floridaswimb8er Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 I became a super hero last week. I live in Fl but have 18 acres in NC. I was there the last 2 weeks getting my cabin set up. While walking around my 2 acre pond that I caught plenty of bass out of, I noticed someone had lost a bobber. As I bent down to pick it up out of the water, a tip of a small branch went directly into my ear.....past the wax plug and into my brain(not really but it felt like it). I essentially gave myself a lobotomy. It was really painful. Then I got to thinking about how Spiderman got bit by a spider and viola.......I am certain this is going to give me some kind of special power. So now, with tree DNA in my brain, I am waiting to figure out the extent of my newly acquired powers. So far laying completely still in bed for 8 to 10 hrs a night seems to be one of them. I took a couple of pucks in a non padded area in a recent ice hockey game without so much as a bruise, so maybe I am developing a bark like protection. I hope I can translate this to swimbaits. I've always had the ability to "leave" after telling a bad joke. But seriously, that hurt, be careful of your surroundings. If it happened on my home waters, I would have laid down and been eaten by a family of rabid otters or a gator in the time it took me to get my wits back. My wife heard me say "Holy F" and she was like a half mile away when it happened. Mason, JeremyW, doublezman and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sage words - you could easily ruin a hard-won swimbait outing by injuring yourself if you're not aware of your surroundings, especially at night!

Easy to go in the drink...and I cant swim. I slipped many times walking along rip rap shores only paying attention to the water. Tackle would meet rocks on the way down.

gradycodd Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I stepped on a goose nest on accident fishing the bank and got into a brawl with momma goose and ended up getting legally banned from a city park. Throughout the court system and fines I realized that watching your surrounding is pretty important yup. floridaswimb8er and waynem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
