Ten years ago on a Bonefish trip with Sauerkraut to the Acklins (out islands of Bahamas), with any access to a medical clinic several days away, I used a conch to beat a 28 lb barracuda flopping in a tiny skiff dead. Put a spike into the web between my first and second finger. Big, deep, bloody hole. I'd brought a medical kit with some sutures. Using his fishing pliers, Sauerkraut sewed me up at the little lodge's kitchen table.
