I should've been hurt on many occasions, but luckily nothing too serious. 2 years ago I was out on a rock in a NE wind with a building surf. I knew I should've got off, but I was doing well and tried to sneak in a few more casts. Saw a big wave approaching and I was screwed. Couldn't get off the rock or I would've been pinned. Tried to take it as best I could. Struck me hard in the chest and luckily dropped me to one knee on the same rock I was standing on. Was sure I re-tore my ACL. MY knee was completely numb and tingling. Once I knew it wasn't torn I still continued fishing. Again, should've got right off. Went back to my truck in pain but still wanted to fish another spot on the drop, but when I tried to take off my waders I couldn't because my knee was the size of a softball. Had a hematoma (sp). When the blood finally left my knee, my whole leg was black and blue from it dispersing. Didn't fish again that Fall....
