The fish that ate my hand saved my life
May 2007427 bass, 10 over 30,67 over 20.
Memorial Day 2007. 21 bass over 20#'s in 5 hours.
I fished Friday, Sunday and Monday. Caught so many fish I forgot to drink enough booze to keep me stable. Emergency room 10pm Monday night, Tenanus shot, x-rays, remove dorsal fin and a ton of antibiotics.
I started getting the getting the shakes.
Had no idea what was happening. Thought I was nervous. Thought it was all the crackheads around me in the ER.
No, it was me the drunk. Day 2 no booze. I never drink when I fish.
I am taking a break and getting my life back together.
I have been very fortunate. I have a great partner, a fantastic family and a successful business. Now I have to fix my problem of the last 25 years.
My hands are shaking. But the fat-man has sung, booze is outa here!!
I will be back soon and ready to rock-n roll.
