Crash
just be glad that hook was semi sterile and wasn't just in a Bass.

everyone has their battle scars... maybe your hook protectors
should be red instead of Clear....

I've done that several times a year hanging plugs. Fortunately almost all mine are barbless. Barbed treble hooks scare me.

Yup, I've been crushing barbs all night. Lesson learned.

Ouch! I did the same exact thing back in November hanging a plug up in the basement. I still haven't gotten around to putting hook protectors on my plugs, but this is a good reminder.

Geez Crash I am sorry to see that. My wife was in the office a couple of weeks ago where the computor is located, and I showed her a pic that one you had sent in with the hook completely embedded. She looks at it and say who in thier right mind would stop to take a picture of that before going to the ER. She just couldn't understand the value thee pic has to all of us. Hope it heals quickly.

just so you won't feel so bad...

One day my darn cat got into my fresh water box
thinking these look fun to play with...

she pulled out all the lures and had them all tangled and
and stuck in the carpet.... It was a nightmare...

it took me forever it seemed to straighten out the mess.

well next to the tackle was this old green parachute
that i used as a camping cover...

thinking that i was done with the lure mess i grabbed it and was
whirling it into a ball real fast to put it away in the closet.

damn it to hell if that cat didn't have one plug hidden in the chute
and because my hands were moving so fast i buried the hook
into my palm and couldn't get it out myself.

off to the hospital i went... DOH
