The “Pain” of giving!

LOL!!!!!!!!

Ouch, it sounds like your nephew learned some very good lessons. Hope your thumb feels better. Was that trout even tastier after the ordeal?LOL

Had a similar experience, (as I am sure many of you have) Last fall, the last good day to fish before the ice, I went out with my graduate assistant and we were catchin some northern’s. We were out about 5 mins. when I hooked into our first nice one. With no net I asked him to boat it which he did very nicely. He began to remove the rattle trap and literally as my mouth opened to say “lets grab the hemos” the nice pike did the usual shake and very nicely the trebles were out of the pikes mouth and deep and I mean DEEP into my GA’s finger. As I tried to decide what to do next I asked him if he would pull out the tape to measure my nice catch. Then to add insult to injury I asked him to take a picture as well, He gladly did with his left hand, (try that sometime) Anywho we then proceeded to the hospital where they kindly yanked it out. I figure we lost about 200+ casts that day! LOL. Lesson learned “take that few seconds to do it right!

Geeeeee…. some of you guys are REALLY hooked on fishing!!…. but I can see you really get the POINT!!

anyway… its much more fun to have the fish still hooked on the lure AND hooked to you at the same time….. try it sometime!… I know I have….. and there is some SERIOUS pain… heck it even shuts me up for a little while!…. (other than the occasional whimper!)

Ironically, that is how those impalement stories went….hook in fingure while the trout riggles hard, trying to shake loose!!! Nooooo Goood!!
