Long story short I'm lucky to be alive let alone fishing this year as back in February I had a very bad work accident got hit with overhaul ball on crane broke 5 vertebrae and a pile of other bones including left foot and right ankle. Although I am not a religious person at all I feel I have been rewarded for working hard with therapy to recover from the surgery's and going through physical therapy and being in a hospital for 21 days. So far I have a 4.75 and a 5.39 for my two biggest so far this year as well as one other one over 4 and quite a few in the 3# range.

 

 

Almost forgot to add these are Ohio fish 

Wow glad you’re back at it! Nice fish, I haven’t caught a largemouth anywhere near that big this year 

Wow, you and @clayton86 should commiserate!  Nice fish, and glad you're on the mend.

Hit by a F150 while on the job.  He's been back out fishing too.

Woahhh **** don't know if I would rather get hit by truck or the wrecking ball that hit me! Regardless modern medicine and surgeries are pretty good,two big rods and bunch of screws in my back and two plates and pile of screws in left foot and hours worth of rehab I'll be good as something when I'm healed haha

Both your guys' stories are miracles.  Glad you're back at it!
