Cool, breezy morning, winds out of the North 15-20, front passed last night. Decisions... decisions.... don't know where I'm going yet. One thing is for sure, I'm not in rush to leave.

Windy & cold......the week before Barry recommended that I tie on a spinner bait.....I tied on the same color chatterbait instead.....no luck.....switched to a spinner bait and caught some.......yesterday I went with it pretty early and was catching them in shallow water with wood......this made for some interesting fights because we all know where bass head when you hook 'em........I was actually going to leave this area within a couple of casts when boom she came out from under a lay down and smoked it. She didn't like the net but there was no way I was boat flipping it.

Where to go.... where to go?? There has been a surge of boats in the glades for quite some time, and every day. Although from what I hear they are not bass fisherman per say, but more like oscar hunters. None-the-less there have been more boats out there than normal. I have an idea, let's see if it pays off.

BarryFL · April 07, 2021, 08:15:08 AM

FYI ... Ott DeFoe did a Hunt for Monster Bass episode in the Everglades that aired this past Sat. Caught a 7lber so everyone and their brother will be out there this week.

Soooo my fishing trip has been cut short. Sitting in an ER typing this out killing time. Damn treble hook struck again. Had a fish, it wiggled loose, hook went into my index finger good.
Problem #1, I had the fish in one hand, got hooked in my other hand, and my rod is between both hands. Nothing I could think of to free up my hands. I did remember there was another boat on another canal. Got on the TM and found the boaters.

Problem #2, one of the gentlemen managed to carefully remove the fish. Next was attempting to remove the hook. I had a wire cutter in the boat, and as I handed the cutters to gentleman, I thought he was going to cut the split ring, to isolate the treble hook. Instead he cut the treble level to my wound!! Noooo..... doh!!!

With the hook deep in finger, I thanked everyone for their help, packed up, and made the run back to the ramp. Got home, switched vehicles, and here I am waiting at the ER. Stay tuned. Smh...

BarryFL · April 07, 2021, 12:05:42 PM

Ouch. Once the guy cut the hook off, you lost the option of jerking it out yourself with the string method. Good luck!

Yep, pretty much. Tx.

Capt. BassinLou · April 07, 2021, 12:54:54 PM

Finger is numbed up and feels like a sausage. Tools are on the table, let's see how this goes.

Capt. BassinLou · April 07, 2021, 01:16:17 PM

All done. Waiting to be discharged.

BarryFL · April 07, 2021, 01:41:07 PM

Ask them for some little rubber finger condoms to protect it while fishing for a few days.

I should have, didn't think about that.

FishaHallic · April 07, 2021, 02:48:59 PM

Ouch that hurts, too bad they took a simple solution of cutting split ring and cut off the hook instead. Do you get AOY points for catching fingers?

Lol!! Nope!

FlatsNBay · April 07, 2021, 03:27:01 PM

Lou hasn't given us a public safety reminder in a while so he up and hooks himself twice. Thanks for reminder for us to be more careful!

Man, I'm sure that hurt!!

yeah it wasn't pleasant.

Dr told me to man up next time and have someone cut the hook correctly next time, and drive the hook through the other side. I said, "Yeah.... I will just come to the ER again..."
