when fishing alone in corroboree billabong Darwin one morning a few years ago caught a catfish while trolling.lifted it into the boat and it fell off the hook and one of the pectoral spikes went through my overalls "was a cold winters morning" and in beaded in my calf muscle, was quite an intense burning pain, but luckily i used to carry panadine forte with me so popped a cpl and carried on fishing.had a numb left toe for several months after that, apparently caused by a severed a nerve to my toe according to the doctor
