Yup. Tangled with a coupla those out workin with a shrimper I used to hang around with. Nasty l’il bass turds. They call’em “double-enders” around here.

I know a fellow that had to have reconstructive surgery for his toes, specifically his left big toe and the next one to it.

He foolishly tried to sweep away a pile of freshly caught marine life with his sandal-clad foot and got walloped by a Mantis Shrimp.

At first, it was thought a small shark or barracuda had bitten him, but...

I saw the wound after treatment and it looked like he'd been pounded with a 5 lb hammer.

Truly nasty little creatures.

The kid was never too bright and had been warned more than once about sticking his feet into the net dump, but he had to learn the hard way.

He later had a cartoon shrimp holding up a boxing glove tattooed on his ankle.

It matched the stupid tweety bird he had on his neck, I guess.
