Best advice I ever got... "when bluefish are around, switch to single hooks and punched barbs. Mixing barbed treble hooks and bluefish is just asking to get a hook stuck in your hand." That advice has saved me from at least one trip to the hospital. Hope the hook didn't do too much damage. We've all been there.

next time , you too ,will cut the F #$%^&*() bloooofish in half 1st ><<><><:fury:

any pics?

would love to see a picture of you on a hospital bed in your wet waders with a "hot" nurse smiling next to you

BT: did you have a "hot" nurse in the ER for hook in leg?:rotf2:

Amen.

I now carry mini bolt cutters for just such an occasion

That's why I ALWAYS use pliers for hook removal on bluefish, let them calm down, grab them with one hand and just go to work.

Glad you didn't get an infection or anything.

DITTO but you got to poke the barbs through first in order to cut them off!

Sometimes you gotta bite the bullet. They also help to remove the hook from the plug if needed.

Right where I got mine last year @ 3am with a 7/0 eel hook while removing from a 30lber. While on my way back to my truck for a ER visit, someone from this site (whom I never met before that morning) helped me remove it and I fished on. Bled like a stuck pig but nothing a little electrical tape could handle. Thanks again JF

:confused: :yak6:


;)

Impressive but Doc still holds the record
 

3 hand hooks in a 24 month period, and he still has fully barbed triple treble hooks on his lures.

I had to cut a bomber handcuff out of a friend one evening a few years back, sorry no pic

I was there for that one... not a pretty sight

.....don't feel so good......

Great pic

Manley pliers

Keep those in my :sled:

Always on my belt Jeff.

I heard Jeff bought a pair of Manley players thinking it might make him look a little more Manley. :hihi:

Hi Nebe:buds:

Perhaps if I had a more attractive holster. The ballistic nylon is a bit utilitarian. Exotic skin? Might have to go custom...

I'll confer with my leather guy.

A little different than your normal order I would imagine :-)
