Ouch!!

Fishing is a contact sport:

This is an actual emergency room photo of a fisherman who lost control of his high-speed boat in West Virginia.
Wardens believe that he was travelling approximately 75 mph at the time of the accident. He was unable to negotiate a curve in the narrow waterway.
Unfortunately for him, upon striking the shoreline and being ejected from the boat, he landed bottom end first on an old fence post.
You can probably see from the picture what happened next, but the attached picture really says it all.

The good news is that after about 6 months, this man made a full recovery after suffering a shattered hip, broken leg, several broken ribs, internal injuries and soft tissue damage.

Doctors credited his recovery to the fact that the post lodged itself so tightly that there was little or no blood loss. Now that's got to hurt!!!


See picture attached (but take a deep breath first and hold on.)
