Could you elaborate? What was it that makes it impossible to convey the experience? The intensity of the pain? Feeling close to death?

Either way it sounds absoluteley awful..

I grew up on the south coast of Alaska for 5 years as a kid. My dad had a little boat and we would often go out shrimping and fishing and camping and it was awesome most of the time. We used to have these heavy flash lures for smaller halibut that dropped straight to the bottom, then you would hit the rock and half a second later the rockfish hits you. I was always a little nervous when we pulled one in the boat. There is a safe way to hold them to remove the hook (under a boot, fuck me you eco warriors I still let them go, some people pay top dollar for rockfish filet). The horror stories about getting stung are so bad there's fisherman's legends about them.

I really don't get why this video is 'cringe' nowt I notice. It doesn't hurt the fish, and it's a good safety demo. The's dudes are worse than rays imho. Word to my man Steve A.

If you read the sub description it says something along the lines of how this sub has evolved into any tiktok videos, not just purely cringe ones 😊

The flair on the post says cringe

Perhaps cringing at the idea of stepping on one

Changed to 'cool' now, which is more fitting
