dude that sucks!!!!

but glad it wasnt serious.

StinkyMatt · 08-30-2012, 07:42 PM

Looks like at least 60 to 90 days off from fishing. Got to let it heal properly.

Don't worry, the bite should still be red hot around the end of November.

That looked pretty nasty, I'm sure you got yourself some good mojo out of that.

roby · 08-30-2012, 08:20 PM

Definitely good mojo coming your way....

If I were you, I would go to Irvine Lake tomorrow and catch a La Jolla Slam.

Sorry to hear your great day ended in the ER but thanks for the pictures

It looks like your dog is having a blast.
I think you earned some Karma points and a Security token.

YakMedic · 08-30-2012, 08:28 PM

Wow Drake, even representing with a BWE hat in the ER. I would say you earned Karma points but by some of the fish you put up recently maybe it was Poseiden's revenge.

Nice looking out for the other kayaker and bystanders. Once it's healed it will be a better memory.

holy shit dude... Mustads for the win!

looks like you had a fun day though. you must have been sweating, peddling around La Jolla without a rod in hand.

boxturtle · 08-30-2012, 09:04 PM

Should submit your story to mustad hooks so they can market how strong their hooks are

Dennis · 08-30-2012, 09:06 PM

Good man, drake.

Looks like 60-90 days off work so you can recoop and relax (at LJ?)! Sorry about the injury. Thanks for the story-good reminder to be careful.

jorluivil · 08-31-2012, 01:47 AM

Ouch!!!

But at least he got his rod back

bellcon · 08-31-2012, 07:32 AM

These will do the job

8" mini bolt cutters=

Don't leave home with out them!
(although I rarely bring them on the water, they will cut that hook like butter)

T-Rex · 08-31-2012, 08:05 AM

ER photos! Classic! I'm sure you'll eventually get some karma for your good deed.

wade · 08-31-2012, 08:05 AM

Sorry to hear about your hand Neil. The cutters Don just posted, I keep in the bottom of my dry bag always. just the other day, i had a huge barracuda go berserker while trying to release it, and he implanted a nice one into the webbing of my hand..f ing slime logs..
