Damn it! I hope I never get hit by one. I thought I stepped on one while fighting a speck last year in the surf but since I didn't get stung I figured it was likely a flounder. I definitely worry about them more than I do sharks. By the way nice catch. And that is some beautiful water! I wish we had water like that. Hell if we could just have the clean water we get after a few days of north wind that's the only kind of fishing I would do! Surf fishing is so fun. Looks like u were out in kayak too though. Been thinking of getting one so I can make it out to the rock breakers. Anyway good luck to u and take care of that hit. I have a cut from getting rocks in my shoes on my right foot just under my ankle and have been cleaning and babying the hell out of that thing. Spending months in a hospital dying with that flesh eating bacteria is not the way I want to go at all. Got a good warning about it before I even got to the beach then saw the signs and as soon as I get back had a Facebook post of a guy dying with it after getting a tattoo and swimming in the gulf 5 days later. Tight lines!
