This has gotta hurt...

and everyone knows there is only one way to take this one out...

Oh HELL no!

That's enough to convince me to go barbless from now on!

One could always cut that fingertip off instead?
 Either way, glad it's not me and a good reason to go barbless.

Last week I got my change to barbless lesson.

Been preachin' for a while now.   

Holy sh@t that looks awful.

One could always cut that fingertip off instead?

Channel your inner Ronnie Lott.

That is hwy I fish barbless.  Haven't had a barb on a fly ever since I started fly fishing.

How about this one.

Ohhhhhhh the horror!

Ahhh this thread needs a warning.

I had a salmon egg hook go through my pinky finger before. It was such a b to get it out

Damn!!!!

I got one like matts last year. Had a small treble fall into my scupper plug. When I looked down I notice my plug wasn't seated,pushed it down dead center with my index finger. That's where I found the hook I drop earlier.
