5 huge bonitos in a row with a none so happy ending
I am sharing a fishing video from a great day on the water, the day started great with 5 huge bonitos and then due to a wrong way to handle the fish I ended up on the hospital, I hooked myself on my thumb and on a huge Bonito at the same time, you will see all since how I hooked myself and how the hook was removed. Hope you people learn about what not to do, turn on the English subtitles. Cheers!

I’ve had a hook stuck in my hand 3 times now!
The first time a barracuda exactly like yours. It kept shaking like crazy, hurt so bad. Another time from a bass And 3rd time from a hook on an anchor line. I’m as careful as I can be at this point. |

I got a small treble in my thumb today mishandling a dink bass. Luckily I backed it right out after I got the fish released.

That looks painful... Nice bonito though! I remember like 20 years ago when I was fishing for Pike on a river in Michigan, my cousin slipped in the boat and threw an entire open tackle box full of lures into my face. Fortunately only a few of them stuck and the hooks were small and came out easily

I worked on sportfishing boats for about 5 years and never got a hook in my hand. 5 years of kayak fishing has put two hooks in my hands. Moral: despite the temptation to unhook by hand, always use pliers or some other unhooking device to remove hooks. Especially multiple treble hooks.

Thanks for sharing Carlos. I think there are a few valuable lessons in your video and I’ve shared it on our kayaking forum up north (NCKA) so we can learn from this. I hope your thumb is on the mend and you’re out slaying again soon!
