queensland Big mac tuna and a busted leg

[Funfisher]

Hey guys

A few weeks back i spent a few days up north chasing some fish with a few mates.

We caught many various reefys and spent a lot of time mucking around with big

mac tuna casting pretty much everything at them and having a laugh. The trip

was cut short when we were hiking to a spot to do a bit of land based game and

I slipped on a bad angle and long story short busted my leg good and propper.

It was fun waiting a good 24 hours with out pain killers till we got home and

i finaly got to the hospital. So i have been sitting on my ass reading everyone

elses reports for the last three weeks and not being able to fish at all myself..

this would have to be the longest i have not fished in at least ten years and its

driving me nuts!

And the carnage..

cheers

Tristan

Sorry to hear about your leg mate, hope you have a speedy recovery so you can get back ouut and get rid of the no fishing DTs...

[aussie123]

Were you up there with Shane C

[Binder]

Gunna love you at airport check ins!

You need to go fishing on some dams with Ray, the leg will stand up to that.

[Funfisher]

Were you up there with Shane C

No mate i wasn't.

[Damien2Rad]

No good about the leg mate.

At least you got onto some good fish before you did the damage.

What area is this in?

[ellicat]

Get up ya sook ! That's why you have two bones down there

Looks painful. 24 hours - you can have that !

Hope it all heals according to plan and you're back out there a week early

Oh man fishing has been red hot lately too !!hahahah

Broken bones are no fun at all.

Get stuck into the Calcium and vitamin D tabs and get some MSM Joint Formula... Wagner make a good one in powered form... Lemon flavour.

I have had lots of broken bones and very rarely suffer from pain because i take these things.

When it comes to walking, non impact load will help the bone knit properly,

Get on an exercise bike.

Good luck and enjoy the break.

.....

Good luck and enjoy the break.

:S No pun intended ? :silly:

Get into trolling more fun than fishing and gives the mods something to do.

Seriously get well soon.

You will get used to doing a mini strip at the airports.

Wear crocs and place them in the xray machine with your hand luggsge and dont wear a belt its a lot easier than having to take your shoes off and wobble around holding up your dacks.

Cheers

Hey guys a big thanks for all the well wishes and good advice and damian we were fishing in 1770

[crazywalrus]

wow that is a good break. I feel for you I shattered the top of my arm 5 weeks ago and I only had 3 hours without pain killers, 24 hours would have killed.

Nice fish btw

[bootyinblue]

Sounds like you need to take a break from fishing... its not all its cracked up to be anyway.

Great looking pic there, and the fish aint bad too. Dont be too alarmed when the cast and brace comes off and you dont even recognise the skinny leg underneath, the muscle tone comes back pretty quick.

[Stevodevo]

OUCH!! That's gotta hurt,sorry about your anckle, hope it heals well.

I know what it's like not to go fishing for a while I haven't been for 12 weeks because my wife had an operation

[coughy]

sorry about the leg m8

never had a break so i cant tell about the pain but

wow nice fish there..

what is the second ugly fish you have there

looks like it would pull the line of like no tomorow speeded looking and are those big chompers in its mouth???

[Funfisher]

Cheers lads and coughy its a big longtom but it had no chance of pulling any line on the gear i was using :evil:
