Effin' Bloos are in...
Had my biggest bluefish ever today, swallowed a whole pogie. Pulled it onboard and was was going to release it. As I put the hookout tool in his mouth, he got me good. Sliced the top of my workinghand index finger from first to second knuckle, deep. Now I'm bleeding good. First aid kit, wrap tightly with gauze. Cut the leader, pitched him, and headed to the mooring. 2.5 hour visit in the ER for cleansing, closing and antibiotics..... at least I talked them into the glue sutures.
So they're in. And I am gonna get one of Clammer's bloofish behavior modification tools onboard tomorrow!

Didn't measure, I was so pissed at myself.... maybe 34-35 inches???
Gotta change over to righty conventionals for tomorrow.... He got my lefthand, and I'm in a splint. The teeth just glanced me. I can't imagine if he had gotten a hold of me...

If you forget the hatchet for some reason, a couple swings into the grapple anchor works too. |

I met a nurse the other night and she told me that the newport hospital had a patient a few years ago who was 'de gloved' by a bluefish. The guy for what ever reason stuck his whole hand down the fish's mouth and the fish clamped down on him and his reflex was to pull back, which turned his hand inside out- his palm and top of his hand was tangling from his finger tips...
yuck..

Personally I always have my left hand clamped around boofishes gills, so it isn't going get the chance to do anything to me. I don't attempt anything with bluefish until head is secure.

It's amazing how affective those teeth are, especialy on rigged Sluggoes. You hardly feel the bump and then all the effort you put into rigging is snipped in half in a blink... YEAH-HIT 'M HARD!!

I've used super glue myself instead of going in for stitches. Would've saved you a few hours in the emergency room.

Hope the wound heals well. Those bogas make a good subduer also. Couple a wacks across the forehead usually slows 'em down some.

Had my line cut off while chunking yesterday in the Merrimack and my buddy was live lining a Mac and pulled it out of the water missing it's lower half. They love to do that to soft baits too but they are fun to catch.
