I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Looks a lot worse than it is,
Looks a lot worse than it is, the hook went in essentially parallel with my wrist so the hook only went through the skin and not into the "meat". A quick trip to Joondalup Health Campus and all sorted. Only fun part was cutting a hole to push the point through to cut it off with bolt cutters!
Will probably pay my assist hooks a little more respect from here on...

Not exactly sure how it
Not exactly sure how it happened either, was flicking a jig out and I think the FG knot must have got caught in the top guide resulting in the jig swinging back at me. My instinct was to catch it which is where things went pear shaped!

Surgery
With so many different shaped hooks on the market now try to take another hook of the same shape in with you so they have some idea of what they are dealing with.
My two boys were wetlining some 5nm from where I was fishing and they called up to say one had got a tuna circle in the palm of his hand, they steamed over for me to have a look and I told them to head in and give the doctor a call in advance and to take another hook in with them to show him.
They reckon the doc took 5 minutes looking back and forwards between the hook and the hand before cutting it out resulting in 4-5 stitches.

Windy early so picked up a few sandies in close, deliceous tonite deep fried. Searched for sambos everywhere, picked the odd fish up here and there but very sparse, then finally found a lump in the 30's loaded with sambos, doubel hookup first drop, I got bricked on PE3, other deckie got a nice fish in on PE5 and Tim hooked a 6ft, 4 inch, 102 kg slightly ungainly human.............at which point the fun stopped.

As mentioned last night mate
As mentioned last night mate - zero barbs at Vanuatu haha.
Looks painful, but not as bad as an ST66 5/0 to the cheek with a full cast behind it.
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
