Big Mistake;

[Jackbass]

This was how my 09 season started. Last time I set a hook on my self. I was able to push it through and cut it with out much difficulty. I carry mini bolt cutters now. I wasnt even fishing at the time. I was loading the plug bag and dropped a plug I had made off the pug hanging chain and instinctively went to grab it and caught the thumb on an adjacent plug

I have had them in my hand...fingers...and once, when tightening the knot, in the face(lure slipped while I was cinching knot with teeth)...thought Biteme would pass out from that one...some I was able to pop through and cut...some not...and one I cut the hook and left enough for the doctor to work and kept fishing... hurt every time I banged the hook nub post on something.

NOW...everything is barbless...

This is how my Saturday went. Thanks WestportMafia for this plug you left on the boat.

can't post the same pic twice so here's the link to a good one.

I almost caught an AH metal lip in the face the same way Wednesday night. Got snagged and gave it a good yank. It was so dark that I could't see it but I knew it came out of the water. I turned away and it hit me in the side of the head. Got my rain hood and jacket. Dodged one....
