The Bug House Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Had a fantastic evening in the canoe with a buddy and the fishing was great to boot. As we were heading in I landed a nice largemouth, and then proceeded to hook my hand something awful! Wound up in the ER, even with 2cc of Lidocaine, it was still a bugger to get out!

redkneck Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Sunk a crankbait deep in my finger too with an ER trip. Ruins a nice trip quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin R10 man Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Ouch..you lip grab him and he shook his head or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 yea i use eagle claw lazer sharp and gamakatsu hooks a lot. it doesn't take much for them to get into something deep. haven't gotten myself too bad to warrant an ER trip. hopefully it doesn't happen. makes you nervous when reaching for the fish and it shakes it's head good.

The Bug House Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 The treble hook had his mouth hooked shut pretty tight, I couldn't grab him by the jaw. Ouch..you lip grab him and he shook his head or what? But he did shake it right into my thumb!I used my leatherman to clip the hook rings off to free it up so I could unhook the fish. At least we were heading out anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ouch....that had to hurt...never have hooked myself. Came close once.....I was using a Rapala J-7, fish blew up on it, I jerked, J-7 flies back on a b-line to my face, I throw up my hand with the rod in it and the J-7 hits the cork handle.

speedjunkiejp Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I've hooked myself in the hand with a 10/0 before getting it loose from a Wahoo. It hurt like a ..... But I fed it the rest of the way through, cut the barb and kept fishing. Not a whole lot you can do 40 miles out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I fed it the rest of the way through, cut the barb and kept fishing. Not a whole lot you can do 40 miles out. Spent a lot of time offshore for Tuna/Shark etc..... Always thought about that in the back of my mind. Thankfully never got hurt to bad out that far... Gotta say, I'm glad I got it taken out.. it's healing really nicely and no infections.
