    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 ...more up, ripped it out with my pliers.

      @ 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...

      @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

    Agree of disagree, it really doesn't matter. I was a large contributor to content on this app when it first came out, but this is an issue that's just getting ...more too far out of hand. I'm tired of seeing

    1. David David 0
      All we can do is hope. I don't post many pictures here any more unless it's something I think is particularly worthy. But even then sometimes (often) I'm ...more wrong.

      Yeah, I've also noticed those pictures tend to stay in the popular section far longer than any other pictures... I dunno, wish they would fix it though.
    3. David David 0
      Aside from that, I feel like alot of the time I post on here my pictures hardly get seen amidst the female content as long as there's the draw of appearance ...more and promiscuity. @fishinfreely

      I agree. Yes, I am guilt of bikini pictures, but I live in Miami where it is always 90+ degrees and i am tired of having a farmers tan so i have been fishing in ...more bathing suits to avoid that.

      Catches because of the fact they're wearing more clothing or aren't showing off their bodies? This is FISHIGscout, and I think it's been steadily leaning ...more more towards the appearances of the anglers.
