Talked to one of the guys that was out there (Chris) and also saw The Iron Man yesterday at The Edge (saltwater).
Dave (Chris' brother), the worst off was just put in a cast from his crotch to his ankle. Broken knee cap and he is laid up for quite some time. His new Arra 1205 snapped like a toothpick and ripped some guides off it. His brand new VanStall Sivler 250 is destoyed. At the moment it is unusable and they are sending it back to VS in hopes of repair. Total gear damage $700 dollar custom rod, $600 dollar reel, both down the crapper!
Iron Mike had some cuts on his hands and forearms. He has the biggest bruise I think I have ever seen. It starts from right above his left knee and goes up to his waist. It's not black and blue, its BLACK and NASTY! He's limping around, but he says he is still fishing. Although I can tell he's not 100% yet. I had to walk across the street for him to get him his medication / blood thinners to prevent blood clots. NOTHING LIKE A 12 PACK OF BUD!
