20 years of EXTREMELY cautious fishing...my time has finally come. Took a treble hook to the lower back. Straight into the muscle, past the barb. Iced it down, numbed up, ripped it out with my pliers.

      @yakfish when you run out of options it's usually the painful ones that are left!

      Your welcome Buddy! Didn't mean to bust your chops about it. It's just thatt an ounce of prevention vs. well over a pound of cure, and one unnecessary day ...more off the water is one too many! Great fishing!

      @ shallow... Doesn't have to be rusty, that's a myth. Any wound can cause it without vaccination. Punctures such as yours are more prone as they are more ...more difficult to clean. Shot is not expensive.

      @Ben_Sanford I think so, but this was a brand new lure so the hooks were clean with no rust @Capt_Jack you betcha @HunterB thanks lol @MulletHead yeah, afterwards ...more I was told it would've cost $1200...

      Been there, did the same thing (thumb not back). same solution. Cred for not paying a clinic to do the same thing.

      @elkaholic good question. We were fishing a mangrove bank and my lure got stuck in the trees. I motored over there and pulled up on it, and it whipped around and ...more slung into my back. Freak accident

      Just out of curiosity, how exactly does a hook get stuck in your back?

      @SwampMafia that's right

      Fishing is more important than a little pain.
    23. David David 0
      @SwampMafia haha thanks! The park ranger out there told me to go to the hospital but there was no way I was losing my whole fishing trip

      Nicely done! Cred for being a man.

      @eastonsutley yeah, I knew it was coming just didn't think it would be there or that bad

      Ouch I feel you it's no fun. No matter how cautious and safe you try to be it's bound to happen one day.

      Went right back out on the water and continued to fish the rest of the day. Unbelievably painful experience
