Not quite sure what category this belongs in but I think I did something to my lower ab (about an inch below my navel and to the right) while trying to haul in a 30 lb cobia a month ago on the Chesapeake.
I was not using a harness or belt so the rod butt was jabbing into my ab for about 15 min. Bruise showed up the next day but is healing but I still feel some internal pain especially when I run or try to do core.
I don't think I ruptured a kidney or anything but this seems like a long healing process....
Anyone experienced this or have any advice? Thanks
