Oh Yeah I remember that story, He was fishing out of Mass. Ended up taking off his hand, than arm, finally the bacteria killed him. They couldn't contain it fast enough. Poor guy.

Two years ago I had about a seven pounder catch my thumb knuckle between his top teeth and the jaws of my Boga while I was trying to get a jig out of his throat. Hurt like hell for about two weeks.

Every one I've caught since, that was hooked deep, met his maker cuz I now cut bloo till I meet hook.
