Replaced some hooks on a couple of lures last night and left them on a shelf before going to bed. Got up this morning walked past the shelf to open a window and caught a few on my jumper..flicked them on the floor...next step in my foot and connected to the carpet.
Another lesson lernt. ..put the bloody things away when your finished. |

Wish I could upload a pic off my old camera.
1st day of a 5 day trip to the minimini, by myself, 500km from darwin, 300 by road, 200 by water. drifting into a snag, by thought I could get one more cast at it before I had to move. got the cast in, but then had to move quickly to reposition. I was on the cast deck, and my 4.85 seajay was packed with a 60lt esky, a 60lt car fridge and 6 jerry, s of ulp. I had a shimmano ora stick bait hanging off the consol, a big one, GT size, and slipped on the wet esky lid and put a 1/0 or 2/0 heavey duty owner treble in my heel, all the way. Saw another boat about 1km away, and drove to it, hoping they had some side cutters or bolt cutters in their boat, but they didnt. They did have an extremely sharpe kershaw boning knife though, and I cut deep into my heel to expose the barb. Impossible to push it through, as it was all the way to the bend and not enough bend left to push it through, so cut a hole deep enough to get a pair of pliar s around the barb. The bloke cutting with the pliars, (i did the knife work myself)was strong, he broke the handle off! Fished the rest of the 5 days, and it turned into an epic trip. Hope yours came out easier 2nd pair of pliars did it though., and patched it up best I could, lots of betadine and a sock over it. No pain, very lucky. I keep a good pair of side cutters now! |

I tried to get it out myself for a while but was at the wrong angle to get a good go at it...needed a helper so off to hospital for me. Problem was it was heading deeper when the doctor tried to push it through. Had to bend the treble back, twist it around and push it out the side. Doctor said he deals with hook accidents on a weekly basis being at the Tweed hospital and mine was nothing compared to the offshore boys he gets through regularly.

Did you receive an injection to help deaden the pain before the doctor played with the hook.

Gee not real good Dave...the knife has got to be the last resort. Sounds like you had no choice. At least you were fishing in a great spot and caught fish. All I caught was the carpet.
Yeah I ended up getting a needle straight down inside the hole. After I played with it for half an hour it was a bit sore. Didn't feel a thing after the needle. Cheers Brad |

The doctor had a good go at it before the needle too. It was grabbing onto something ...maybe a bit of tendon in my arch.

Brad that looks nasty, been there done that many times this year..like you just around the house a couple times and out in the kayak...last time was a hospital visit with some local. Although I cut it down on the yak, continued to fish and had it removed when I went home, fun times...

2 hook ups in fingers, first the barbs were crushed, the second not crushed. Now if I noticed I haven't crushed the barbs while fishing I curse at myself.

Standing on something squishy (especially if you have a pet) in the middle of the night is worse then Lego

I had no choice......
best hook up story belongs to one of my mates. His mrs filmed it to. 1st trip to the tropics, wiepa, mid 90, s , gets a barra .....cuda 1sr cast. looks at the camera and starts with the spiel, blah blah blah, bomber in the fishes mouth, 2 hands on the fish, (im laughing as I type this!) One of the trebles is resting on the web of his hand, between the thumb and for finger. Both hands are full, (hard to type when laughing so much! ) soooo, he uses his bottom lip to move the treble. The cuda just sees a mouth and eyes coming for his head, and gives an almighty shake! Scott now has a cuda with a treble in it, and one through his tounge and one through his lip hahahahaha! Cuda teeth right next to his nose!!! Hahahahaha! Wish it was on U tube! The rest of the video has him lisping his blah blahs ! Sorry Scott if you read this, but please post the video on u tube! |

I didn't try the cord trick to pull it out Ganesy...I've seen it done before and it works well. I usualy just push them through if it's possible. No doubt I will have more hooks in me over the years to test all ways of extraction.
