Yesterday while unhooking a walleye from a crawler harness she decided to give me a taste of my own medicine

I've been poked many times, but this was the first time I've ever had the barb sink in

Wasn't fun getting it back out......but I'm grateful it wasn't a 2/0 hook LOL

Sucks when you have to push it all the way through. Had that happen once and hopefully only once

[CaptainMusky]

That hurts but I got ya beat. 40" musky hooked on one set of trebles while the other went through my finger point barb and all. No fun. 8 stitches later.

Have you had a tetanus shot lately? If not you should.

Don't know what's worse.....removing that hook....or having to admit it was a walleye that did it

[leech~~]

I buried a treble taking a pike off my sons line when trolling for Walleye's one evening. We tried for an hour to get it out or push it through. Ended up in the Emg room at about 11:00pm. As we waited in the waiting area, the nurse came up and asked if I was Steve with the hook in the left hand? Or Steve with the hook in the right hand?

I looked around the room to see another guy and his buddy sitting there with a big treble stuck in the palm of his hand and we gave each other the nod!

[Stick in Mud]

Yikes. Good to see you got it out without a trip to the doctor.

I got one stuck past the barb this summer. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The hook came out pretty easy and I kept fishing. I have since added a first aid kit to the boat.

Agreed. It looks like a rusty hook ya got there.

Watch this video on removing hooks. I got a large hook in my hand last year and used this method to remove it and it worked great

[hnd]

spent a day when the kids and wife were gone just fishing. early afternoon was picking off from shore a sauger every 10-15 minutes. sun starts to set and i just start hammering them. bigger ones with a few eyes mixed in. one finally screws me and imbeds a treble in teh same finger. after about 5 minutes of excruciating pain and messign with it, i get it out. went to try and fish after taping it with athletic tape and a napkin but it just kept pumping so i had to leave. was so [PoorWordUsage].

About a month ago I caught a 30"-32" Northern. I removed the main hook without a problem than I said to myself "I wonder where the trailer hook is hooked." The Northern thrashed went into the water and to my surprise I found the trailer hook.

Happened to me in the end of May, a Pike put a treble from an X-Rap through my palm next to where the thumb connects. The pike was hanging from my hand and the hook wouldn't come out of the mouth so I had to cut the hook connected to the pike first to release it. Pushed the barb back through the first time and the hook wasn't long enough to get the barb through and clip it, so I had to push it back in and then back out to where I could snip the barb off. This was the first fish of the morning, in a sit on top kayak nonetheless. I wasn't letting this ruin my day so I wrapped it up in electrical tape and fished the rest of the day. Electrical tape is all you need for a fishing first aid kit.

I always feel sorta like a jerk when I bring up the barbless hook issue. Last time a big pike stuck a hook in me was DECADES ago. Have had some sticks since then and they all just slide back out or come out with little fuss.

I know...I know.....you guys hate it when I preach.

But you really DON'T lose that many fish with barbless.

[CaptainMusky]

This isn't about preaching its about laughing at each other for out stupid hook in ourselves stories. Lol

That may encourage me to remove all trailer hooks from any lures I currently own and will own in the future

How do you think the Walleye feels about said hook?

Did you do an AIS inspection on that lure?

[Kettle]

Age 8 fishing on lake of the woods with my uncle and dad, watched my uncle go to bite his line like he always did on an ice rappala and he got a free lip piercing

Its actually not weeds you are seeing on the hook, its pieces of the net. I went to pull a pike out of the net and he started flopping and I couldn't pull my hand out quick enough. Ended up with the pike, rapala, net, and my arm all hooked together in one big cluster-f. Once I got the pike off, I cut the net to get that free from the trebles.

Ok hold up a second here - you were catching walleyes? Impossible...

Ouch on the hook, I'm just waiting for my day, I fish muskie enough it's not a matter of if but rather when. Had a close call a few years back, little northern on the line brought it in the boat to unhook fish started to thrash - hook from the big bucktail ends up in my shorts points all the through the fabric about 1" from getting an unwanted Prince Albert. Needless to say from the day on little northerns get the 11" pliers and shaken off over the water.

[bearberg]

Didn't expect this!!

[Sherpa]

Yep, me too. Basically stopped when it hit the thumbnail. I just grabbed it with the leatherman and yanked it out. Had to kind of wiggle it first to make the hole big enough. Almost no pain somehow.

[leech~~]

Jeeez you guys stop with the pictures!

I'm going to stop playing with sharp things!

[pushbutton]

I say keep em coming.....lol. Bearberg wins so far!!! My "funnest" ....couldn't even be posted as it was when jr casted and hooked me pretty much in my arse, not too bad though, and just gripped and ripped. Worst unhooking, interestingly was a walleye as well. The hook was not the problem, but the bite was.....an infection that went darn near septic.....probably bone infection.....ended up with a thumb nearly twice the normal size and literally blew off the nail and still not right a couple years later. Payback I guess......
