Tooth Dr Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I agree with keeping a good wire (hook) cutter in the boat. Fortunately, to date, I have only had to use them to remove treble hooks from a big catfish. When I put the fish in the boat, the fish could not open it's mouth. Neither could I. Two of the hooks were in the top of the mouth and one hook in the lower jaw preventing the mouth from opening. Dr T Quote
Tooth Dr Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks for the pictures of the fish hooks in the hand and eye. A person in Guntersville was fishing with a friend that had a Bass on. The Bass came to the top and slung the lure. The lure hooked the guy in the eye. He was taken to Birmingham to have the hook removed. Fortunately, he was able to keep his eye and his vision. Again, thanks for the reminder to wear eye protection. Dr T Quote
DawsonH Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 HOLY SHAT that almost makes me scared to fish. Knock on wood I've never got one past the barb in any part of me. Although I did get about an inch of a sewing needle in my big toe once, the eye end first. Not the same though...those don't have barbs. Quote
