beautiful weather yesterday so I thought I would hop in my boat and toss a rattle trap. Hooked a 3 lb bass and reeled him in. While trying to pry his mouth open in order to get a good hold on him, he flopped and ran the front treble hook all the way through my left index finger past the prong. Problem was he was still hooked to the other treble hook. So every time he flopped it pushed the hook further into my finger. Not a good situation since I had no pliers with me.
I finally got the hook out of him and threw the little S-B back into the water. Got to shore and jumped out of the boat and found my tool box - used wire cutters to cut the hook out - OUCH
