    Had a real scary mishap years ago salmon fishing in the Waitaki river. Hooked a salmon and was walking along a bank about 2 metres above the river when the bank gave way and i went straight into the main stream of the river. Luckily it was near the end of a run and got shallow about 20 metres downstream. By that stage my waders were full of water and i could hardly move. Cut the line with my knife and just dragged myself out which was quite an effort. Just lay there on the stones thinking how fuckin lucky i was. Always tied the tops of my waders with some baleing twine after that. Never been so scared before or since.
    Another time had a mishap while whitebaiting down the mouth of the waitaki. Anyone who knows those stoney river mouths will no doubt know about the waves that wash behind you. All you feel is the stones going out from under your feet as you head into the water. Managed to throw my net around to the next fisher who grabbed hold of it to stop me going in. Scary, but not as bad as falling in.

    Pic #8 at the start of this thread is a hair rig used in course fishing, mainly for carp. The irony is that it is also known as the Self hooking rig It worked !!

    Thatwould bring tears to your eyes and make your butt clench all at the same time.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
