Torn ACL bass fishing - 04/05/22 01:58 AM
Just so this may save someone else from the injury.
I fished KCKL and caught a 4.88 around 9:00 , we decided to weigh the fish in the 9-10 hour, got to the weigh in at 9:58. I generously filled a weigh bag put the fish in got to the from of my partners Skeeter and I needed to jump a couple feet to hit dry land. I jumped knee popped , “down goes Frazier” . I knew I screwed it up bad I couldn’t get up on my own. Very little pain so I took some advil and we fished the rest of the day. I got a small check but dadgum I wished I would have got my feet wet.
Hopefully this saves another older guy (I’m 50) from a similar injury.
Surgery is done and I’m ok , will just be a lengthy recovery.
Hope y’all Whack em this year
