Re: A Picture Says a Thousand Words

Yeah, that picture doesn't say a thousand words, it only says one to me #%&@!!!!<br /><br />I was removing a Husky Jerk out of a 22" striper and one of the trebles got me. Barb buried. So there I was screaming "kill the fish, kill the fish" because every time he moved the pain was excruciating. Pushed the barb out, cut it off and backed it out...I have since learned the fold the hook and use a piece of string to pull it out trick.

Two of my buddies and I was out fishing one day, I was in the back of the boat, one was in front and the other was in the middle of a 20' ranger. The one in front have a bad habit of wipping his rod while casting. He had a big Rapala jerk bait tied on, the rear and middle treble hooks were embedded in my buddy head that was the middle of the boat. I've never laugh so hard while fishing, we had to pulled the boat out of the water and went find a clinic in the middle of nowhere to have the hooks surgically remove from my buddy head.

I heard a story from my in-laws about a certain female who as a teenager somehow ended up being taken to the hospital with a lure dangling from her nose. I ain't telling who. :D

Re: A Picture Says a Thousand Words

OK, I must tell this one here. I saw earlier in this post someone caught their dog. I have one better. I caught my dog too. Here it is.<br />I was not in a boat, bank fishing in the pond behind our house when I was a kid about 13. I was using a bobber fishing shallow. The dog decided he wanted to "fetch" the bobber after a cast and splashed out to where the bobber was floating. To keep him from chomping the bobber I gave the rod a tug. Bobber pulled in away from the dog, only problem was the dog was straddeling the line. Bobber went between his legs dragging the hook behind. When the hook got to the rear legs I saw the dog jump and turn in a hurry. It was at that time I realized I had hooked the dog.....right in the scrotum! First I was upset that I hooked the dog. I got the dog out of the water and felt really really bad about where I had hooked the dog. As I was trying to snip the end off of the hook and remove it I noted how this must look to the outside world. The dog would not lay down, but would stand in front of me facing away.
