That looks awesome.

it happened july 15, 2009 and it still looks like hell i get a pic up tomorrow of how it looks now

Can you fish on week days?

Question: What do you do with the stinger if you catch a ray and cut the stinger off? Do you guys normally throw it back into the water or dispose of it a certain way to avoid further accidents, possibly by someone else?

If I am on a pier I will throw it in the nearest trash can, if I am surf fishing I throw it in the back of my truck. Wouldn't want to throw it back in the water and step on that bad boy later.

here it is today bro almost 5 years later....still hurts and gives me problems but at least i can still kick a pig when i need to

New Gulf, I know how painful and slow healing those types of leg injuries are. I got 2nd and 3rd degree burns on both my legs 5 years ago in the same spot your wound is located. I could not walk for months and it took a few years for the pain to go away. I feel for you, because there is nothing more painful than a lower leg injury. Glad you are doing better.

I hate sting rays. Got hit in the big toe four years ago toe is still not right.

Looks worse than getting shot! Ouch

I know a guy who managed to shoot himself about the same spot with a .45. It healed much faster and left a much smaller scar....

Think I'll stick with the dangers on a slippery jetty and give up surf fishing.

yep! my leg is still numb from the wound all the way down to my foot....cant feel a dang thing and when i'm out at the barn or in the pasture ive got to really pay attention cuz the fireants will tear me up cuz i cant feel anything on my lower leg and foot

a few year ago my we were visiting some family in thailand. My father inlaw and i were fishing for fresh water rays in the rive by our house. he hooked in to one about 150lb or one of the guys who was helping us bring it to shore got hit on the upper leg he was in the hospital for 3 month they is nothing they can really do for them but man are they fun to catchI

I wonder how high up the leg the big ones usually reach with their stinger. You know, in other words do most stingray leggings go up high enough?

I hate stingrays.
