    Hey guys –

    Kinda a funny question but not really.

    I’ve gotten a few bad gashes from salmon and char, but they’ve all been pretty far from the heart.

    On a separate but related note, make sure you wash those cuts out thoroughly. Last year one of my buddies got slashed by a silver and he ended up getting a nasty infection. They caught it right before it would have been necessary to amputate. There’s a surprising amount of bacteria in a fish’s mouth.

    There is a lot of bacteria in the water as well.

    Gross, MM, I looked that stuff up and you are absolutely right; that would suck to contract.

    I’ve been scraped plenty (Mostly by Brookies), but never bitten.

    “Say, was you ever bit by a dead bee?…You know, you got to be careful of dead bees if you’re goin’ around barefooted, ’cause if you step on them they can sting you just as bad as if they was alive, especially if they was kind of mad when they got killed. I bet I been bit a hundred times that way.”
