About 10 years ago a group of us from this board got together for a friendly little musky tournament.

 

I'd never actually met my partner till the day of the tourney and 15 minutes after we started fishing he made a mighty 2 handed cast but forgot to hit the thumb bar, the bait swung around and he clubbed me in the back of the head with a 7" solid wood musky bait called a Wakemaker.

 

If you can imagine getting hit with a baseball bat, that's what it felt like and I saw stars for an hour. Luckily the big 7/0 hooks missed my scalp and the pain wasn't nearly as bad as you'd think.

 

He felt terrible...obviously...but it was an accident and within a few minutes we were laughing about it.

 

Best part though, was I went on to win the tourney and pocketed $50 for my troubles and that made it all worthwhile :lol:

I was on a fly in trip with 3 other buddies, one of them got stuck with a treble hook right into his thumb

behind the thumb nail, buried to the hilt.

I will never forget the sound of ripping tissue when we yanked the hook out with pliers

back at camp.

He had a few shots of liquid courage but he said it still hurt like h**l.

It was our last day in so we flew out the next day, thank goodness

we had a first aid kit with cleaning and disinfecting fluids.
