Lesson learned,
When a fish is gut hooked with a treble, cut the line... Don't think its going to be easy to take the hook out. We should have made the decision to cut the line, instead I got hooked.
I needed to push the barb fully through so I told the guys to continue fishing and I went to the front of the boat and pushed it through. Phil was prepared with a mini set of bolt cutters to cut the barb off and after it was out we bandaged it up and it was back to fishing.... Beautiful day to be out there!!!
The nick name for the end of the day was "Mike ET finger"
Good times, can't wait for the next trip!!!
