BillM Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 ............for taking this damn hook out of my finger on Sunday What was even cooler is that he was from Terrace BC, just recently moved here and is a hardcore fly fisherman. First thing he says is 'You should have been using barbless!', lol!!! Talked fishing for 15mins while the local took, then he cut the hook, pushed it through and I was all done. I also offered to take him out for some steelheading in the fall, he seemed super pumped (We exchanged contact info)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Fishing for pike with the oldman, hooked a OOS smallie 5 mins in. Had the bottom treble of the Rapala X-Rap buried right under it's head.. I couldn't lip it because it had the top set of trebles in it's mouth.. So I grabbed it behind the gills like I do pike. Popped the top set of hooks, started to work on the bottom and it went ape. Top hooks found my finger and 3lbs+ of him flopping around really dug it in there. So now I've got hook super deep into my finger and all I can do is hold the fish.. My Dad pulled the hooks out of the fish and got him back in the drink, then we had to remove the hook from the lure itself. That was fun After we got it out we ran back to the launch and dropped the truck/boat off at home. Drove to Orillia, in and out in about 30mins, back on the water by 10:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratherboutdoors Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 OOuch!!! 30 mins though.... next time I might run right by RVH to soldiers, extra 30 mins on the hwy but likely saved 4 hrs in emerg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely go to the hospital for emergency stuff. If I was in Barrie, I would have gone to a walk-in clinic. From my experiences it's a lot faster. But the staff at Orillia has me in and outta there in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercman Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Now i know why my buddy Mike had such a look of horror on his face as i tried to unhook the smallie i caught while fishing with him a couple weeks ago.Those things go ape when you try taking the hook out.

BillM Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Damn buddy! Just another reason why I hate Bass! LOL! I like that you took the time to get some shots of the mishap! Dirty bass! LOL! Really didn't hurt unless I touched it.. Best part was getting the hook caught on the bow rope while trying to put the boat on the trailer! I let out a few expletives when that happened.

capt bruce Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 LMAO MIKE. "This is awesome". Mike ,maybe stick to single hook fishing. B, singles stick just as good as trebles lol , thru a cheater out once and put a single siwash right thru my finger in one side fully out the other , thats what you get for fishing sharp hooks and not paying attention .. OUch Bill I know the feeling ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Not that getting "hooked" is ever good but I would imagine that close to the nail would be worse then most other areas of the hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 A good reminder that a pair of cutters are handy, even if you aren't musky fishing. Cutting the other points off that treble would've been a lot easire than sliding it off the split ring....plus you wouldn't have gotten such a good grip on the bowline at the launch I keep a small pair that I originally bought for downrigging, in case I ever had to cut the cable. So far, they've snipped 2 trebles and no cables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Put a hook in my finger while getting set up for a charter on Lake O once. Used the heavy line/ downward pressure on the hook eye yank trick. Worked mint and didn't miss a beat. Charter left the dock on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Jeeez Bill, that looks just plain nasty. Bad enough when it's in a hand but under the fingernail must have been alot tougher for the Doc to push thru ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
