Wow! Best case scenario for a hooking. A little this way or that way and it would have been much worse.
It still must be painful though. I hope it heals quickly for you.

I guess I was lucky it went clear through the nail and out the other side. He crushed the barb and i backed it right out.
Its still throbbing though. The nail split so that will be a nuisance for quite a while too.
I know what you mean about pushing it through, I had to do it for a newbie I took out last year. It went into the fat part of his palm below the pinky. Went more than 1/2 way in and we could not pull it back out. Got it through, crushed the barb and after a few attempts he got it to back out. He has scars he can show.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

my first thought was.... "well at least it went all the way through". Still looks like it hurt like a mother though.

That's what they make Boga Grip for. Hope it heals OK.

Grippers don't totally remove the chance of getting hooked either! Had a smallish fish boat side earlier this year and when I went to grab with gripper she flopped and put the treble into my hand.

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Gaff works much safer.
Easy enough to lip gaff them so they can be released.
Also, removing the hook best to use a hook removal tool from Cabelas or one made by Berkley.

+1. It seems that I use mine most for controlling netted fish. |
Best regards,
