stories- how you hooked yourself bad

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Worst ever I was snelling a hook for a fluke rig.The line slipped and drove a 4/0 hook straight into my thumb.Barb was buried in the meat and the point was pointing at the nail so I couldnt push it through.I pulled back on it as hard as I could and sawed above the barb with a razor blade till it popped out.Man did that hurt!
 
I didnt get hooked, but...there was one time at a lake when I was a kid, walking around to get to our spot with my dad and brother and there was this other family walking towards us. There was this little kid, about 6-9 I'd say, swinging his rod about like a sword. As we got closer the kid started to get more vigarous with his swinging, the lure came flying at me, hit me on the ear, the kid 'striked' with the rod and the I felt the hook of the lure get the back of my ear. Luckily it turns out the kids father had curled back the hook (so it was just a metal loop in effect). It still caught me pretty bad though, a full metal lure to the ear as a kid. Stupid kid, but atleast a semi-responsible father.
 
I was tying a uni with 50lbs on a owner laser hook 10 beers down and ran it strait though my lip while tightening hook down
 
my uncle was walking to a spot on the other end of the pier when he got hooked in the eyelid by a treble. hes okay but still.
 
Remember every body get a little pair of scissors and don't bite the line when tying hooks.. Even after what happened to me I still catch myself biting the line... It's just a lot faster.:grinno:
 
when i was 12 somehow hooked myself while casting and got it in the finger, just yanked it out as it wasnt that deep.
this past summer was on a boat fishing, putting on a worm, hit a wave, and once again the hook went into my hand instead.
 
when i was younger, my brother and i went fishing for with those little popper things. i went for a cast and caught him in the calf. it went all the way through to his muscle i think. we had to take him to the hospital cause we weren't sure how to get it out.

one time i caught a striped bass about 5 pounds. caught him with a top water lure.. zara spook i believe. well, while trying to take off the lure the striper suddenly shook around and i caught me right in the hand with one of the trebles... so here i was getting jacked around by a striper cause the lure was now attached to the meat of my hand and the frailing fish, instincts (or pain please go away adrenaline) immediately kicked in i put my hand on the floor, stepped on the fish, grabbed a big rock with the other hand and continuously beat on the fishes head between his eyes til it was dead. i drove home with the hook in my hand. pushed it through all the way cut off the tip and pulled it back through.

then i ate the sucker.
 
When I was younger, my mom, dad, little brother and I went out fishing on our boat. My brother was fishin off the bow. He was like 5 at the time and was using a Mickey Mouse push button real and still had trouble casting. When he goes to cast he forgets to push the button so the bait just swings in a big arc. The hook ends up going through his belly-button. It scarred him so bad he just stood there silent, but when he realized what happened he started screaming. It was easy to take out since it went all the way through. To this day he has a little dot where the hook went through.
