cavalierowner Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 NEVER try to break a chunk of ice off the blade of an auger even when wearing gloves!! I cut myself pretty good this morning. I didn't even notice I had cut myself because my hands were a little cold; all of a sudden I see something on the floor and it's blood. So a little electricians tape and some kleenex, and I'm back to fishing. As they say: any fishing trip with just minor injuries is a good trip!

cavalierowner Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Evidently I'm not allowed to refer to myself as an id**t in the subject so it was changed by someone LOL!! But that's what I was, an idi*t!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishersofmen Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Bummer. I almost cut my fingers off with an electric fillet knife yesterday. Went to remove the blades and forgot it was plugged in and hit the trigger......no blood this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofishfisherman Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Just let a little blood drip into the water, you never know it might start a feeding frenzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavalierowner Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 What's fishing without a little blood? That's what I thought too. But you should have heard my wife when I came home with a finger wrapped with electricians tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishersofmen Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 My boss cut the tip of his finger off several years ago in the shop at his house. I went in the next day and his wife came out pleading with me to get him to go to the doctor because he had it wrapped in duck tape after almost blacking out. After talking him into going I went to look on the shop floor and there it was........the tip of his finger with finger nail and all. Needless to say he's got one finger a bit shorter than the rest.

MNCPRGUY Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 My wife thinks I am accident prone. I personally think I just live on the dangerous side of life! I cut myself with the auger blade AND my filet knife last year! On a side note and a point of safety, I never go on a fishing trip without my cut-proof mesh glove. I have seen more than one fisherman filet his hand along with the fish! Tossing in the mesh glove is just as easy as a box of Band-Aids and a whole lot cheaper than a visit to the local ER for some fancy needle work!
