The best first aid for a minor cut is to rinse with clean (fresh)
water followed by a topical antibiotic.

That sounds like a great process for a desk rider who never actually
does much manual labor.

I get my share of skinned knuckles, nicks and scratches. No big
deal. A serious cut however deserves serious attention. I now quite
a few people who have been hospitalized from infections, several of
whom almost died, and one who did. As a general rule I try to always
wear leather work gloves when handling a fair sized fish.

Should have done that today. Couple spine holes taking the hanging bait
out of the crab pots.

Spines from what? The bait? What do you use?

Hanging bait is rockfish carcasses. What is left after someone filets the
fish. Works great in crab pots. I did OK, not a banner year. Scrapped
one of the older pots, and replaced it with a new Promar 30" pot. Nice
pot, not as good as a Cushman Crabkeeper. But will get a couple next trip
through Seattle, lost 2 pots last year, so down to 3 pots from my usual 5.
2 are square Danielson pots and for some reason they leaked crab this
year. A lot of current, so may not have enough door weight. Of the 6
Dungeness crab, 5 came from the Promar. Lots had stuffed pots, and full
limits of 10 per person. May scout out some new places to drop pots. 2
weeks before commercial season starts, so should be good crabbing for
awhile. Squid in the bait jars.

So the rockfish is what has spines?

All fish except sharks and sturgeon have spines. Spiny bones, spiny fins.
sculpin here on the west coast is one of the fish you are very careful not
to get a fin stick. They are part of the scorpion fish family, and you
will feel great pain for a couple days sometimes.

Sure, but most fish the spines just aren't prominent enough to do much.
