Keaton Beach 4/18; Bad Things Happen In Three (or Four)

[Jumptrout51]

Very eventful. Sorry about all the problems.
At least your Doctor was better than the one Trouttrent had.
Last year he went to the clinic with a hook in the finger.
The Doc deadend the finger then proceeded to cut the WRONG finger. True story.

That is one rough day. Sorry to hear about all that bad luck landing on you at once.

Not good at all not good at all
Glad you made it off the water though

Sorry for your troubles Ron. I can relate. Anyone who spends much time on the water has had days like that.

I have had some experience with hook removal on my boat. Below is a great medical article which gives some pointers on getting one out on the boat (assuming it is not in a critical area). I have used the string method many times and it works like a charm.

Next time will be much better for sure, Ron! Are we going to see y'all in St. Joe?

[SHOWBOAT]

sorry to hear it Ron. Hope the finger feels better. What kind of rod is that?

[Ron Wilson]

Thanks All. Tilldawg. I've seen the string pull method on T.V. and was thinking about giving that a try. Couldn't rememebr the last time I had a tetanus shot, so decided I better play it safe and add that to the list.

Casey, hoping so. We had a great time last year. I like fishing PSJ.
