It's funny how some ER personnel get freaked out by
fishing hooks.

I've driven some rather large hooks through my hand and
one time, put a 6/0 right through my left thigh.

That hurt.


Posted a picture overthere as to why you should always wear eye protection
while fishing. As to fishhooks in ya. Tady with a large treble. One
treble hook point in the forearm, another in a 20" undersized lingcod. By
myself in the boat. Finally got the fish off without killing it and finally
cut the big hook so I could pull it though the rest of the way. Since then
I bought cutters that will easily cut any hook aboard the boat.


Damn, CB! I really needed that at 7:20 on this fine morning!

My nephew, when 10 years old, got a hook through his thumb right at the
edge of the thumbnail. We couldn't pull it back, because the barb was in
the flesh, so we iced it down, waited a few minutes, and then I pushed the
hook the rest of the way through his thumb. Luckily I carry a big pair of
cutter for just such an emergency and was able to cut the shank and pull
the hook the rest of the way out.

The little guy didn't cry once. A real brave little boy.
