good luck to you

I have and you cannot beat them.

5 or 6 years ago out on the reef at the Fire Beach in Weakapaug and I land a 15# or so. Go to unhook the fish, waist deep in water and drive a 3/0 right thru the last finger on my left hand with the bass still attached.

Hugged the bass to my chest and got the manleys out of my holster and cut the shank of the hook. Whew!!!!

Reminds me of the nite I met you at Carp's BAr and you or your buddy had to cut the hook out of our fearless leader JohnR's hand.........

I have a first aid kit in the truck which is always a mile away. I am going to put together a small kit for the bike which will include said Manley pliers. I was going to get a pair of whatever brand pliers, but Manleys it is i guess. Thanks.

I guess everybody has to do this at one time or another.
