I'm C&R bluefish today when someone approachs me and ask if he can have the next fish. "Sure",I said "but your going to have to unhook it yourself". I landed this large blue, he then steps on the blue and puts his finger in its mouth to remove the plug. I immediately pryed the jaw with pliers so he can remove his bloody finger.
I said "you can lose your finger to these fish". He shows me the same hand and sure enough there is a finger missing due to a bandsaw accident. I said "your lucky you may of had two missing. He was unaware of the teeth of the blue. The finger was cut slightly and bandaged. He was still happy that I gave him fish and his wife and him thanked me.
I felt guilty because he was a good guy but who would knew that he was going to but his fingers in the jaws.
