If.........

Keep fishing through it. When the skin heels over while being abused , it gets thick and tough and the problem goes away. That should happen right about when the fish go away too.

Anyway , aside from the bloody hamburg thumb , the rest is never too bad.

If you have scrapes then "beware" of the water that you fish. If there is bacteria in the water then you can be a candidate of flesh eating disease. There is someone that showed me photos of this disease that ate not only the surface skin but deep tissue muscle.

I like that neosporene/gove technique.

You'll be wishing you had those beat up hands when there's a foot of snow on the ground in another month. Keep fishing.....hands will heal later.
