danger

[fishcatcher]

just warning everyone that vcm trebles on a crawdaddy lure are dangerous (i had one go straight in my thumb and it stopped me fishing)if anyone knows how to stop that please help.

[torvic]

Hrmpf...I think most hooks going through bodily extremities are dangerous!!

Just be careful I think...I've never had a hook go thru me myself personally but like...be careful and it should be okay?

Dont grab the lure or whatever by the body when its swinging around just grab the line first and yeah, dont rush things

[Craig_S]

Ask Ritcho what its like to stick one right in and then have GeoffP perform on the spot surgery with a pair of unpliers. A highly unsavoury prospect!

[Nath_18]

Yeah it must hurt. My sis boyfirnd was going through me shed a year or so ago and I had a hook and line hangin up and he decided he would get it stuck i his finger and then YANK really hard on it and then scream NNNNNNAAAAAAATTTTTTTHHHHHAAAAAANNNNNN really loud. He ended up waiting in A&E for a couple of hours then the nurse pushed the hook back out the other side of his very swallen finger to get it out. :eek:

He still wont forgive me for that ehehehe

[rigzz]

Hi,
That's one of the several positive reasons for using barbless hooks. You can still get pinned but they come out MUCH easier. They're much easier on the fish too.
Cheers,
Rigzz

[gadaletaaj]

yeah,
I had one go through the top of my finger once. It was blowing a gale and I wasn't paying attention. didnt want to go to the hospital as the fish were in a frenzy so I just pushed it strait back the way it came and kept fishing.

[SPIN DOCTOR]

Hows this one then.

I was out in the boat one day ,it started pissing down ,so i went to reach for my coat and fell faward and tried to break my fall by putting my arm out and just so happened to grab hold of my rod .I felt an extreme pain in my arm ,had a glance ,and was in shock to see the sight of a set of filthy ganged hooks open me up to the bone from my wrist to my elbow.

Blood was screaming out everywhere,but the fishing was too hot,so i grabbed hold of the gangies with my teeth and proceeded to tear them out of my gashed up arm whilst still fishing and landing three bream in the process.!!!
So if you believe that story your mad.
I just wanted to go one better..;)

[Jocool]

THATS NOTHING!!!

I was fishin of a rock platform with my cousin and I hooked a monster Kingie..played it for about 45 minutes. Got it up to the rocks and my cuz went for a swing with the gaff..missed...and got me in the shoulder instead!!!:mad: :mad:

And there I was runnin up and dowen the platform trying to get this monster from the deep up...with a gaff hanging from my shoulder!!!!HAHAHAHA:D :D :D :D

Beat that!

[Angel]

me and my old man were fishing at rocky point down south and this dude next to us got snagged on the rocks below. he was pulling on it real hard trying to get it to come loose. then all of a sudden it did and the float smashed my dads glasses and the bottom hook on the gang went through my dads ear lobe. i tell u what that bloke got sworn at a bit then the fool. any way managed to cut the barb end off with the pliers and extract the offending hook. true story

cheers scooter

[DAGGA]

HAHAHA just made me remember of something that happend to my cousin that my dad told me HAHAHAHA he was really young and my dad toulk him out fishing and he whent to cast out his line when he hooked the side of his stomach and then freaked out and started pulling at it trying to get it out. Reckon it would have been funny he freaked and just pulled on it then my dad sor it and then fed it out of the skin cut the barb then brang it back out the way it whent in.

True story

[Nath_18]

Yeah guys and i bet it a true story, it happened to a friend of a friend of mine ey?

[DAGGA]

My one was a true story i dunno bout the others lol

[Nath_18]

Yeah me and me dad went bream fishing in our marlin boat on the flats and anyway dad hooked this huge bream on marlin gear and the fish jumped clear out of the water and on the way back down it managed to get this treble stuck in his belly and allway his head went that way, and his guts went that way and all the gizzids acted as a berley trail and we got em into a frenzy and managed to hook into a few horses the first one was like farlap he was about 2 mtrs and he still ad the jocky on him to (hows that for luck) and the second one we had to let go, his name was edd and he talked allot so dad dragged him out of the livewell and chucked him back to trot another day.
And yes it's a true story it hapened to a friend, of a friend of mine.

chears, Nathan ehehehe ;)

[DAGGA]

ey screw u im tellin the trueth!!!!:(

Shaking fist in ur genral direction screamin bloody hoolygen!!!

