Wholeheartedly agree!! I bet most fisherman have hooked themselves at one time or another. I know I have. But only a single hook. It ain’t all fun and games out there fishing. :-)

Several times, twice as the fish got revenge for being hooked. One undersized striped bass (must be 28 inches to be legal, this one was about 18-19") flopped as I tried to release him and drove the hook into my finger. I had to carry him up to my tackle box, get my cutters, push the hook the rest of the way through and cut off the barb before I could remove it. That was about ten years ago, and I'd like a rematch since he's probably 35 pounds or better by now!
