what will happen if you are not carefull!

i loved the nurses reaction, alright what are you here for... i got a nice cut on my thumb... okay let me have a look, HOLY S%#$!!!!! didnt need stitches but it cut into the first layer of skin to the meat.. just a little reminder to be carefull!!

[lakeshoremunster]

Holy cows batman

what were you doing to get that cut

was it from a knife or your auger

[nofishfisherman]

merely a flesh wound. Slap some duct tape on it and get back to the fish.

[Steve Foss]

Cuts happen. How was the fishing?

[Finlander]

That's why I put the blade protector on the blades right after

i'm done cutting holes! Too many cuts in the past to let that ruin my day anymore!

[croixflats]

SUPERGLUE! A ware/war wound to share cool! Cauterize that thing on the heater man before it gets out of control.

I took my kitchen knives into the Wusthof store in Nordeast Mpls today to get them sharpened and the guy that owns the place had a few band-aids on his fingers.

O man I have done that in the past, probably not on a cut that bad, but done it just the same. And I also used to carry black electrical tape in my Steelheader vest and patched a few nasty cuts that way. Just hate to waste a day of fishing especially if I have traveled a ways.

Rub some dirt on it!

"See my thumb? ....Gee you're dumb!"

Sorry B_L, somebody had to say it!

[minnbowhunter]

+2 on the Superglue, it stings for a min. but good to go after that. Always have a tube in the tacklebox

I had that same thing happen to me this year as I was getting ready to go to Mille Lacs for the evening bite and I decided to change my blades before I went as I thought I had some duller blades on.......well the bolt was on tight and as I was trying to loosen it up I thought I am going to cut myself I should cover that blade...then the man in me said keep going and slip I was now bleed like crazy on my thumb!!! After tracking blood throughout the house I bandaged it up grabbed a bunch of paper towels and more bandaids and went fishing....caught fish too!!! dealt with the cut all day and still it still stings in the area a month later but it is healed up!!!

[opsirc]

your suppose to use the auger to cut through the ice, not your hand.

[cold one sd]

A little fish slime and it will heal right up.

[tweedlap]

My thumb looks just like that..right now !

Stupid. Shut up and fish.

It does burn a little. I told myself..self if you are that

dumb..shut up and fish.

[icehousebob]

You young whippersnappers are all girliemen. Back in my day, you didn't stop fishing unless you cut off a major body part. And then only long enough to slap a hot iron on the wound. Does this make me sound old?

[Pleasant]

Super glue gets the cuts back together, I have also used electrical tape... Now snot rockets and hooks buried to the eye in my thumb that is a whole different subject LOL

[Scott M]

Gosh, I'm glad I'm not the only foolish one! I touched a blade one time a few years back...fishing was pretty good, so I cut up one of my towels, wrapped up the digit, covered it with electrical tape, and kept fishing. We were hole hopping outside. Later I got in the vehicle and headed home, wanted to warm up so I unwrapped things...as the feeling came back, it just throbbed in excruciating pain. I thought I had frostbite or did permanent damage, but luckily it went away.

[jeffreyd]

cut a toe off and that will not even bother you

[wplatehunter]

That sucks.

Superglue is awesome. Its hard to find but if you can find the superglue gel, it works even better. No more runny mess, and you can mound it up to get a great barrier.

[Rope]

Been there done that!
