Geez
I don't feel so bad now after reading your travails.
Two pair of waders
Repair two automatic FWD hubs
One very expensive fly rod falling from truck
Thier is almost a start to a sub culture in this post of ruin and lost fishing gear.

One permanent, scary looking scar on my elbow.
Besides that, a very easy season. No broken gear which is remarkable considering the 75 foot flume ride I took that resulted in that scar.
I think I lost a year or two off my life though in one mad scramble up a near vertical, craggy rock face while retreating from an incoming wave that may well have killed me. I've NEVER simply stopped fishing and walked home thankful to be alive before due to being spooked by a wave. My fishing partner said he'd never seen anyone move that fast before. 
A weird year for me. Prior to this one I have an almost flawless safety record. Broke more gear in the past though. |

Sounds like a average year to me, I got away with only going thru 2 pairs of waders, and 1 rod tip, a couple of needle fish plugs

Lesse,
One fall busted lami, two bone chips in each elbow...that still hurt every day.
Cut head, hurt knee so bad I couldn't really walk for a week.
Heabutts at the TFCTFN, dented bumper, 4 wheel so screwy that the Avalanche would start out in 4L every time I started the truck.
Locked Mikey's keys in the Cherokee on the beach during one of the most torrential rain storms I've ever been in.
Grappling on the beach with Mikey led to two permanent scars.
Seagull bite on right hand that got close to gangrenous (not so bad).
All for one keeper 30".
I think my pride is scarred the deepest of anything.
Later,
Rick
