Ouch sorry to hear it.
I'd like to hear more about trot lines and jug lines and your style of fishing sometime. We were in SW Va/WVa/DC for the past week and whenever I saw fishermen I asked what they were fishing for and how. My best story is guys fishing in the Tidal Basin near the Jefferson Memorial, and as I was walking up to ask them, one of them reeled in a 25lb catfish! I think it was a blue cat, I haven't seen many of them, and they didn't know either. It wasn't a flathead, I do know that.
