Last night as I was laying in bed I had a really sharp pain shoot through my right wrist and hand. This happens every now and then and I blame it on old gaff wounds. Well after it subsided I got to thinking about the worst gaffing I ever took and about some of the worst I ever saw. I was stuck in both hands 13 times in a money fight at the North la pit one time. What's so ironic about this was I told the opposing handler as we was billing them up that when we handled to be careful cause I was putting a little Roundhead cock that was bad to the bone and he had a history of shuffling till the cows come home even as he was been held down during the handle. Well sure enuff first handle we both get to cocks at about same time but I made a mistake and the little Roundhead got just a little space went to shakein and was stabin me in the hands ever lick as I had hold of opposing cock. This was in 85 , but from time to time to m still reminded of it with a sharp pain. I think the worst one I ever saw that looked the most painful was to this big man that fought with Odell and Ronnie Craft. His name was Steve Hogsett. He was handlen one of Odells Roundheads and the Roundhead had gotten stung real good in the first pitting and as good bred fowl are apt to do his attitude toward every living moving creature turned evil. Steve sit him down and he instantly attacked . He cut Steve from his ankle all the way up to his butt cheeks where he finally hung upside down. He had hole in his ankle shin knee thigh and butt. I tell you what tthat's a tough man he acted as if nothing ever happened and went right back to taking care of his rooster. The most painful one I ever had was one to the top of my right foot that went all the way thru my foot. That shi* did for sure hurt. Anybody else have in thing they might like to add.
