Ouch. Hope it heels soon. Enter skipper for angler of the month there is a UA witness.  . Have had a treble buried in my foot and had to drive the boat 6kms back through surf and beach. Had to cut it out using knife on my leather man. So I feel your pain.

HD you are such a royal, but I know it to be true

Glad you are OK - and more importantly as you mentioned - as lesson for all to take from this - re- wearing glasses when popping / jigging..............

[Shaun17]

Hope you didn't get any blood on that UA shirt 


How long you down there for HP, maybe we can make up for lost time? I carry mini bolt cutters on the boat so you should hold out for a whole session.


Glad to hear you're ok bud, could have been a lot worse...

the best part is he was still wearing his Ultimate Jersey, and a smile.

Wiskers Brad!

Not the type of UA shirt promotion we want to see!!

Glad you are ok and hopefully no issues with the tendon.

[WJ]

Eesh that must have been sore.......but look on the bright side, you caught some fish and have a proper funny fishing story to tell at the next UA bash

They had to cut the dam sleeve off my shirt in the spirit of being from boksburg Im going to cut both sleeves off

Unfortunately only here till Friday though with this rain I might be swimming home

[Rory mundy]

hope you got a tetnis shot

Wear Glasses no matter what fishing you do, I once took one to the right temple, just beside the eye while Carp Fishing. Good thing I need glasses to see, so I always have mine on... hope the injury does not keep you away from fishing too much HP. Get well soon.

[Ettienne]

Eish Brad! I know the feeling. Luckily mine was a 6/o removed by male nurse at Lusikisiki Hospital
Good luck! Get Better and Tight lines for the rest of your holidays.

  Ouch! I am glad you are going to be OK. Shirts etc can be replaced but other body parts are difficult to grow back. Thumbs up to the charter company for paying the bills. 

[John F]

Sorry to hear about the incident Brad! Glad you're ok and nice to see you taking it in good spirits.

This will happen to anyone taking up on fishing.... sooner or later.... It's one of those things...

[Prego]

That must be a PB off Protea for sure 

Glad you ok Brad but its definitely a danger on the boat, sunnies are a must for sure and so too big bolt cutters. Maybe a good thing they did not have the big bolt cutters on board seeing as there was a tendon involved but it definitely helps in most cases as I experienced over Easter.

BTW I agree with Rory get that tetnis shot if you have not had one in the last year or 2.

[Half-Pint]

Yup got a tetanus shot. Dam thing hurts more than where the popper got stuck. Luckily that popper had just come out the box
