Almost lost a thumb fishing ...

Cut it out?? I think I'd have just opted for some pliers and a hard jerk over cutting it out, especially in the middle of your thumb. 

 

Line method, push it through and cut it, or ER are the only options I consider.

Glad it turned out ok. I saw on Bassmaster when KVD got a treble in his finger. They popped it out with the braid trick. Everyone should know how to do this but it does take a buddy to help.

 

Someone else sent me that link, looks like it isn't kevin's first time getting a hook janked out.

Did a drop of pee come out?

Coulda happened when it went in or when your buddy went to work with the razor. 

 

No sir, dry as a bone.  Unfortunatley, I've been in several motorcycle wrecks that has cost me more skin that I can remember so all in all; it hurt but not pee on myself hurt.

After 5 times, I hope that you realized by now that you need fishing insurance. 

 

 

Stopped using baits with treble hooks.  Now fish almost all plastics.

I saw Scott Martin using this method on a kid in one of his videos.  Looked like the kid was going to pass out!
