mrlitetackle Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Well, today's trip got cut short to say the least!!!! My pal and i went out to cape canaveral to do some surf fishing, but it didn't work out in his favor. We had been wade fishing the coast for only about 15 min. when he hooked into something...... that something ended up being a very large sting ray (about 9-10#'s from my estimate)... It was really odd because the ray came up to the surface to feed on a mirr-o-lure. Any way, he was trying to get the hook out when this happened............ it ruined both our days, but his was much worse Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted June 8, 2009 Super User Posted June 8, 2009 Man that about as bad as it gets. May have to have surgery to fix that. Tell us what happened, did you take it out or did he end up in the ER. Quote
mrlitetackle Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 we got to the VA clinic (he's ex military) at about 12pm, and didn't leave until about 5 45pm. Its was quite an ordeal. When we were both in high school, about 11 yrs ago, i did the same thing while fishing with him. I got the treble of the largest size yo-zuri stuck into my pointer as well.... The whole time he was laughing at me, and heckling me "oh, how could you do that you idiot!!!" He was also saying "just push it through yourself you pansi!!!" ........well needless to say i returned the favor today to him... after laughing endlessly at him i told him the same, "just push it through yourself you pansi!!!!" well today he understood it..........he said "No freakin way man, you weren't lying.....theres no way im pushing this through myself!!!!" 11 yrs down the road, and i got my revenge.

Super User SirSnookalot Posted June 9, 2009 Super User Posted June 9, 2009 That one is nasty! I had a similar one last year in my thumb, worst part was the shot of novocaine, not to mention the 5 hour wait in emergency. Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Ouch that sucks. Glad to hear he's all fixed up now and hopefully you guys can head out again soon Quote
bass wrangler569 Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I had a treble hook on a crankbait go almost the whole way through my big toe. I knew some guys who had horror stories about getting hooks removed at hospitals so I got a pair of needlenose pliers, closed my eyes, and ripped it out. I couldn't walk right for a week. Quote
JellyMan Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I put one in the meat of my chin by my ankle. It was pooring rain and had to get out of the boat so I ripped it out without thinking. Alot of horrible aching but was fine. Quote