[torvic]

Once after a snag the hook went flying back at my face with a vengeance...but then I ducked and went 'woah...that was close'

Thats it for me :)

[DAGGA]

Yeh i had that happen to me too. Theres this spot i was fishing for trout and theres like a 1m drop then about 1m and a half of land then water.
Anyway i wanted to try to see if i was getting any follows so i was casting above the drop and i got my jig stuck on some plant that was on the waters edge and i pulled on and it came flying at me and it hit my cruch but wasnt moving very fast cos it didnt do anything just hit and fell but i did feel it and it was toooo close for comfort!!!!!!!!:eek:

[torvic]

Ahahaha u groin shotted urself...!!!

Well, at least u didnt get hit in the nuts by a mini orange thrown by ur friend's gf

!!

[DAGGA]

[torvic]

[DAGGA]

[torvic]

Great. I've got a night of peace...finally

[DAGGA]

While ur on but i might as well ask which coloure atomic should i get outa these 2 Pumpkinseed or Amber.
Im getting these ones Green Pumpkinseed and Brown Crawdad

but i dunno which one of those 2 to get???

[DAGGA]

Fine be like that smart ass!:mad:

[torvic]

Ya know, last time I was at the tackle store I saw some amber grubs and said 'Woah...these look too good not to be hammered' So I got the pack but havent had a fish yet, although I havent really given them a fair go. The pumpkinseed ones are awesome tho, caught the first few bream last week on it.

Up to you, they both work :)

[DAGGA]

Well the only reason im not get 4 packets of atomics is because i thought i should get another plano tackle box but i got no where to fit it so yeh i might as well just get the other packet of Atomics

[torvic]

Hey

Get yourself fitted with the 4 lb fireline first, u got that yet? Save up the rest of the money and ask me when u see me online again. I think its time to get u on yer first bream :p Da n00b is gonna take on an apprentice of his own, mwhahaha

[DAGGA]

Yeh man i got 4lb fireline in flame

[fishcatcher]

talking about getting hooked one time i was fishing with live whiting that a school of flatties chased and i got snagged so i gave it a rip and the whole lot flew at me. the livey as well.it all went in my knee barbs and all. the whiting was still wriggling and it riped lots of skin off.then a huge wave came and got salt water in it:mad: i just ripped out the hooks and kept fishing.ended up with lots of flatties:D

[SPIN DOCTOR]

Yesterday,this is no DohDohDohDoh,i caught a bream on a H-B I grabbed hold of the slippery buggera and it slipped through my hand and the top treble imbeded itself into my thumb while the bugger was kicking like crazy as it was lipped on the bottom treble.

Gees it was bloody hard to release him gently after that:(

[SWANK-E]

maybe you should have fought a bit longer with that bream.

btw, i got snagged around a pylon once and i gave it the 'ultimatum' pull and the thing went loose and flicked towards my eye, ended up with the front treble in my right eye and the rear treble in my left eye. i just yanked it out and kept fishing and landed another 5 horses!

true story, it also happened to a friend of a friend of a friend, except he is blind now and i am not. this is why you see me in sunglasses

[pete s]

when i was a wee lad (12), the old man and i were fishing eucumbene for the first time. it was dark, windy and i rather cleverly managed to attach a size 12 red tag to my nose, straight in the centre. luckily i fished barbless back then and removed it no probs. from then on when fly fishing at night i wear clear lens glasses :)

[fishcatcher]

ouch

[Evileye]

my frend was fishin with his dad on the boat and his dad was baiting him up and the bloody idiot thort he was gettin bites so bang!, he struck, and his dad doesnt bait up for him no more :D

[Jocool]

HEY EVIL....

