Now.... for the misadventure part of the trip....
While out fishing one morning, I caught a small Bass on a lure called a Hula Popper. I reeled the fish up to the boat and picked it up out of the water. As I was holding the fish, he shook its head and shook the lure out of its mouth and into my thumb. OUCH!!
As you can see by the pics, the hook went in pretty deep, so I knew I couldn't take it out myself. So off to the hospital we go.
They froze my thumb, cut the hook off the lure, then pushed the hook through my skin and pulled it out where the point of the hook popped out of my thumb.
