dirvin21 Posted Sunday at 06:15 AM Share Posted Sunday at 06:15 AM Fishing a comp with Amy on the weekend, she was a little eager to get casting when we spot locked and I wasn't paying attention, result a lovely nose piercing, Thankfully it was just a nose and not an eye and all it cost me was a few swear words and blood Amy even got a prize pack for "the best cast" in the comp 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted Sunday at 06:41 AM Share Posted Sunday at 06:41 AM At least Amy caught "something". 🤣 Many years ago, I put a treble hook into my mate's finger. Could not get it out, so removed the treble from the lure and continued fishing. Eventually returned to his home, used the pliers to push the single hook of the treble through until the barb popped out (that caused him some pain 😂 ) snipped off the barb then backed the hook out. Eventually healed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder Posted Sunday at 08:15 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:15 AM Ouch. Looks like you dealt with it on the spot. No need for doctors, the good ones don’t work weekends anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmk1962 Posted Sunday at 08:48 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:48 AM Painful way to put a bit of scent on an SP for sure but I guess Amy knew what she was doing - after all she caught you (again). 😂 In all seriousness though, I feel for you having had a hook through the shin last year (with a mahi attached). All the best with the recovery. Cheers Zoran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelm Posted Sunday at 07:38 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:38 PM Hook injuries are just about the worst thing, especially if a flapping fish is still attached…… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfish Posted Sunday at 09:06 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:06 PM I’m wondering if Amy looked around wondering where her lure went. I’ve seen that happen….. Now where did my lure go ? Not belittling your discomfort Dave but it always could be worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hill373737 Posted Monday at 09:49 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:49 AM Ouch mate, that would hurt but makes a great story!! After having a cod hanging off a HB treble in my index finger while about 4kms down river in the kayak, I now always have small boltcutters with me whenever fishing. It happened very quickly and I was fortunate I was fishing with a mate and not solo - once we got the cod off , after a big of wiggling (and squealing) we got the hook out with a loop of leader and a quick tug, he used the age old method of telling me he would pull it on the count of 3, and did it on 2!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmk1962 Posted Monday at 08:11 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:11 PM (edited) You were fortunate… try having a 70cm angry dollie attached to your shin with a 6/0 … that you have to remove yourself as your Amigo friends kept fishing the hot bite 😳 There’s a video of that floating around here somewhere 🤪 Has me thinking - Dave and Amy would make a skilled crew 🤔🤣 cheers Z Edited Monday at 08:53 PM by zmk1962 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyT Posted yesterday at 05:15 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:15 AM Worst one i saw was at Avoca back in the 80's, big metal lure, big treble and big backswing. Neither the caster or the victim were paying attention (there was at least 30 guys chucking metal when it happened) . The treble tore a big hole in the victims mouth and upper lip and the lure broke his nose and gave him a very black eye. Nasty to say the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
