Good 'Karma' !!

Attachment 175265Fishing with 'FHNB' you always want your fishers to catch fish,,,no matter what size or species. I started looking for brush-piles that would provide needed bites. That didn't work so off to the standing timber. Couple of hrs. and that wasn't the trick.:dono Water temps in the lower 70's & over a ft of clarity should be able to find some biters. Knowing there was going to be a lite southerly breeze, looked for chanel breaks, close to the south shores. Map showed some breaks up towards the dam. Perfect,,, if I can get some bites. Going across from low to high spotted some hanging in 22 to 25ft deep. Prolly :bangheadthose ,egg eating, white perch. Dropped a K-rigg down and immediately caught a 10in crappie. Seem too deep but there they were. Fished this area both days. They moved around but never left that depth. Caught crappies, walleyes, white perch, and small blues. GREAT:ThumbsUp,,,it was just what I was looking for. The bonus was a couple of 'slabs' in with all of them. Had helpers on the boat at all times. Sunday morning I was blessed with Ray Tole as a pardner helping. The bite was as good as one would hope with doubles caught. All three fisher were catching faster than Ray could keep the score sheet updated. In the heat of the bite,,, I stepped back only to lose my footing and fell. I hit just about everything & everybody trying to recover. Ray was unhooking a fish as my arms hit the pole. Afterwards ,Ray looked at me and said he needed some help. OMG,:yikes he has a hook buried in his thumb. I have had to remove hooks before, so I wasn't in shock but not anybody else in the boat. Got the string out, doubled it, had Ray hold the hook eye down, and I popped it right out. A band-aid, and back to fishing. Everybody needs to know how to do this. Thanks Ray!! Anyway, It was a fantastic:highfive time with 'FHNB' as always. Now, I hope this good deed will follow me out to Glen next week. <*)}}}><

Good job Chatt

Good post Chatt.

Yes everyone should know how to use the hook extraction technique using fishing line. I’ve had it used on me and it works great.

Here is a video showing how slick it can work.

Here is another video which is really a waste of time trying to show this technique. I think the reason they failed was that they were concentrating too much on just pushing down on the eye of the hook and they should have been pushing down on the shank of the hook forcing it to be more parallel with skin. This downward pressure on the hook shank is not forcing the hook point deeper but forcing the hook to come back out without the barb catching skin on the way out. This would have kept downwards pressure applied longer and not have the hook pulled immediately out from the down pressure applied by the thumb IMHO.
