Thanks, Pat, for the above link. A good short read.
I know those bigger cats usually have worn down spikes and the one that got me probably wasn't all that sharp. Between me clamping down on him with my legs while trying to save a finger is probably what led to the "war wound". Ennyway, I survived, but probably not any smarter.
Jeff -- Sure hope you make it out again and find some of those big ones. I have the solution to your not-enough-fishing time: Retire. I highly recommend it. It is nice to be able to go fishin' any time you want to and more time on the water will usually translate to more and bigger fish. Try it, you'll like it. Too many bills and obligations you say?? Yeah, that can be an anchor... but when the time comes when you can grab a couple of g-kids and fish any time you want, all the years of labor make it worth it and then some.
Good luck,
Lynn
