RE: I Got Stung by What Killed Steve Irwin

in #stringray7 years ago

Happy B-day Luke and I'm glad you're allgood! Gettin' hit by one is no joke especially the bigger one's. I used to do lots of surf fishing back in the day and I can't tell you how strange it feels to step on one as it skirts out from under you. I remember hooking into a large one and fighting it for a while before cutting the line as it just got to be pointless. It had to be a large one and felt like I was fighting and reeling in Poseidon's biggest ocean soaked towel of all time. After a half hour or so it felt suctioned to the bottom and was barely movable hence cutting the line. Get better brother and Happy New Year to you and yours!

Thank you. Feeling way better today. I'm glad I was able to get it into hot water quickly. Also very glad it was a small one. :)
