Impaled by a homicidal fish!

I figure I’d better warn everyone about the homicidal fish swimming around with a chip on their shoulder. Glad the little dude made it, and at least he will have an epic story and a really cool scar!

Yikes, I got hooked up past a Barb one time and thought that was rough!

I just got done with my WFR class with 15 others. I was the only one who hunted or fished. They were fascinated by this. Since we share weird medical injuries, I got this in my inbox a dozen times yesterday...

Amazing this guy made it.

Clearly didn’t penetrate his skull. But dang! Ouch!

@406LIFE what is WFR class?

@wyoboypt Agreed, I’m always curious why the news media tries to hype something like this that is already sensationalIn its own right? And also the fact that these fish have successfully speared and killed two other people blows my mind!

This is why I don't believe in Catch 'n' Release. Every trout I club in the head saves a life. It's a matter of self-defense.

That's gonna leave a mark.
