All you saltwater anglers...be safe. I got this picture from a friend while updating a fishing vessel safety presentation. Too often in the excitment, caution is forgotten. Sometimes fishers are reminded in painful ways. (it's real, not photoshop'd)

Thats like my dad, but he got a hook droven into his thumb from a pike, but i dont think it hurt as much as that guy.[&:]

Pike are rough, I myself have had a couple trebbles removed. I like to use the toolbox method where you take a pliers push it all the way back through and snip off the barb.

that first is like the jackass 2 stunt lo. but i cant even imagine the pain. the worst ive had it cutting one out of my finger with my knife or the one i got stuck in my ear when i walked in my garage and a hook was hanging low

Ouch!

I put a hook all the way through my finger when I was like 11. That sucked.

my dad and i were fishing on the chesepeake when a boat flagged us down and asked for some help, ahighly intoxicated fisherman had put a trolling jig trough hand and his friends couldnt hold him down to get it out, my dad pulled a pair of huge clippers and clipped the bard off and slipped it through
