pretty sore but golf ball went away. it kinda looked like a fly on steroids. when we used to head back to the boat ramp up in new york, you had to go 5 mph in the canals. the green head horse flies would eat you alive. they would bite right through your wetsuit. very painfull bite. if you tried to hurry through the canals, the bay constable and the undercover police boat would nail you.
