My nephew walked away from his two rods that he had in the water and the one rod almost went down the hole.I was running toward the hole about 20 yards away from me to save the rod and when I tried to stop I went down hard on my left side,needless to say the 6 inches of ice didn't giveway but my rib did!Your right about the pain,I thought my hernia painful this is 10 times worse.
