That’s one way to wake up @Little_Flatty!!😬
I have also been unlucky enough to feel the ‘volts’ from a Numb Ray.
Many years ago as a young tacker, I was spearfishing with an aluminium hand spear out the front of the jetty at Shoal Bay. I spotted something buried in the sand and given my inexperience, believed it to be a nice flathead.
I shot it and ended up with this strange blob looking thing on the end of the spear. Having never seen anything like it, I swam in to the jetty and climbed out on the lower platform to have a good look at it.
Well, that’s when the current hit me and wow did it hit! I had been shocked by electric fences in the past and this was at least as bad and possibly worse!
Needless to say I never speared anything again that I didn’t have a 100% id on and a valuable lesson was learnt that day 🤣
