Ouch. It stuck in my nuckle on my right hand all the way in! I grabbed some plires and tried to pull it strait out....Not! It was really stuck in there, then I started to think the barb might be catching a tendond or something, so I had to poke it all the way through. Then I thought, hey get my camera! (check out photo section) then I got a pair of dikes and tried to cut the hook but was not strong enough with my left hand to cut it! Yes I was home alone! So I used the dikes to smash down the barb and finally backed out the hook. Thats when it started to hurt! 
I washed it out and put on a spiderman band-aid and now I'm all better. 
So a fishing I will go.So you guys that hang your baits in your lockers might want to think twice.
Mike, with your tip for the day!

Reminded me of a time @ pedro fishing a team tournament with my son, set the hook on a trash pocket bass on a rico topwater first thing in the morning. The lure missed the Bass and found my thigh all hooks well past the barb. I couldn't pull em out and was bleeding all over the boat so we cut off the lure and finished the tournament. went to Doctor's memorial in modesto and ran into a old salmon boat skipper ER doc who lidocaned up the area and ripped em out. Saw Bobby Barrack with a 5/0 hook sticking out of his eyebrow a few years back at a tournament. Thank god for antibiotics, booze and a dose of humility we get through these things! HAR!
