danc Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Geez. Maybe we should open a new forum for these types of incidents? They don't seem to be that uncommon. Most of my fishing is done barbless. Something that you guys might want to consider??
whiskywizard Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 I'm an idiot. Slayer Is this a poll? What happened to the photo? I want to see the gore.

craigdritchie Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Dang Bill .... I'm not squeamish but that one under the fingernail just makes my hair stand on end. That's majorly nasty. Muskie fishing tomorrow .... sure hope I can avoid renewing my membership in this club. I have enough scars on my fingers as it is. Edited July 23, 2012 by Craig_Ritchie
whiskywizard Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Geez, Slayer, that's a nasty one. No way to push the hook through, and a good heavy hook too. That's going to smart for a few days.
dave524 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Ouch Every single spoon on my boat has a single stainless Siwash on it, less tangles in the box and net, most fish can be released boatside and a 66 % less chance of impaling oneself. Big thing I find less long distance releases midway through bringing it in. Only disadvantage is you sometimes brain or put an eye out on a shaker.
Pikeslayer Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Posted July 23, 2012 Get yourself a set of Knipex cutters Simon, you can easily cut any sized hook with one hand. Kinda spendy but well worth the $$$$ when your hung up with a thrashing fish on the other end of the lure and you need to get free in a hurry. Good advice. I'll have set on board before the next outing X2 You did it twice Terry? Geez, Slayer, that's a nasty one. No way to push the hook through, and a good heavy hook too. That's going to smart for a few days. Actually, I have to take the rest of the week off Whisky. Nice hook set Simon.

Just a dumb mistake on my part. The happy ending..

Bob I forgot all about that BB, thanks for posting! Had me and the kids hooting and hollering for a few minutes, hahaha We were having a family outing on Porters inlet this weekend and you guys wouldn't believe where my son ALMOST hooked himself with a 5" Rapala subwalk!!! First hour of the trip too, man am I glad he didnt actually get hooked, cause I'm sure it woulda required surgery and caused some mental issues... (for both of us) Edited July 24, 2012 by manitoubass2
