Talk about JUNK pain, my uncle kept his boat down in Naple, Fl. He and his buddies went out one day 25 miles off shore to do some grouper fishing. A storm kicked up some 4-6 foot waves and they decided to head back in and try again the next day. One of his fishing buddies slipped while trying to pull in the anchor and lanced his sack with one of the cleats.
Took over an hour to get back to the marina with a bag of ice on his torn bag. He spent 2 days in the hospital... I'll have to ask how long it was before he went fishing again.
