I aint selling you any more hooks Ruffo.

It's for your own good........

 

[watersdeep]

That thing is buried, OUCH!

 

[Rufo]

Hahaha, although it did cut short a great day of cabrilla fishing it wasn't my finger. It was my buddy. Look how he is holding the lure like a handle for his fish for the pic. It's a big jerkbait with two huge hooks.

Bad idea but you know what they say....it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, hahahaha!

Yes it was buried in the bone. Couldn't pull it out, couldn't push it through. Had to get it cut out. Fortunately the guys at the military checkpoint had everything necessary including a medic.

 

[watersdeep]

O U C H!

 

[Bottom Line]

I always remove the front hooks prior to fishing these types of lures.

[sundevil]

also, don't get stung by a string ray and sink your boat on the same trip. Ask Dizzyspots!

[mattador]

[Rufo]

Yes we stayed at Alfonsinas

Love seeing the whale sharks - got to paddle next to one for 30 minutes last November while kayak fishing...

Haha, that's pretty good advice Bert. Since it rained and wind howled for the first five days I was there that's all I did. Then my buddy shows up all excited to fish, the weather cleared up and see what happens, hahaha

 

[Brian S]

I got it backwards, I chugged a bunch of beer after it happened
