I've sure been called a lot worse. Where you been hiding?

try sinking one thru your thumb and a fish on the other treble flopping around!!!! good thing i had my wire cutters handy. still ended up having to go to the doctor and get it out, but at least the fish wasn't flopping!!!

Be careful is right. I don't know how many times I've seen guys trying to get the treble hooks out of a fish while the pole is almost bent double with tension on the lure. One slip or flop of the fish and that sucker can come out with a vengeance and set the hook in your hand, fingers, face, or head. Or maybe both hands at the same time. Who knows.

Absolutely right. I still do it at times in the heat of the moment. Easy to do with those long rods. DP

This may sound lame but I fish mostly by myself and I'm afraid of something like that happening. I started using one of those catfish grippers when fishing by myself. Makes it a lot easier to control them.
