I think you’re all wrong. She picks up the bike and she throws it back down As she wades through the buildings toward the center of town…oh no they say she’s got to go…. ;)
Ok the crazy dude got it down there , I wanna see that thing crawl back out! Wow, that's nuts, I've done some sketchy stuff on a track hoe but that is another level.
Yeah Jake, all of NE Ohio is sick today, such a good person too.. Was sad to watch, he's a fan favorite and at this time they're still keeping pretty secretive how much damage was done, (he's a pretty quiet, private person) only saying surgery likely scheduled within the next couple days... Sure hope he can make a comeback next year, hope it's not career ending...
Yeah, those fish-hooks are too valuable to just go clipping’em off…..
No Way that’s coming out without an anaesthetic…. Unless the hook was made barbless to begin with, perhaps. And even then it’d be Military Grade Unpleasant.
Plus getting that thing infected could cost you a finger in VERY short order. And chances are that whatever bait was on that hook was not surgically sterilized…..
I suppose in the backcountry you’d probably have to poke a hole in the nail and push it through ’til you had enough to pull on. But I don’t usually pack in enough Scotch for that…..
Guys - I'd just cry a lot looking at it, and hope to God that I could get it numbed up, and cleaned out dang well ha ha ha! It's pure horror, that image!
It's probably removable in the field..using wire cutters, cut the hook as close as possible to the finger, then using a hot piece of metal you'd burn through the fingernail enough so you can grab the point with some needle nose pliers. These steps should be relatively painless..and I say "relatively", meaning there will be some minor discomfort.
If you have alcohol (in any form) now would be the time to put a few drops on the hole in the fingernail, and then drink half of what's left.
Now, using your previously untapped reserve of testicular fortitude, dig in with the needle nose pliers and yank that bitch out of your thumb.
Immediately pour a few drops of the remaining alcohol on the thumb, and quickly drink the rest. It's a long way from your heart...you'll live.
I watched my father do that very thing..and then we went back to fishing.
