Priorities: Photo then first aid

[tomca]

I love a good mishap :ohmy:

At least this time it wasn't me, and no angry fish thrashing around on the other treble either.

[fishingnut]

bugger that!

[dassa]

is that the lady boy?could tell by the soft looking hand hasn't done a hard days work in a while :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Travis]

I agree a bit of carnage is always a crowd pleaser :laugh: guessing Kreel? :laugh:

[tomca]

Social experiment. We shall see if the culprit owns up to their actions

if not I shall name and shame later

Couple of swags of Wild Turkey and out she comes....seen the video :silly: :ohmy: :dry: :woohoo:

[yoyo]

geez hard to judge the angle from the pic, but looks like it wouldnt have been a push-thru job either ?

nasty stuff...

[wesfish]

not impressed!! lol where is the blood shot and the tears of pain :laugh: :laugh:

glad its not me ! looks deep and painful, so what did the capture weigh?

[tacklebox]

I confess! I caught a pike and thought I'd forgotten my pliers so went to grab it...

It was fine. First aid officer Tomca was quick to get the camera out THEN administer first aid :laugh:

Didn't hurt as much as this (forgot my filleting glove and tried to lip grip a flatty) :pinch:

and just to prove my manly hands were not involved - a candid photo of my meat-hooks:

What was the method of removal?

Pull back out (ouch); or

Push through and snap the hook. (not so much ouch)

[fergie]

sx 40 trebble??

i did the same thing, after a failed attempt with the pliers and an ouch!

ripping it out with line rapped aroud the trebble seemed to be the quickest and less painful way to do it.

those hooks get sink into your skin rather easily

this will happen to me one day .

as the last big flathead we caught flicked about and my lip grips went over board .

was spewing too only the second time i used them and only had them for a year too .

so i'm back to using my hands or a wet rag .

doesn't matter much as i forget to use the lip grips anyways ,like i said use second time in 1 year.

i have been lucky with trebles never past the barb so far .fingers crossed .

the day i get one in further i hope i got one of the more experienced guys about to remove it .

i have seen mick remove 1 with the fishing like ,looked like the go .quick and over .

wes: sadly it's not the first time i've done that :blush:

terry: back out the way it went in.

fergie: close, sx48

davo: I have a pair of lip grips but I prefer the glove. I feel I have more control and it does less damage to the fish.

[magiva]

:ohmy: cant say i haven't done it, can say it hurts at a very similar angle to that. Bless the good old TURKEY.

Hmmm Mr Felix was a second to a flathead injury this weekend. The flathead was trying to escape and well, he grabbed it and it started moving around and his thumb is now cut up to Oh well. No Pain No gain!

[Keen-as-fisho]

Ouch, not pleasant
