDICAL GLOVE BEFORE GIVING.

NOT SURF FISHING BUT RUMOR HAS IT I BANGED MY SKULL OFF OF EVERY THING I WENT NEAR IN VT ICE FISHING OVER THE WINTER TOO.

I LOVE it when MY WIFE lets me fish

Just my ego, for me

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

witnessed many hooks in hands and other body parts.

I saw the one Johnny spoke of with new jack, not pretty and tough to do anything about. He is a trooper

I was there when Mikey tried to drown himself in the ferry toilet

That isn't a rumor. You put a nice dent in the ice with your head.

I've been pretty lucky with injuries. With the guys I fish with, being molested is usually my biggest concern.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
