RE: Fishing Stories and Tall Tales
Here's a quick little story;
While fishing at a local stormwater pond my brother had biked over from my house to call me over for dinner. I wanted to take a couple more casts. My brother had walked down the hill that led to the little island I was fishing at. I was fly fishing, I took a couple more casts and on one of my last casts I pulled back (not really sure what it's actually called by it's when I pull back the line to cast) and yanked forward. My rod went to a quick halt then I hear a shriek followed by crying, at first I thought I had snagged a tree but after the scream I quickly changed my mind. I had deeply hooked my brother in the inside of his ear and he was going crazy. I had told him to try to be as calm as possible so I could take the hook out easier. After he had calmed down to a soft sob I had done a couple of slow regular pulls but the barb was preventing that from happening. So I thought of a way to bypass the barb. I would push the loop part of the hook down then pull out which would cause the barb to be clear of any skin. I had noticed that the hook was progressing forward so I knew it was working. I had kept using the same method and withing a couple more pulls the hook was free causing no damage to him and caused no cut besides the entry hole. We had gone home and now it's a story that we can both laugh about. THANK GOD IT WASN'T HIS EYE. When we were home he applied some disinfectant and was good to go. Giuga10 |
