Marc David reply :

kickbasskid reply :
Cause you have the magic touch. 
MikeFromOleMiss reply :
well...i caught my hand today...and boy did i catch it good. ouch.
Marc David reply :
It has happened to me too :-/
bigbasshunter reply :
Man ratltraps are dangerous, I caught my friend last year. The best part is, I was getting ready to launch it and he got up into the line of fire and got hit in the neck. caught his adams apple. Ive never heard this sound before it was kinda a rattle thump when it hit. I asked if he wanted me to take it out and he said he would try, but by the time we reached the boat launch I was freaking out enough to just call the ambulance. Funny thing is they did exactly what i was going to do and charged him $800 on top of insurance.

Sam reply :
First Hands can include.....
Getting stuck with a treble hook (I had to have surgery to remove it)
Getting stuck with a trailer hook (cut barb and pushed out of hand)
Walking The Grove at Ole Miss and realizing how beautiful the coeds are. Some of the prettiest girls in the country attend to Ole Miss. And I mean beautiful.
And last, realizing that the Fighting Tigers will beat Ole Miss like a drum this year in football. ;D ;D ;D

Would that be the LSU tigers, Auburn tigers, or the Memphis tigers? because we play all three...and yes we did beat all three =)

As much as I hate the rebels, I have to give them credit for the way they played last season. They are doing good. 
Hammer 4 reply :
Hmmm, I seem to recall a month ago when I hooked a 8lb trout on a rattle trap, dang thing tossed it right into my finger..lol

That is why a small pair of cable cutters are worth the money to keep in the boat. Im not saying cheap wire cutters but cable cutters, some treble hooks cant be cut with el-cheapo cutters.

Rat-L-Traps....
No luck with em' here.
islandbass reply :
Dang, I feel for you. I hope you didn't get it as bad as these folks:
That fleshy thing is part of a salmon and the treble looks deep.
Now I don't know if these photos are real, but ouch!
ProCrafter reply :
Over here we call it "The Snakebite Club"
Because when you cut the hook and push it through you create a second hole making it look like a snake bite!
Got to join the club in 2005 on the Columbia River.
Almost passed out pushing the hook through my ring finger!

A very simple concept that so many fail to understand...

Hey Mike,
LSU is the Fighting Tigers.
Auburn is the War Eagles/Plainsmen/Tigers/Whatevers.
Memphis State is the Want-To-Be's.
While at LSU in the 60's we had some great games with Ole Miss. Johnny Vaught would beat our fannies on a regular basis but everyone once in a while CHarlie Mac would screw up and the Fighting Tigers would win, like 11-10 one year on a two-point conversion pass caught by Doug Moreau in the North endzone of Tiger Stadium.
And everyone in the stands stood up when the bands played Dixie.
How times have changed. 
MikeFromOleMiss reply :
I just hope we (the Fighting Rebels) can stay consistent. Im tired of roller coasters. So are you coming to the grove this year? Nov 21st i think?

I'm never taking my Oakley glasses (Safety as well as polarized) off .... EVER .... Sorry if its 3 am and pitch black outside that just ain't gonna happen here!
BRUTAL PHOTOS!
fishinfiend reply :
That is why I ALWAYS wear sunglasses. I cannot imagine how bad that hurt.
Tooth Dr reply :
I agree with keeping a good wire (hook) cutter in the boat. Fortunately, to date, I have only had to use them to remove treble hooks from a big catfish. When I put the fish in the boat, the fish could not open it's mouth. Neither could I. Two of the hooks were in the top of the mouth and one hook in the lower jaw preventing the mouth from opening.

Tooth Dr reply :
Thanks for the pictures of the fish hooks in the hand and eye. A person in Guntersville was fishing with a friend that had a Bass on.
