Saturday's Warrior, Damsel Style

There are times that I learn lessons the hard way.  I guess that it could be a bit of stubbornness.  All I know is that there is a thing called a hemostat.  It is designed to take out that hook out of your fish's mouth.  Not your fingers!  One of my catches yesterday, didn't like me trying to help him at all.  I'm laughing in the picture, simply because he also just gave me the hardest fish slap that I have ever felt !   A free puffy lip look without the cost of injections!   

That was after the initial toothy rips to the skin...



Sportsman's Warehouse... $2.99


So, ask me how my day was...
This cutbow made his way to my net after taunting me for twenty minutes...  Buddy, I'm not getting any younger!  =)


And a few fatty bows with rosy cheeks.


All in all, a spectacular day with the warm sunshine softening the snow at the end of the day just enough for my next step to fall through the 20 in and try to get out again!  I finally decided that it was easier to crawl out slowly across the next 100 ft.  Lol.  The things I do.  Someone should have had that on video.  =)   Remember my new exercise plan???  Don't think this was a part of it...

Have a great week!

      Yep, FA! They can just keep the fly... haha. No, seriously, I know better to hand remove that fly. Sure don't get into too many cutbow, so that was a treat!

    NICE fish! By the way, hemostats weren't designed to remove hooks. That's just an extra benefit.

      Howard ~ Well, I'm not planning on any other surgeries, so I will keep them for the fish. =)

      Bill ~ No bueno! I would have been weak kneed through that kind of trauma... No worries. I plan on being more careful and with the proper tools!
