YIKES! I hope he is OK! Looks like he can still bend his!lol I've had a little pike squirm out of my hand and stick hooks in me and I've had a big pike thrash in the net in the boat and catch a piece of my leg!

he posted another shortly after, looks worse than the one above. he's gonna need a few stitches for sure.

I've always thought that this would happen to Ron James from FISH TV. His pike handling skills are atrocious.

I'm not a big fan of grabbing a pike from the gills with three trebles dangling from a fish's mouth.

 

Get well soon big fella, and please make sure you clean the blood stains on my future Skeeter

 

Cheers!
