Gave it the old heave-ho and the bait was headed his way. Seven of the nine points buried in his ear. Jerk baits scare me, but I fish them. Terrierman, snagged in outlet 3 and Johnsfolly 2 1

I bought some 9" needle nose pliers but still.... The ol' gill squeeze works pretty good. I wonder if that actually harms the fish ? Doesn't seem to.

I agree especially when there is more than one treble on a bait and that fish is thrashing around. It can be a nightmare of potential hook removal points on your hands, arms, legs.... snagged in outlet 3 1
JestersHK Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Someone here i think maybe JD posted the crick hopper I think with one hook in a finger on the right hand and the other hook in a finger on the left... that one sticks with me... Sorry about the ear, I need to wear eye pro at night... lots of close calls and I've stuck a wooly bugger in the ol bald head once. Thankful barb was pinched. Left a good dent and bruise Johnsfolly 1

JestersHK Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Thanks Pete for the confirmation, and yeah I agree I'd be in a serious pickle doing that at night in the water lol. Makes me shudder thinking about it Quillback and Johnsfolly 2
Deadstream Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Back in the winston/joe camel day we had a free kayak .Fishing in the strip pits, in very narrow strips. One early morning after a doe and great buck jumped OVER us I set the hook on a monster bass(my story). Anyways it spit the hook... and I ducked the floating Rapp coming back at me. My roommate then and great fishing buddy caught it in the mouth and ear. I was getting ready to cast again when I heard stop plus you know.. Long hike pulling the kayak out and trip to joplin to have it removed.
Deadstream Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 1 More... Solo trip in my canoe down the Manistee River. Picking blueberrys as i fish along the bank. A monster garter snake attacked me and I buried a # 0 mepps in my hand when i escaped that beast. It was about HUGE. About 6". Daryk Campbell Sr 1
