Donna G Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Got a late start. Champ188 caught the skunk-buster off a windy bluff end on a blade, of course. After no more takers on a crankbait or swimbait, we pulled the trolling motor and he was fixing me up with a different crankbait when a DD22 bit him hard. So, we're at the ER in Berryville. ? Told him I was hungry and ready to go back fishing, so hurry up. crazy4fishin, magicwormman, cheesemaster and 2 others 5 Donna Gilzow Bella Vista, Arkansas The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. --John Buchan, 1915
Donna G Posted September 10, 2016 Author Posted September 10, 2016 Forgot to mention that I caught a keeper spot on a Keitech while we drifted off the bluff and Champ was working on tackle...before the hook incident. 40 FOW and I'm seeing fish and bait from the bottom to 15 FOW. Tried fan casting, but no love, so I dropped the swimbait over the side and let it fall almost to the bottom and then started reeling slowly. Hadn't made two turns before the fatty clobbered it.

176champion Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 I hate those trips to ER.... good luck if you go back out... Donna G 1 I know everything about nothing and know nothing about everything! Bruce Philips
fshndoug Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 those are big hooks on a DD22.Did you snag yourself or were you hooked in the mouth?I caught a Bagleys DB 3 once with a 7 lb channel attached to it.Those things roll like an croc when they hit the floor of the boat with me attached to the back hook.I feel your pain brother.

marcus Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 my brother hooked the glasses off my face with a crankbait one time....cast went about 30 yards with my glasses still connected to the bait...he reeled my glasses back in...put the glasses back on and back to fishing that could have been bad Champ188, Skeeter2, johnm and 2 others 5
cheesemaster Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Dang, that's not good at all. Sorry you had to cut your trip short but maybe you can get back out there. ERs are not known for super speedy service, at least in my experience. Post another report if you make it back out please. Donna G 1
Quillback Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Ouch! Tell Champ he has my sympathy. Donna G 1

denjac Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 One good thing about having a hook in your body somewhere is the ER considers it a Foreign object in your body and you get to cut ahead of the runny nosed welfare kids.
