[QUOTE="---------------, post: 29215, member: 706"] A buddy and I were fishing a small tournament on the Res. I had a fish on both of my lines at the same time, so he abandoned the trolling motor to help out. He flung a 14 inch walleye into the boat and the stinger hook lodged in the inside of my elbow. There I am standing with a fish hanging from my arm, when the fish decides to flip out all over the place. I yell that I need help. My buddy grabs the other rod from me (thinking that was the help I needed) and flings a 4 pound Northern into the boat which instantly goes into a death roll and gets tangled up in my line which is already attached to my arm. Now I have 2 fish freaking out on the line pulling the hook deeper into my arm. I stomp on the Northern and my buddy unhooks the walleye, so now it only a matter of having a hook in my arm. I am mad and tell my buddy to just rip it through - I don't care about tearing the skin, I just want the hook out of my arm. So he grabs the line and starts yanking on it but not hard enough to pull it through - the skin stretches out about 3 inches each pull and hurts about 10 times worse than it did with both fish attached to it. We ended up cutting the hook and pushing it through. The entire ordeal lasted maybe 15 or 20 minutes all the while the boat was going in circles in the middle of the lake. I can only imagine what it looked like to anyone watching that circus. [/QUOTE]
