I got mauled by a shark

[yellowslayer13]

I had the weirdest exp with a smooth hound shark yesterday.
he acted like a mako chasing calico bass to the boat and then against my best efforts I hooked him, got bit and stabbed when he came in the boat.

I do not havew a camra but I will explain where you feel the bone in your thumb it is where I got shanked and being I was a dumb arse and not wearing deck boots i got a gash across the top of the foot. The hand is worse as it was paralell to the bone about 1 1/2'' deep. the opening of the wound is decieving and I think it is infected only about 1/4'' wide I am stupid but I know have two shark stories.

 

[90sShooter]

OUCH!

 

[smoothsailor]

I hate that Shark's Hole!!!

 

[tamphuong]

Yeah . Picture is thousand of words.

Have you gone to get that puncture wound looked at? Don't mess with an injury that deep from that kind predicament. I am not medically schooled but thats what I hear.
And if you're going to be injured, a fishing injury makes the most sense to me...... compared to breaking both legs on a dirt bike....now thats STUPID.... Good Luck.

wow i heard there was a shark in santa monica yesterday maybe the same one?

 

[reefpeep2004]

I bet they'll have to amputate.

Can we call you 9 fingers?

 

[Lagger]

You should've clubbed him before bringing him on deck.........not sure why you didnt cut line unless he was a baby?

 

[Jadams]

WOW!!! That sucks....Any pics? hahaha jk

 

[Frankysreef]

what did you expect?

It is a shark..

I had a blue try to take off my hand once...

I had a 7 foot mako spool me after looking at me...

Big threshers once too

I dont like any animal that can take off my hand.

A nice barracuda can take off your finger.

Ok I went to the doc's and he said it pumctured the flesh and did not hit any thing important. =) I do not even mess with bludgining the makos I just shoot them :uzi: It was a relitivly non threatining shark but this one was concious that he was big. They are trash fish and I commonly lean over and pull them abord by the tail to take the hook out

Let them be...

Noone needs 100lbs of shark meat.

 

[yellowslayer13]

Makos are a hella fun to catch
