Yesterday I was wade fishing in the surf and got bit by some fish and need yalls help to identify it.
Here is the story, I was in the process of rebaiting my hook. So I was pulling in the bait bucket but my stringer of fish was also wrapped around the bait bucket. When I pulled out a piece of cut mullet (here was my mistake) I put that hand down and used the other hand to close the lid. It was at this moment I got bitten, I’m not sure if he was just going for the cut bait in my hand, but he missed and nailed me on my knee. The fish felt like he was a foot and a half to two foot long. I have two small cuts on my knee about ¾” long and about 1 ½” away from each other. One cut is just a scrape and the second cut is pretty deep that caused a good deal of bleeding.
Second question, what should I do about it?
Thanks guys and gals.
Philip
