Hooked a Monster

Hasn't happened in a couple years, but I managed to hook a monster up north this weekend- myself.:madman:
I used the old fishing line trick, with a tug and pressure on the tine it came out without a snag ;)
I wish I had pics, but I just wanted to suggest that method in a post. It works. For everyone that fishes with any regularity, these things happen, and not generally in a spot where one can just zip over to the hospital. Downward pressure on the tine and a FIRM tug on the line wrapped around the hook straight backwards. Awesome.

Hahaha! You are a monster. Sucks dude but I bet most have been 'caught' or 'stuck' in that situation before, including myself.

I love how he sterilized the fly with PBR

Had to do that to the wife. I was repainting a jigging rap and had it hanging to dry on a wire shelf at home where we keep a bowl of fruit. She reached in to grab some fruit but the rap grabbed her first. It was the nose hook that tagged her. We cut off the tail hook first then used 20lb fluorocarbon and out it came.

This guys got it bad

How you know you're a fishing addict.

lol

LOL yes I am a fishing addict!! She toughed it out pretty good. I was 2hrs away when it happened and she wouldn't go to the emergency room to get it out.She told me not to worry about it and she would wait till I got home so i could deal with it.She's a keeper!!

Thanks for not posting any pics

Fishing this long weekend: 2nd time this year. Same trick no problem. In the boat a certain board member says "Here, I'll get out with a pair of pliers." In the dark. After a whiskey or three. After putting it there to begin with. Or (and call me crazy) I go back to the lit cottage and get the gf to do it. Again. I swear she was smiling

LMFAO! I would have got it out dude but perhaps with a chunk of meat. And it was YOUR lure in your hand, not the one I was casting as far as I recall.

we have all done it ouch

LOL yes I was holding my lure in my hand for a second. Then my lure was holding my hand for more than a second.

Made me remember the time on Lake Simcoe in the early 70's a friend of mines brother got a hook stuck thru his forearm, pretty nasty looking set, it was a Sunday, but there was a veterinarian who lived at his practise down the road, he answered the door and fixed him up, guy is never going to live down the fact that we took him to the vet to get fixed.

LOL yes I was holding my lure in my hand for a second. Then my lure was holding my hand for more than a second.

LOL! So THAT'S how it went down. I'm calmer than you are, but you handled it well Dude.

Thanks my friend. You were pretty calm LOL
Not as calm as this guy Dude.
