reevesr1 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Worst hooking of myself: #14 Prince right in the lip. Wanted to feel like the trout. Found out it hurts, even without barb! Worst owee: Fly stuck in tree, to far up to get. I have 8# to the front #4 SJW with 6# to whatever was trailing. I pull down with my hand on the line, the trailing line snaps, and the SJW hits me in the knuckle at supersonic velocity. Now that REALLY hurt! I remember thinking "what if the hook would have hit first?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipestoneflyguy Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Its stampede week- if you ever needed an excuse to wear a cowboy hat there it is LOL- they do work great for protecting the melon and neck. Had to plier out a nymph with a barb out of a buddies bum last year. The look on my face when he walked up the bank (at Hector) and asked if I could pull something out of his ass ! Does anyone else suffer from pike-fly-paranoia-syndrome - it when I am pike fishing and I randomly (seemingly to those around anyway) dive for cover right after a forward haul in a crosswind - everyone is like,.. WTF Rob ? - yeah - thought that one was gonna get me, sorry- LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Same with bull flies, everytime I'm casting them I hope that a big gust of wind doesn't come up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravelman Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Lynnf i got it for a birthday present few years back so i dont know? Thats what did it to me on sunday a big gust of wind down in a canyon. Nothing like standing in front of a deep pool shaking in pain as your trying to rip it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
