The start to my morning of fishing...

[bwhntr350]

 Not really a fishing topic.

 Anyone ever get a hook through the thumb or other bodily parts?

 Caught a 1 pound small mouth today and he shook just as I reached in for his lip.

 here is the result:


 Could not get the barb out, of course (did not even try) so had to push the hook all the way through:


 Then snipped it off, below the barb with my pliers, and then pulled the hook back out.

 First for me but I suppose that if you fish long enough, stuff like this happens, lol.

 I commend myself for having the foresight to take pictures so I could show everyone how stupid I was, haha.

 FISH ON!

The pics make me cringe!  My wife was sitting in the front of the canoe when she hooked me in the side when she swung back to cast, she gave it a good jerk before I wound my hand in the line and took the tension off and told her to quit pulling.  That cost me about 10 mins. of quality fishing time.

Did this to my little brother once.  I told him multiple times not to walk behind me when I was casting.  The bank was very narrow and he was new.  1st time I caught him in the sweatshirt hood.  The second time was his eyebrow.  Had to hold him down and yank it all the way through.  Then cut it off and pulled it back out. 

Little brother will fish out of the boat but isn't much on fishing from the bank anymore.   

Wussie!

Had one do the same thing, close to the boat, had some good tension on the line, it hit my right sunglass lens! Had just put them on 10 min before it happend.
I always wear my sunglasses now!

Twenty yrs ago fishing buoy 10, fishing was hot for silvers. I reached down to take the hooks out of a fish, ended up with a hook through my thumb. Raced to the docks at Illwaco, ran up to the local hardware store ask one of the employees for some sidecuts and cut the hook and pulled it through.Then stopped at the drug store got a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and cleaned the wound. Race back to the boat went back out and limited on silvers. Hardware employee thought we were crazy.

I have never been hooked bad like that but had a few stick. You did the smart thing. If you can always push them threw and cut them off.

Not always.  I still have one buried right above my knee from 20 years ago.

 Oh, I forgot, I did carry on with my day. After my set back I got back to fishing. About an hour later I got a 3.1 pound largemouth, and that was all the fish that I caught. A smallmouth, a largemouth and a loud mouth:)  (or at least the loud mouth's thumb)

A Steelhead did the same to me, thought i could pull it out and let it go while it was sitting there still, of course it flopped and hooked me.only the hook didnt go thru, it embedded thru my trig fingers knuckle, Deep!. 6 trys with pliers finally did it, i almost threw up and i think i passed out for abit. been fishing barbless ever since.

Last summer had a stinking little sheepshead in WI do that to me.  Tried and tried to push it through but it wouldn't budge.  Luckily got to the hospital during "urgent care" hours.  The doc had to slice the skin to push it through.   

This is just one side of the treble hook.  Of course my parents did not have a nice sidecutter to snip the hook off and had to use a pliers that I was barely able to get between the lure and my thumb.
