I got to Otay early and was ready to fish as soon as it opened. As I pushed my float tube down the launch ramp, and into the water my feet slipped on the greasy algae, and I fell over backwards landing on my back and elbow. A guy named Joe saw me fall and kindly came over to help me up.
My shoulder and neck were protesting, but I figured I was already there, so I might as well fish. I fished for about 3 hours and managed 7 before my body couldn't take anymore. Nothing over 2 lbs. Would have been more fun, but even reeling in clones actually hurt.
I Spent all morning getting X-rays and CT scans because this morning I couldn't raise my arm or turn my head. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up too bad. Waiting for the doctor as I type this.
Anyways, watch that slippery algae out there, it'll reach out and get you when you least expect it.

Yes, glad it was not your head that you hit. Who said fishing is not a dangerous sport.
Heal up soon. The SD Lake budget is already in trouble and without you fishing it will crash in weeks=D
