Thank You

[lil sac mitch]

I would like to say thank you to the people that helped me tonight after I got hurt at orleans. It looks like I will be fishing one handed for awhile..As for my report the whites were really hugging the bottom and taking pearl colored jigs. I managed to catch 12 nice females and one walleye before I had to go to the E.R.

Thanks again guys

What happened?

[Bill Butts]

OMG, that sounds serious!!!

Like Phil, fellow fishermen are anxious to know what happened.

Oh, and who cleaned all those fish?

[Wayne SW/MO]

I hope it wasn't a slip when cleaning those fish!

Thank you for the concern. I was getting out of my kayak to measure a walleye and I fell and dislocated my shoulder and tore muscles and ligaments all down my arm, but I will be fine, and I plan on takin out a long crappie pole and tryin to catch some whites one handed this evening. And as for the fish that I cought, I gave them to a gentleman who took my kayak and gear back to my truck for me.

[Bill Butts]

Wow, that was a nasty fall!!

You sure have a great attitude toward the unfortunate situation.

Great that someone was nearby to help.

Look forward to hearing about catching Whites on your cane pole.

Tonight I managed to do pretty good by bouncing marabou jigs off of the bottom of a small feeder creek where the current wasn't as swift as the main river.

[Bill Butts]

That's really cool, you must have an incredible hunger for catching fish!

How's the shoulder and what is the healing time for such an injury?

[lil sac mitch]

Ya, there is nothing I enjoy more than having a rod in my hand with a fish on the end. I am supposed to be in a sling for four to six weeks but I am doing alot of excersises so I can hopefully go without it for short periods of time to fish. I am going tonight as well and I will post my report soon.

If you can swap handle sides on your spinning reel you could use your good arm for the rod and just wind with the lame one.
