Few of my friends have had a tough week. Have any good pictures to share ?
When I was 10 I got a jointed Rapala stuck in my ear and had to go to the Emergency Room to get it cut out. It was a slow day in the ER and it didn't take long for word to get around that there was a kid with a fishing lure stuck in his ear. It seemed like everybody that worked there had to come and take a look and make some smartass comment about my earring.

Fortunately I didn't have to go to the hospital for this one.
I think if you put some earring loops on that we could sell them bad boys LOL
Too funny embarrassing moments as a child. I'm the one time is in the woods hunting and I peed on an electric fence just about knocked me on my butt. Thanks for sharing

We share that experience.
I knew what an electric fence looked like, my cousin didn't. When the voltage hit him he fell on his back & continued discharging water straight up then down all over himself, all the while screaming like a mad man.
That was almost 60 years ago & I still laugh when I'm reminded of the event.
I was sitting in a chair on the creek bank when my wife (of less than 1 month) rared back & tried to cast her lure across the lake. Both treble hooks buried up in my shoulder blade. She thought she'd hung on something & continued jerking her rod not listening to my screams. She was so shook up when she finally saw what she'd done she couldn't drive. I had to pack up our gear & drive almost 20 miles to my parents home then ride with my dad the 30 miles to the hospital. Every move I made pulled that lure & it felt like it was tearing my shoulder blade off. We've been married now 50 years & I've never forgotten that day.
She got her hooks in you good BC.
GOT A TREBLE IN MY RIGHT HAND BELOW THE THUMB WHEN I JERK IT OFF A STUMP IT WAS HUNG IN TO DEEP. WILL NOT EVER JERK A HUNG UP TREBLE HOOK AGAIN.

I was 6yo my dad cast out and caught my right ear with his hook. He made me go home with my mom. No fishing...for me.
I smash the barbs on my hooks . Loose a few fish but kill far less and safer for people .
To remove a hook make a loop of line inside the bend of the hook . Pushing on the long part of the shank with your thumb directly behind the barb, a quick pull on the loop and the hook will come right out been there done that . Check out u tube videos
FYI if you get 2 hooks from a worm harness
Through your cheek you can cut with side cutters . About 60 years ago :-(
Loop trick works better.
Cut the hooks off in your mouth
Try it with a big snook on another treble hook! Ouch buried hook in palm with a fresh green snook flopping around! Subdue the fish first, unhook her and then hurt my self pulling buried hook out! Double Ouch!
I put my 2oz sinker on my chair to relieve tension on my line to bait up,well it slipped off pulling the hook into my finger,I cut the line and kept fishing..the ER comes later fishing is more important.
GOD Bless
