I read a lot about issues we have on the water with discourteous boaters, and I've experienced some as well. However, yesterday was the opposite. I did a first for me, and ran a heavy live bait hook deep through the side and end of my ring finger. Fortunately, the barb made it outside the of skin. I grabbed my pliers with side cutters, but both broke when I tried to cut off the barb. With no other options, I planned to head in, but another boater idling by let me use his nippers. A quick snip and I backed the hook out. I just wanted to thank the fellow fishermen for for their kindness and help. It made resolution quick and relatively easy. If you folks are on this board, thanks again, I really appreciate the assistance and courtesy.
Thanks Again, SWD

Pictures, or it never happened!! Shocked

(Just messing with you. Glad you got it resolved without too many issues. There are still some good folks out there.
Now, one word - Peroxide, and lots of it!).

Glad you were able to get help. And hope the finger doesn't get infected.

Oops. It always hurts worse the next day. I have snagged a few fingers but never set the hook that hard. Nice to hear some people are still willing to help out. Hopefully you caught some fish.
