Mattyice572 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Just thought id share this pic from my recent deleware fishing trip. While trying to retrieve my hook from a shads mouth, the fish thrashed and the treble drove into my hand. As it pierced my skin, the fish thrashed back and forth forcing the hook deeper into my hand, as a catch and release guy, im sorry to report that i had to squash the fish to prevent further damage to myself. Lots of pain pushing this hook through the other side my hand. Never again will i try to get a hook out of a fishes mouth without my trusty rusty pliers.

JoelJ Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Ouch! For "just a catch and release guy" why don't you file or crush the hook barb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckMarley Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 What method did you use for getting it out? Pushing through and getting rid of the barb? Or just good old yankin the sucker out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 That's a good ad for a boga grip. All it takes is one experience and you don't mess with trebles and lively fish. Been there and done that never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipwreck Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 The only time I ever got tagged good was from a little fish not using a grip.

Tagman Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 It would hurt a little better if it was a 40lb + bass instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonefishdick Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 From the title and the pic I am sure it looks like he doesn't fish much. I still think when it comes to hook removal using a heavy piece of mono and pinching the eye down and a quick yank is the way to go.

tristate Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Why were you using treble hooks for shad? I've only ever used flutter spoons, darts or flies. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 I did that with an SP minnow a few weeks back... 5lb bluefish thrashing on rear hook. Shook front treble went in my hand. Kept shaking head hook went in deep barb in..... had a buddy close got the fish unhooked and then dealt with the hand.... was able to back it out somehow miraculously Hurt like hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
