Man attacked by spangled emperor
Submitted by Faulkner Family on Mon, 2021-05-24 18:40
Went down for a swim in c b . Sitting down to put my flippers on and a big spanglie came up and bit my damn toe twice. But due to not being able to prove which one caused the injury the rangers refuse to cull the suspected culprit

Long tom
Would have been worse if it was a long tom - been there and done that when I lived in Exmouth yonks ago.
