So after the talk about using crank baits for crappie got me and jeff in the mood to go at it. we got to the lake at 730 am and hit the water first we fished brushpiles catching lots of small fish then started searching for bait balls and bingo, found one strech of water just covered in shad. So out with the cranks and within ten minutes boom first fish So I take picture of the fish then as i grab fish it shakes head and crank comes flying out resulting in

not good tried pullng tried pushing the hook through nothing but pain got sick but kept fishing after a couple hours we called it a day so I could goto ER and have it removed wich was no fun. So guys if you plan on crankin net every fish and lay the rod in the bottom of the boat. Ive made mistakes before but never one this dumb while fishing. by the way did snag a pair of sunglasses while fishing and the zebra muscles have takin over texoma hope they get it under control.

Oops.....

Nice fish.
The same thing happened to me last Thursday.

OUCH !!!, that looks painful. Glad to see everything turn-out ok.

OUCH. Everytime i see someone do that it makes me Almost wanna give up fishing. Thats one of the main reasons trebles are not allowed in the boat or even in a two mile radius of me. Hope it gets better.

When I use Treble hooks.
I allways smash down the barbs with pliers.
Youed think youed loose fish but you wont if you dont givem slack. Just my two cents.

So tell us HOW did they take it out in the ER ??

ouch been there done that.I am blind in one eye because of one of them terrible treble hooks!

They numbed the finger and pushed it through the other side of my finger.

I coulda done that and charged ALOT less!!!!!!!

Me too! Ice is your friend!

or Bio-freeze!!!!!!

I dont pay the insurance company every paycheck not to use it so ill let the cute nurses pamper me and pay my copay.

Oh man, sorry to hear about the hook. Glad it was taken care of. Hope you get back out on the water soon.

jamie you know i would of yanked it out for ya

Is that your Trigger Finger????

Wife got a #6 sickle buried to the 1st bend in the bottom of her heel bout 3 months ago by my tying bench had her lay on the couch,told her i was just gonna look at it! The needle nose'es came into position ! while she was unaware,out it came with one healthy jerk ! she screamed like a stuck hog and bled just as much.I don't think i'll ever get the chance to examine her foot again.

Yours is still the worst hook story I've ever heard. The time my wife got two points of a Rattle Trap treble hook buried in her face was pretty bad too, though.

The smaller the hook the sharper the point. Sure does bleed a lot. Grabing the lower jaw with needle nose pliers is an art. Sorry @ ur finget it hurts from here. A true trooper, u kept on fishing.
