Been Hooked? (Caution Pics Attached)

[Thefisherman83]

Well its been a while for me, but my buddies kid got me good this weekend, screwing around and not paying attention.  Got a nice Nightmare jig buried past the barb in my chin, hurt like a SOB pushing it through to clip the barb  .  I know I'm not the only one, lets hear it.  Post pictures if you have em. 

First picture is leaving the river, second is after I pushed it through.

That made me hurt.....ouch.

  Ouch, that sucks! Lucky you didn't get it in the eye!

I stuck a oyster knife into my hand while opening oysters.
I even stapled it shut myself. I can't stand waiting at the emergency room or paying the bill.

friend of mine got a snag - I turned around to see what was going on just in time for the snag to jump out of the water and zing right into my nose.   Was like slow motion seeing that spinner zing towards me, but I couldn't move out the way

wasn't too bad, it did sink past the barb on one treble, but the hooks were small so I yanked it out and bled like crazy from the end of my nose 


Kids stuck three fingers together once,  I was unhooking a treble from some boat carpet when he decided to trip and stumble in the boat and yanked the line through my fingers,  so I had three trebles one for each finger and they were all stuck together 


fishing is dangerous!  who knew

When I was a teen me and my brother were fishing. He got his lure stuck in some lily pads and started jerking on it to get it out. It got out already and flew back and hooked my eye lid. I'm just lucky I shut my eye in time.

  We walked back to where my dad was(about a half mile away) with my brother carrying the pole attached to my eye. That was a day of fishing I will never forget.

I've seen plenty of kids who look like they fell face-first in a tackle box (with all sorts of medieval-looking metalic objects hanging out of their eyebrows and ears). This takes it to a new level!

OUCH! Please tell me you are up to date on your tetanus shot. Keep that one clean, not a good place for an infection.

Oh yeah, got in a fight with some sheet metal not too long ago.  They gave me one then.  I peroxided the crap out of it and wiped it all down with an alcahol pad, should be good.

as a child i remember watching my father fly fish.  so being 5 or 6 i thought hey i can do that.  so i tried to "fly fish" with my spinning rod and wouldnt you know it i managed to get the hook in my head!!!  well 45 minute ride to the hospital in Meteline (sp) Falls the good folks at the hospital managed to cut the hook and get it out.  needless to say i still have no interest in fly fishing.  i also never fish without wearing a hat.

Had a client in AK decide he was going to "help" me get the hook out of pinger halibut by lifting it out of the water just as I reached out for the leader. Of course the hook tore out and the rod acted like a sling shot throwing the 24 oz sinker up at warp speed and burying this 10/0 Gamakatsu J-Hook straight into the bicep. Hook point ended up in a main nerve, made my whole arm go numb and seize up everytime i would turn my wrist. It was a long boat ride back to town! Clients earned their keep by pulling the anchor and filleting the fish on the ride in.

Ahh crap, lol made me cringe, Had wayyy to many close encounters getting smashed with weights while salmon fishing and pulling snags. Luckily no hooks yet -Fingers Crossed-
Got hit so hard in the chest with a half oz weight one year I felt like id been shot, layed me right out on the ground. Lost my breath. Took a nice smoke break to say the least.

No pics but a great story.
Trout fishing almost 20 years ago on a little lake with a bunch of friends from work. Just relaxing drowning power bait on size 18 trebles.  One guy in the group is Tim. Meanest toughest guy I knew. Also a body builder so muscles on top of the tough guy attitude.  He lifts a little 10 inch rainbow out of the water it shakes off the hook and sinks it into his calf. I was surprised it could even penetrate the muscle. 2 minutes later and this big bada$$ tough guy is pale and pukey. Lmao! He wants us too leave and take him to the ER.  We are all laughing so hard we are almost in tears because he wants the ER for a size 18 treble. We finally calm him down, ice it up, and pull it out backwards(ouch) with plyers. He went and found a shade tree afterward and went to sleep. Lmao.  Still makes me laugh.

On a personal note, hot albacore bite and I'm swinging in nice 15 to 20 pound albies on feathers with typical large double tuna hooks. Go to unhook one that is hooked outside the mouth and he gets the 1 exposed hook into the meaty part of my palm below my thumb and starts the tuna shake with the hook in my hand.  Brought me to my knees but he tore the wound enough so the hook pulled out  fairly easily. Duct tape and 2 Tylenol and we finishhed the day fishing with 23 tuna and 1 very sore hand.
