waterfowler_gal Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 So yesterday we were fishing all day (northern-walleye-bass).... My roommate got her shadrap stuck in some weeds-she gave it a good tug and it flew out of the water-hooked me right in the thigh.... So would you go get a tenaceshot (don't know how to spell it)... They went down to the bars-not to bad-but still... What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Re: Yesterday\'s Mishap Go and get a tetnus shot. We had a friend's dad who got teribbly sick from a hook that stuck him in the hand. There are lot's of unhealthy little buggers that live in lakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Re: Yesterday\'s Mishap Well i get hooked by clients about 5 times a summer(guiding is dangerous work i tell ya ) Chances are you got a tetanus shot in school(we do here at least) and they claim you are covered for 10 years. Supposedly it is a good idea to get a booster if you get stuck, but i figure I must have built up a tolerance or immunity by now. Right? Personally I wouldn't worry about it, but I have to go...my jaw is feeling kind of stiff, and my neck is twitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Re: Yesterday\'s Mishap Go get one then you are safe and covered for the next 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Re: Yesterday\'s Mishap Tetanus shot would be the way to go if you haven't had one in the last ten years. I had an old boyfriend who was tying a hook on and his hand slipped and he buried the hook in his bottom lip. We had to go to the emergency room. No joke. The doc stuck a needle in to deaden it and cut the barb then pushed it through. I almost passed out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Re: Yesterday\'s Mishap If you haven't had one in a while it's probably a good idea to get one. That sounds painful. I was running to my car once with a small crankbait in my hand and it snagged my pants and burried in my finger. I iced it up and pulled in out. My dad stuck our neighbor with a crank once too. We pushed it threw and cut it. That was rough to see. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Re: Yesterday\'s Mishap i'd get a shot, just to be safe! i've only got a hook in me past the barb once... i was fishing with a chrome Big-O, and i got a little dinky northern, the REAL fiesty ones! anyways, i wrapped my hand around it, and of course it flopped and then the hook caught me, and the fish was hanging off my hand! i didnt want to go to the hospital, because i am so dang stubborn, so i took the pliers, closed my eyes and gave it a good tug, it came out!

Guest TBryan Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Re: Yesterday\'s Mishap Id get one just to be on the safe side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Yesterday\'s Mishap You had one in by 8th grade if you went to public school: I just got a booster 2 years ago, after a nail went in my foot......If you are over 24 (Which you aren't) you need a booster....go in, get it done now...you will be good for 10 years. It is an inexpensive shot (30-50 bucks).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Re: Yesterday\'s Mishap Yup. Go for the shot. It will help or atleast protect you just incase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palssonater Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Re: Yesterday\'s Mishap It's amazing how many flying crankbaits you gotta duck under when your hitting the weeds. I would say get the shot. Fish often? It won't be the last hook! I was fishing witha buddy who was trying to cast a bobber rig(the jig head is about 4ft below the bobber) and he caught the back of his head pretty bad. Being a big tuff guy it was hilarious to him and I. He let some line out....I cut the line and took him to the hospital for a shot, a bad haircut and some sticthes. Man that day still makes me laugh.
