Sphynx Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Managed to hook up on one pound and a bit or so fish tonight, and he proceeded to bury one of the points on a 1/2oz Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap in my arm, one of the nice EWG style thick ones, be careful boys and girls, removing those is not a pleasant experience. Other than that the river has been a grind with the barometric pressure changing the last few days, but I've pulled a couple solid fish out, couple nice jig fish and this guy tonight, hopefully things settle down a bit tomorrow and we get back to normal. 2 Quote

Super User DitchPanda Posted July 29, 2021 Super User Posted July 29, 2021 Got a jerk bait hook stuck in my finger at home several months back. Past the barb and no way to push it thru. So I yanked it out which wasn't to bad honestly. Now having my girlfriend take the hook off the bait with my split rings pliers was quite an experience. At one point I told her if you twist the hook in my finger one more time I'm gonna stick one in your finger and wrench on it! I just think she was kinda worried/freaked out. After she took a deep breath and calmed down it went fine. Quote

Yeah, this one was a push through, so the most obnoxious bit was having to cut up a brand new treble, but I have had ones in the past that were far less pleasant, I have to admit that taking newer anglers fishing I tend to steer them away from treble baits for just this reason, had more than my share of these sorts of things and I don't especially enjoy it.
