Well here is a picture of how to catch a fish sleeping.

Here is how to catch a 200lb fish called Angler-stupidist(aka my dad)

The surgery was quite painfull but funny cause all he did was take a few shots of rum, put some whiskey on the wound then one,two,three pull and out she came barb and all.

yeeeeeooowwwww, reminds me of chevy chase in funny farm, that dude is gonna be sore[:@]

I hooked my self the other day during a bass tournament went past the barb man damn it killed, no painkillers just right there on the boat, from now on I will carry a hook removal kit with me whenever I go fishing

You mean a flask of JD and a pair of pliers???

Ive had to pulled many hooks outta myself too many times, just instead of just rearing up and pullin it out barb and all, which tend to be really painful and messy (bloody) i would have ran the hook around and back up through the skin clip the barb off then pull it out. you wind up with another hole, but then you have 2 small holes that dont bleed much instead of one large hole that will gush.

There's a trick my dad has used several timesto get fish hooks out of people. It uses fishing line and it gets the hook out without having the barb rip you a new one.

Lastsummer I went striper fishing on lake texoma with a guide. Had a good size fish up to the boat and the hook came out. Well the pressure on the rod sent the lure fly'n over my head and back and then bent the rod againt (flimsy sensitive tip ugly stick rods) which caused the lure to snap back up. Drove the hook right through my shirt and into my back. It wasn't in that bad, just past the barb. I told'm to tip it out, I had fish to catch. But my brother used his trusty pocket knife and performed a lil surgrey on me. Guide slapped some antibotic stuff and bandaid and we kept fishin.

Rip'n the hook outa that thumb makes me cringe.

It makes me glad I fish barbless!