I can relate to that...I did that once to my dad too!!:p

[Mick]

If you are going to test a jighhook for sharpness there is only one way to do it:( :D

[Nath_18]

yeah thanks allot now im not gonna be able to sleep tonight.
I can see it now im running in slow mode (babe watch style :P) and there is a giant jig head chasing me proding me in the arse. :D

this one time....my friend was fishing in his blue boat(we'll call him Kevin)...anyways, he caught this huge horse, and when he landed it his friend (call him Ditch) realised it was a rather sexy lookin bream, and tried to have his way with it...anyways...kev didnt like that to much, so they tussled it out. Unfortunately, kev slipped onto this new rod which he got from Japan and impaled himself in the arse region. The rod went in so far you could hardly find that favourite japanese reel of his. It was ok though, coz Kev likes that sort of thing.
To bring a long story short...im just being a grotty lil bugger and making stories up like the rest of ya...Oh and im taking piss out of a few of the boys at the same time. 2 birds with one stone.

[chris_lemess]

Hahahahahah! :D :D You forgot the bit about there being so much friction from all the rubbing that his boat melted back into the blue puddle it came from. :)

Dont let DaveW hear that Chris...lol
Those poor plastic fantastic boats!
Dave

[Fishaholic]

Awww, that's nuthin'... I knew this bloke that knew this bloke whose mate's cousin's brother-in-law's best mate was in the SAS and one day he and his SAS buddies were trawling a marlin spread off the back of their blackhawk (low altitude flying LOL) up the Parra river and as they flew under the Ryde railway bridge they hooked up to a grander black but it spat the hooks, and the worst thing about it was that they forgot to take the lens cap off the survelliance camera on the blackhawk otherwise thy would have had pictures to prove it.... it's true I tell ya!!

:p

Gab.

[Vulcan]

U lot r a pak of bullDohDohDohDoh artists.
If u ex pect me to believe u giys catch actual horses when u fish then u r even sillier then l thort! To think that people cood post such drivel & ex pect others to be leve it, jeese, u know u nearly had me.
l'll tell u a tru story that happened a cupple a years ago up port hedland way (involving hooks).
After a hard days belt splicin' and havin' downed 1 beer(1 can screamer) l decided to give the missus a call(bak in VIC.). Anyways l was standin' in one of those public fone booths(the type that has 2 plastic bubbles side by side), and about 5 mins. into the phone call l felt an almighty blow to the testicular region. After l picked myself up from the ground l spied across the car park a familiar face pissing himself laughing. The said prik had thrown a yonnie in my direction landin' the perfect hit. After abusing him from afar the missus asked wat was goin' on & she gave permission to get even. 2 nites later l happened to walknear the basketball court and was invited to play/make up the numbers, and who be on the opposing side no other than the rok thrower.Anyways after about 10 min. of game the said person was goin for the big rebound when one of the biggest hooks you have ever seen snagged this guy fair n square on his top lip. l tell ya he was there was no barbs!

[torvic]

Man if someone threw a rock at me there I wouldnt have got up so fast. I was playing around with my friend, was throwing mini oranges at her, then she picks one up and wham...guess where it hit.

Owwiee...that wasn't cool

Sif girls cant throw!

[fishcatcher]

thats a load of bulldust

[fishcatcher]

sorry i take back my last comment.

[Newbass]

Once at band camp.
I thought i would try this plastics fishing thing then i seen this fishing site and then i had over 100 posts so i thought i was a pro sponsored Rexy,Starlo,bushy,miller unreal fisho that sits behind a computer all day.:D :D :rolleyes: :D

[canoeboy]

Ok heres another one. Me and my brother in law go fishing down the Grose river in nsw for bass. 2hr walk thru thick scub to river, first cast using a crawdat lure, bang, kilo bass on rivers edge with still a bit of life in him. Gets excited and grabs for fish. Treble hook thru index finger.
"wheres the leatherman so as i can push this hook thru my finger and cut barb"
" at home"
" F@$%K"
3 options. 1. walk 2hrs out thru thick scub after just arriving.
2. unattach treble hook, and fish with hook hanging
off finger.
3. thread hook thru finger, with much pain, sceaming, and turning a light shade of grey, crushing barb down with teeth, then removing hook and continue fishing.

Says alot for barbless hooks.

[fishcatcher]

has any MEN had hooks penitrate down there (you know where)

[cody]

I was fishing at on a jetty once and a guy walked straight behind someone who was casting and decided to get treble stuck in his earlobe.

Cheers
