11 trout topwater in finger

[Texasm1976]

Well it started out a little slow in the surf and then the bait moved in and it was on. Everything was going good. I had three trout and went to take one off and the topwater got hung in the net. So I got a little mad at it and I yanked it in my finger. I called my buddy over to give me a hand getting it out but it was past the barb and not moving. So it was either go to doc or grow a pair. I told him to fish and let me think this over. After awhile I decided its coming out. He tried to pull it out but I didn't like so I grabbed the pliers and went to pulling and gritting my teeth and it finally came out. I just could not see wasting a good morning of fishing at docs office. Well we fished for awhile and ended up with 11 and alot of under size. We were at surfside.

Nice catch but use the string method next time. Probably a lot less painful.

I have heard of it but that hook was buried deep.

Look it up on YouTube. One guy buries a 9 hook in his buddies arm past the barb and pulls it out like nothing.

I think I will but I am 36 and been fishing all my life and this is my first. Not saying it won't happen again.

I had never heard about it before until here. Luckily I have never had it happen to me before but only being 20 I'm sure it will happen in the future. But know I'll be prepared haha

Very nice.....I'm a hook puller myself....My buddy almost passed out when he had to do one of mine and a couple years earlier when I had to do one of his.........

Try this string technique next time.....I learned this after some plier pullings when I was young..



Nice catch!
