Speaking of mis-handling fish, remember posting this JimmyCT?

Right then the fish flips and one of the trebles went through a small section of skin on my hand. The fish flips free of my grip and then starts digging down in the water.. with my arm attached.. It hurt a little bit but I guess it could have been worse.
