I even stapled it shut myself. I can't stand waiting at the emergency room or paying the bill.

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 :chuckle:
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 :chuckle:
fishing is dangerous! who knew :dunno:

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.

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.

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.

I have another story too, but it is more embarrassing. That hook is still stuck in me after 20 years. :o

My buddy had his front teeth knocked out when the guy next to him hooked up on a snag. The guy backed up pulling his line back and the hook must have straightened out and the lead came flying back!

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.
All but one of mine (too many to count) were due to the same client help. Can't really blame them as they are just excited. But dang if you don't want to smack'em upside the head afterward :chuckle: Back in the days of the Abe & Al flashers we got a good number of facial lacerations each year too. Customers would ask why we called them dodgers? :chuckle: The response was always good for a laugh. My worst was having a gaff hook put all the way through my calf by a client that decided he was going to help me get a big salmon shark on board. He runs across the deck, slips and drives it in just below the knee and out mid calf. Well, at least the customer wasn't hurt ;)
All good fun! Wouldn't trade those days for nothing. At least I ended my fishing days with all my fingers. That's something about 50% of they guys I worked with can not say.
