re: Outdoor injuries

We were moving some big fish from one floor chest to another a month or two ago. It was really smooth, but I wasn't. I picked up about a 40 pound cobia and went to step over the box, but someone slipped. I tend to not wear shoes out there (bad idea), so I ended up fracturing a toe and damn near peeling the nail off of it. It was not fun. Hobbling around on the boat for the rest of the trip was awkward, as well. Honestly, the worst part was worrying about flesh eating bacterias, so I ended up wrapping the toe up like a mummy.

It wasn't me, but a good friend's dad was nailed in an artery by a hardhead one time. It was frightening. His leg was squirting blood all over the boat.
