Next time you get a hook in your finger....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
WOW.
I got a treble caught in my back once and my buddy just yanked it out, I can't imagine what that guy must have been through.
Also, are bolt cutters a normal surgical tool? When I saw those I laughed a little.

That was my exact reply to the thread on another forum where I saw this!

I bet his calf was sore as crap for several weeks.

The story is, he was a shark fisherman (as you can tell by the hook) and he was yakking the bait out when he was dumped and some how the hook found its way in his calf. :eek:

I understand how he can get hooked because ive seen how they paddly the baits out with it resting in between their legs but 20/0 is just overkill. You go to PCB you seen them using 12/0 but not even on a whole bonito have i seen a 20/0.
 
OUCH! man that surgeon was brutal, hacking the guys calf up like that, must have hurt like hell.

He should have made 2 neat incisions strieght off the bat then clipped the top off the hook.

This is why i always squash the barbs down on all my lures and hooks with a pair of pliers that way if i do get hooked it will slide right out, also makes releasing fish allot easier.

Trying to yank a crank lure from being hooked on a log, I had the same happen. Only the hooks on my lure ended up buried into my side. Pretty embarrassing to show up to the emergency room with a lure hanging off your abdomen.
 
I once had a dog run through my line while I was baiting a hook. It went straight into my finger and pulled me a couple steps before tearing loose. Needless to say I was not happy with the dog.
I also knew a guy who somehow got a hook in his eye. He had to go to three ERs before anyone would touch it.
 
Mega hook lol. I have hooked myself several times. Best ever was when fly fishing in the cold, did not even know I had done it till the "Tree branch" I though I snagged traced the line back to my ear hahaha
 
Oh God....oh god no.
 
That was freaking brutal, I watched the whole thing. Man that makes my stab wound look like nothing.
