Ever do this? 2025

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

I've seen this mistake made on the ocean where the rod has done much more damage. Breaking the nose bridge or cheekbone 20 miles offshore can't be fun.

This was at the CAST Alumni day. Pond full of hogs and one of the kids had one bury in the weeds with my rod so......Russ to the rescue :

video-DUH

rondef reply :

That looks like it had to hurt.

The Rooster reply :

The video was only a few seconds long so I couldn't tell much. Looked like the line broke on you. Did it??

And was that a Pflueger President reel?? Looked like it. Aren't they nice?!?!

Yea, a nice smack to the eyesocket,lol....laugh it off.....lol

Yes, that's a president. One of the all time "best in show" LOW BUDGET picks,lol. Great bang for the buck. A value based reel.

Had to wait til I got home to open this thread up; I don't think I could explain how going into a thread titled "Ever do this" started by someone with the handle "Low_Budget_Hooker" was a smart thing to do at work.

IRT topic; ouchie. No I've never done that.

garry77 reply :

Never got wahcked with a rod(knock on wood).But it looked like it smarted a little.

wagn reply :

fishbear reply :

That had to leave a mark!!!

FishingJames reply :

Haha, saw something like this today while I was fishing. Kid across the lake sets the hook on a fish only for his bait to come flying at him and hit him in the face.

MALTESE FALCON reply :

Yup, I've been there Russ. Not only does it sting a little bit, it's pretty embarassing as well.

Ouch!!!

The Rooster reply :

I "set the hook" yesterday on some poison ivy on the bank trying to yank my Blue Fox #3 spinner back out of it and it came at me like a bullet and hit my ankle and stuck in my sock. It hurt when it hit too. I wondered if I was even going to be able to touch it to get it out since it had a poison ivy leaf hanging on it and I'm super allergic. Had to take my sock off and pull it out with pliers and then dip my foot in the water to rinse it off for fear of a breakout later. Only thing that would have been worse than that is if I had fallen off the side of the boat while rinsing cause my boat has such high sides, it's hard to get to the water from the front deck.

jvox reply :

That why I use strong line haha. Water around here is 80% veg. hahahahaha. Every bass I catch needs to be fought through a forest!!

Kozak reply :

Hah, that must have stung for a while

I've set the hook on a small bass and had the rod nail me in the forehead, knocking my hat into the water and nearly throwing myself out of my small 8' basshunter ;D

Willzx225 reply :

I don't know what must have hurt more after that.... Your face or your pride ;D Just kidding.

(Did ya'll hear the sound when the rod hit him in the face? OUCH)

I got hit once in the eye brow with a 1/2 oz rattle trap that was stuck in some bushes. That hurt! but I was very lucky as I was not wearing Sunglasses!

Bad Fish reply :

Yep,,,,did it last week,,,with a 7' heavy action lighting rod,,,,swelling just went down,,,,to add insult to injury the 1/2 oz jig flew out of the water and hit me in the beans,,,lol :'(

SimonDM17 reply :

I've put a Spro Frog into my crotch when wading. I saw a blowup in pads, set the hook, realized the bass had completely missed the frog, and saw 5/8ths of an ounce of Spro whizzing at my crotch. Braid+topwaters+crotch=bad news.

Other. reply :

Haha thanks for the laugh Russ. However now you have me paranoid about that happening to me :-[

NitroMan reply :

HAHAHA that sucks!!!!

I always set the hook to the right of my head just so that doesn't happen...

Hope you learned a lesson. ;D
