Not really sure. Only way I'd catch a lobster is in a trap.
I don't put my body in the ocean anymore. Me and my wife came very close to a bad situation with a Tiger shark in Hawaii.

I have a perforated eardrum from bodysurfing the shorebreak at pipeline and now I can't go underwater

I went fishing last friday but it was blazing hot so I didn't really give it my best try and ended up leaving early and getting a chorizo burrito on the way home
I had a reverse block when scuba diving at around 80'. Nothing I did would clear it & on the (tortuous) way up it burst. Talk about vertigo! I followed bubbles. It healed & never bothered me again but that was SCARY!

I would think anything that looks like a salmon smolt would get hammered.

Agreed. They were just next level aggressive today. I was catching them in 2-3 feet of water.
The pattern was them cornering baitfish in small coves when the tide was going out. Water is receding and the bait fish are pushed into the stripers. I had a field day. I lost 2 mondos that either of them landed would have made the rest look pitiful by comparison.

Going fishing for flounder and plaice this weekend, can’t believe I’m 33 years old and lost thousands of swivels beads and crimps before I learned how to tie a paternoster using only mono (no hardware) for fishing rough ground. Hopefully have some pics come Monday

I tore my knee last winter and am just getting to 100 percent so I feel for you. Good luck with the healing process.
Ouch, did you have surgery?

I just made it to the ER yesterday lmao. Tore it on the 4th. Ortho appointment is on Monday.
I heard the muscle tear. It is easily the most unsettling thing I have ever heard

I'm going to paint the full picture here.
I had taken my 7 month pregnant wife kayaking before she could no longer do it.
I had both mine and my wife's kayaks at the water edge which was about 150 feet away from where I could unload them off of the car.
I put my car up in a parking spot up a hill. Coming down the hill I stepped the wrong way and heard my calf tear with a loud pop. Between the sound and the Searing pain I knew I had torn the muscle in my calf.
So now I have two kayaks at the waterfront and the choice of either going back up this hill and trying to deal with putting the kayaks back on the car or hobble back to The Kayaks and get in and go fishing. I opted to get in and go fishing.
We stayed out for about an hour and then went back to face the fact that I had to deal with getting these kayaks back to the car and on top of the car. Again my wife is 7 months pregnant so she can't help.
When people say mind over matter or where there's a will there's a way that's not a joke. That's exactly what needed to happen here and that's exactly what I did. I put my mind over matter I tucked the pain very far away in the corner of my brain and I did what needed to be done. I got myself my wife and my kayaks safely back to the house and then still had to remove them from the top of the car and hang them on the wall.
The worst part about this whole ordeal was I didn't even catch a fish

NO FISH!! OMG that's the worst. I'm glad you're seeing the orthopod Monday. Keep it above your heart as much as you can and take care of yourself
