KyakR Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Went happily to a little local pond with clear water to practice with a Sammy and other topwaters. There are lots of bass all over the place. Threw a skitterpop at the end of the day and bam! I thought I had a big 'un! Well, I did, kinda.....pulled it up and there were two bass on the pop! I was so astonished I held them up by the lure. After I released the first one, you guessed it....the other flopped and drove the treble deep into my finger. I'll only put the pic of the two fish on here, not the one of my finger. At the ER they numbed it and dug it out. And I'm getting it with the Sammy! All in all a good day. Quote
CayMar Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Doubles are awesome. Weren't you asking for advice on fishing the Sammy? Looks like you have it figured out to me. Nice job! Hope your hand heals quickly. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted September 13, 2013 BassResource.com Administrator Posted September 13, 2013 OUCH!! Man that bites. Love doubles...but a hook in the finger...yikes! That's the #1 reason why I always use pliers with treble hooks. Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted September 13, 2013 Super User Posted September 13, 2013 Cool catch! Sucks about your finger. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 13, 2013 Super User Posted September 13, 2013 Nice pic. Hope you are able to get right back at it. Quote
Big-O Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Cool on the Double but sux on the finger hook stuff... part of Fishin, huh! Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted September 13, 2013 Super User Posted September 13, 2013 Nice! I have still yet to catch a double! Sorry you got the finger, but it probably won't be the last time! Keep at em! Jeff Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted September 13, 2013 Super User Posted September 13, 2013 Sounds like a triple for the sammy. I always use a boga and pliers with trebles. Nice to see you figured out the sammy. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Sorry to hear that. Cool on the double though. I hope your back to fishing! Quote
Dyerbassman Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Nice job! You'll be back at it in no time. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted September 13, 2013 Super User Posted September 13, 2013 You opened up a Twix Quote
KyakR Posted September 15, 2013 Author Posted September 15, 2013 Thanks! Bought pliers yesterday Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 16, 2013 Global Moderator Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks for not posting the pics of the hook in your finger. I've seen a lot of things and not much bothers me anymore, but the hook in finger shot still makes me squirm. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted September 16, 2013 Super User Posted September 16, 2013 Glad to hear there were no infections or complications. Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted September 16, 2013 Super User Posted September 16, 2013 Ouch.....to this day when using rattle trap style baits I get funny sensations when I hear that rattletrap noise when a bass shakes his head by the boat. Afraid ... yes ... very afraid. Had a couple experiences like yours with lures and hands. Tight Lines Quote
