We ve all been in this situation. You wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, or maybe you check on the little ones to make sure they re sleeping well etc. and then ouch! you step on that piece of glass that you thought was all swept up.

Krista tells us that after a one year hiatus (thanks COVID), she was able to get back out on the water and snag and release a paddlefish.
