I sliced my finger with the sharp knife instead . Marligator steered the good ship Strayliner back to Tauranga where I received 11 stitches to my forefinger. By midday we were on our way back to Mayor.The funniest part of this incident was later in the day Marligator had a choice of two of rods that had fish screaming out line . Marligator picked the rod that had a very large barracouta on it. I wound in on his other rod a 9 kg snapper that earnt third prize overall !!Justice I say!! |

I then reach in whilst tying up some knots to get the knot cutter and voila ! a finger that looks like a freshly sharpened pencil. My wife must think im clumsy. If im about to leave on a fishing trip she will run out the door to ask me if i have remembered to take the steri strips lol. Worst ever near accident that would have made internet boating/fishing sites go ooooh, for sure ? Was camping at Port Jackson and holding a 7 metre boat off the beach so extended family could board their boat and not beach it. Stern facing the beach. Was hot so was wearing trousers. Waist deep and everyone on board, about to let go when all the people at the back moved forward. Stern rises and trousers hook onto a bolt head. Outboard starts up and off they go. With me still attached and one leg each side of a very large outboard yelling my head off. Luckily trousers rip about 3 seconds later and im free. 3 Very long intense seconds. swim back to beach and stand up to assess damage. Large scalloped cuts all the up both pants legs from ankle to mid thigh. Just an elevated heart rate physically otherwise though. Still gives me the ****s thinking about it. All my outboards have had prop guards since.

I was whipping some loops on my saltwater fly lines and working with superglue. Fiddly little job to just add literally a spot to lines - opened tube with teeth to keep both hands free......yep......job done and go to put the glue back into cap still in my mouth....miss completely and end up squirting superglue onto my lips that join. Wild panic........ripped lips......blood everywhere. NO! No pictures. |
