TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM

glad you found it before it got infected box, take care of it, although it may not seem like a big deal, clean it frequently, keep it covered and use a quality triple action antibiotic!

although we dont have b-liners up this way, i have had many an issue with butterfish bone splinters during chunking expeditions, OUCH!

Thats not good, hope it didn't change the little one's mind 'bout fishing.

He took great pride in his 5 year old mind doing a Bill Dance hook set with only 1'-2' of line below the surface instantly pulling the fish out and hitting his mom in the thigh. She was standing close for an ACTION KODAK MOMENT.

Ouch! Just be glad it popped out so soon! I had one in for over before it finally came out.

Popped out like a turkey timer!

How about a #15 Tony spoon thru the index finger knuckle. The only thing that made it worse was the fact that I had a chopper bluefish, about 20 lbs, on the hook also and he decided to start eating my finger while I was stuck on the hook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7 hours later and surgery and I was OK to go...

Hahaha ... LMAO I know it wasnt funny at the time but sure makes a great story. A hungry blue is a crazy damn fish. I have been too close to the business end of those bad boys one too many times.
