Me n wifey went to Sardis this morning pulling cranks. Fished about an hour and caught a few before catching a small catfish. It flopped and hit my wife in the leg. It went in about 1.5". I had to cut it off because I couldn't pull it out. The folks at minor medical wouldn't touch it other than cleaning. Said it was to deep. This shows where it went in and the tip just starting back out.

Good luck to your wife.
I'm sure he will eat good when he grows up. He will be the one with one fin.

It's out. He pulled it out backwards. Would have made more sense to me to push it on thru since it was already coming out the skin. Thought the wife was going slug him.
ouch!
Ouch!!! and Double Ouch!!!
Wow surehope they can get that out, make sure her tetnus shot is up to date.
More reason to hate 'em!
Ouch man I hate it for her, glad they got it out but yall better watch it close the next few days. Hope it doesnt make her not to want to fish anymore?
That is plain nasty looking.Quote:

Should have just pulled it through . got barbs like a hook . I have to be careful I am allergic to them . stick one deep in my leg once , right in the calf got it out but couldn't get it to bleed the poison out . leg swoll up and drawed up 4 days I didn't know I was in the world . so ya'll watch that thing it's gonna be sore . take care of her .
Man, that's gotta hurt!!! Hurts me lookin at it!!!
I know how she feels. Last year at the last fruit jar of the year. (First tournament I ever thought about fishing). Someone unhooked my gas line from the gas tank and I almost run down my cranking battery trying to crank it. We had to fish in the marina with the trolling motor and caught our limit of fish(5.??) lbs. the first fish of the morning was a cat and when I swung him in I missed the line and the catfishs fin stuck in my leg through the vein. I hated to but I pulled the fin back out and it spurted blood 10 ft out the boat. We had pink duct tape in the boat and taped it around my leg to stop the bleeding. I hate cats pulling cranks
Ouch!!!!!
Good thing you took DonDon lessons!:RoflQuote:

Thats what I think. If the doc was familiar with one of those that's what he would have done. I could have done everything they did in the boat except a tetanus shot and X-ray.Quote:
