I agree about the ER bill. I’ve worked ER and the best way is the string around the shank. Fastest and least painful. I’ve done it a hundred times and its worked every time. Carry a piece of heavy line in case it happens to me while fishing. Antibiotics a good idea, but plain ole soap and water is the best bet. Take care of it and you will be filling the live well in no time.Quote:

Trip to ER and all he really did was tie a string around it and was talking to me to keep me occupied and then jerked it real fast! I'll say once you do that a time or two, you get a little skittish!!!
The line trick wouldve had that one out lickidy split
I noticed you caught a catfish, slime off the belly will stop pain and is a great antibiotic. This is true! Sorry about the wound. Good day for you, otherwise.
Been there, done that, ain't no fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
