Alex Cirabisi Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 holy crap i know where your coming from man. i was in a little 12ft aluminum boat with the father inlaw, i got out a lipless crank with teble hooks and well.. if you ever wear netted material basketball shorts.. treble hooks are horrid to remove from them.. i ended up taking my shorts off in the boat and then i got frustrated and pulled as hard as i could on land to remove it and 3 barbs went into my finger.. so even more frustrated i just yanked them.. ended up with stitches. needless to say everything that had treble hooks now have a single hook... by the way hope the finger heels up good and i'll try the barbless hooks.

hatrix Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Think of it as ocupational hazard, I´ve been hooked several times, worst one was when accidentaly the fish slipped from my hand hooked me in the tumb and there I was with a jumpy 3 pounder firmly attached to my thumb. I had the same thing happen to me once with a rapala stick bait. I caught about a 3# on the back hook (it has 3 hooks) went to unhook the fish and it slipped. The top hook burried it self in my thumb and then it started shaking around hanging in mid air by my thumb and from the shaking the middle hook also hooked part of my hand. The hook came out of my thumb alright because it shaking ripped a huge hole in it. Quote
