Jeebus that one in the foot would have tickled!
Wish the couple I've had had gone threw so I could cut the barb off & remove them myself.
Don't like ending up in A&E .
I always thought that the hook was for catching the fish with.
ouch to all of those. OOO the soreness.
Saw a couple comming in to the ramp last night, one lot backed the trailer off the side of the ramp not once but twice:D then the other way blocking of the old mans lane:pissed off:
Then while we were putting the chain on the front of boat they guys loading on the other side of us vehicle started rolling back into the tide:D The old man saw it quick and lept in the passenger side ripped up the hand brake that did f all and ended up ramming the auto they had left in N:wtfsmilie: into P to stop it just before it got deep enough to fill with salt.
We got a feed:)
Where to start ... knives vs fingers & thumbs, Barrocouta vs bare foot (once), hand (couple of times). the old mad put a knife into his hand trying to open an oyster.
Funniest was when a mate of mine hit himself in the face with a 16oz sinker. (well its funny now)
Worst was helping do CPR a poor bugger that had a heart attack pushing his boat off his trailer.
Oh and the small matter of me and a stingray.
Yip fishing is just sooo relaxing!!:thumbsup:

Wasn't a great way to ruin a boys weekend of fishing.
Beer in fridge, scallops and fish in chilly bin...Drop me here guys I'll just grab us a cray and well head in for a beer. :(
Shads of Steve Irwin there. A lucky escape really.
Hell yes, I was very lucky.. the doc told me about a tourist he treated the summer before took one to the chest punctured lung etc... 2 months in hospital.
I had one swim up in front of my mask from underneath me on a night dive once. I had obviously disturbed it. Makes the heart pound I can tell you.
I stood on a ray or something dragging the deep end of flounder net when I was a young fulla,got stabbed in the back of the calf.Swelled up larger than my thigh(not very big:D)
we had a fishing misshap last night.............They wouldnt bit the lures we kept landing on their fuckn heads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had a real scary mishap years ago salmon fishing in the Waitaki river. Hooked a salmon and was walking along a bank about 2 metres above the river when the bank gave way and i went straight into the main stream of the river. Luckily it was near the end of a run and got shallow about 20 metres downstream. By that stage my waders were full of water and i could hardly move. Cut the line with my knife and just dragged myself out which was quite an effort. Just lay there on the stones thinking how fuckin lucky i was. Always tied the tops of my waders with some baleing twine after that. Never been so scared before or since.
Another time had a mishap while whitebaiting down the mouth of the waitaki. Anyone who knows those stoney river mouths will no doubt know about the waves that wash behind you. All you feel is the stones going out from under your feet as you head into the water. Managed to throw my net around to the next fisher who grabbed hold of it to stop me going in. Scary, but not as bad as falling in.
Bloody hell Navman!! thats some serious "i'm in the shit moments". thanks for sharing.
Glad your still here to share your yarn.
Just got a message from a mate he missed the eel with a spear..........don't ask me how but he is in Palmy Hospital now

He just wanted to be wolverine!!
Please tell me that does not have a barb?!?!?!
Man I bet that tickles.
Wonder how it happened?
Or used front hand as guide and pulled back too far
Pic #8 at the start of this thread is a hair rig used in course fishing, mainly for carp. The irony is that it is also known as the Self hooking rig :) It worked !!
It hurts just thinking about it
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...................... ......bugger me, I'm glad that's not me. Ouch looks like an understatement. :(
Fuk guys, ive had my legs crossed for most of this thread.........'touch wood' nothing as bad as ive seen here!!!!!!

Some of those first pics remind me a school fishing trip (primary school).
So we walked in single file along the road with rods ready and slung over my shoulder.
After a while my rod was caught on something, so a bit of a yank to 'free it' but ended up setting it in the ear of the girl behind me.
Principal got a pair of pillars and whipped it out pretty quick
after looking at the photos, crushing the barbs before going out fishing would make it a lot easier to get out and more sporting. as long as you keep pressure on the fish, they won't drop the hook.
f##k there is some awful injures in those pics….
maybe I'm getting soft
I remember my bro catching a nosey kid in the same place down at the wharf, wound his handline in and this kid sticks his noggin in the way to see if my bro caught anything, up congress the hooks and straight thru the kids ear, funny as…but the kid didn't think so
