Worst Surfcasting Injuries

[Grampa Greg]

Sup guys!!!
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted on the relationship thread I started.

Guys, I am very well aware of the risks and hazards involved in surfcasting. I frequently get banged up when I'm wet suiting around boulders in bigger surf. Thankfully (knock on wood) that's been the extent of my injuries with only one doctors visit required (crushed my "fat pad of Hoffa" within my knee after coming down on it full force when stepping off a rock into some moving water).
I am curious of the worst injuries you guys have experienced or witnessed.

What happened?
Were you hospitalized?
Fractures?
Sprains/Strains?
Unconscious?
When animals attack? Close calls?
Drowning witnessed? Almost drowned?

Would love to hear your stories!
