those salt water fish often come equipped with a lot more number of sharp teeth than the fresh water variety. Something I was reminded of, once again, as I just automatically reached down to retrieve my hook from the fish jaw. Werent nothing but a flesh wound, I still have all ten of my counting fingers. I am pretty sure the missing part of one finger will grow back. 🙂
And while I await these PM markets to resolve which direction they want to take, I will try and resolve in my own mind if the fish are getting faster reflexes, or are mine slowing down. Seems like there was a huge gap between noticing a fish was chewing on my finger and I had the thought I might want to put some distance between my finger and his mouth. That is probably covered under the Laws of Retirement someplace.
