A few years ago I was mating an Ave Maria charter, while trying to grab a frigin dogfish by the back of the head, I put one of the hooks of a 3/0 treble on a deep diver through one of my fingers.
What hurt like hell was the frigin dogfish swinging all over the place, still hooked to the deep diver, and the hook through my finger.
Capt Mike was quick with his Van Staal priers to cut the hook.
I cut the hook closer , pushed it the rest of the way through, put a band aid on and went back to fishing!
I think a remember the people on the charter tipped pretty good that day !
