    Fishing injury

    This is what happens when you haven't knocked a Spanish on the head enough times and try to get your lure out ....

    I did the same thing at Moreton Island last year. ended up driving back from the island with the hook firmly lodged in the finger with the point under the finger nail. The young fella almost passed out when he saw it so was of no assistance driving the boat or car. Its not a great feeling having a hook hanging out of you like that. Looks painfull.

    geez Louise makes you cringe at the risks we take fishing. But nothing ventured nothing gained.

    hmmm.... reminds me of fishing for marlin with Mates Rates last year with an inch laceration down his hand from a 10/0 and a ripping a green marlin in the boat.
    i also got a ganged 5/0 through the achilles from a solid king on another occasion. think i strangled it to death trying to stop it from flapping around and ripping it out.

    OUCH!

    I wish I had taken some pics 2 weeks ago. Out fishing with a mate, he landed a Mahi Mahi, removed the hook, cut its throat with the recently sharpened bait knife and dropped the fish in the bleed out box. Stood up and turned around to re-bait his hook and kicked the knife he'd left on the floor, against the side of the boat, driving the point about an inch into his heel. Breaking out the first aid kit, he washed the wound with a saline wash, put an absorbent pad on his heel and wrapped a pressure bandage around his foot, followed by some grey duct tape he had in his bag. Then stood up and fished on for another 2 hours. He ended up with 4 stitches in his heel.
