Well I went to my fav lake at about noon, put my boat in the water, parked my truck, came back down, stepped over a retaining chain (attempted to) Got my left foot over and on solid concrete, lifted my right foot but, (not high enough) The chain is about 2 foot above the concrete, then my hulking frame came crashing down, landing on my left knee and left arm. No road rash, but I almost passed out from the pain. I have a low tolerance to burning type of pain. Which was the type of pain in my knee. I can't straighten or bend my left arm like I used to (hurts like he**) and my left knee and right hip hurt too. I refused ambulance call, just dizzy and hyperventillating a bit, nauseated, cold sweating profusely, it was only 60 degrees out. I am gonna be really stiff in the morning. Guess what? After about 2 hours, I was ready to fish, and fish I did! I caught a total of 8 bass, the biggest about 2 1/2 pounds, (no pics) So since I was not feeling up to par, I anchored my boat and still fished for awhile (have pic) I got out a can of corn and chummed a spot, then threaded several pieces on my hook and waited. Didn't have to wait long. 'Ol Mr. Buglemouth grabbed my hook and took me for a 20 minute ride. Since I only had my small handnet, I pulled up anchor and motored over to the land fishing area, and a kind fisherman with a bigger net landed my catch for me, then I got out onto land and took a pic of Mr. Buglemouth bass........NGE P.S. he weighed in at 20lbs.
