There's a window ledge next to my bed that I keep lots of miscellaneous junk on. Last night that "junk" included a Rat'L'Trap and some dropshot hooks, as well as my headphones. Well after listening to a bunch of music last night, putting my headphones on the ledge, and falling asleep, I somehow pulled down the headphones into the bed and both the dropshot hooks and the lipless crankbait came with them.

So I woke up this morning and felt something hard underneath me: cannot believe the double trebles on that lipless crankbait or the Gammy dropshot hooks didn't get imbedded in my skin, I was laying right on top of both of them without a shirt.

 

Needless to say my baits will be staying in the tackle box from now on lol.

When i was a kid i had some crankbaits thrown in my closet and one got caught real good in a blanket so i asked my mom to get it out for me...she tugged on it a few times and it popped out and hooked about 3-4 of her fingers together she had to go to the hospital to get it out.when she got home she said they had a tool made just for getting fish hooks out and it didnt even hurt when the pulled them out!

Yeah I've probably gotten over 100 hooks stuck in my carpet or bedding. I store all my tackle and tinker around with it in my room, so accidents happen.

That's pretty crazy.  For some reason basketball shorts are treble hook magnets, literally everytime I wear basketball shorts fishing, hooks caught in them.  I still have a perfect record for not getting hooked past the barb, we'll see how long that lasts.

I recommend when sleeping with lures -  It really pays to Go Weedless . . .

 

Besides didn't the Senko lover season close last week ?

I get hooked by treble hook baits by just picking them up and looking at them.  If I slept all night on top of a Rat-L-Trap and woke up without so much as one single hook point stuck in my hide, I'd get dressed, run to the local convenience store, and buy a lottery ticket.

Here's a tip:  Clean your room! 

I just now started thinking about the "what if" ...

 

What if the lure hooked you good in the middle of the back AND hooked through the bed sheet to the mattress as well?    I think you are pretty darn lucky!

^^^ This ^^^ Keep those hooks away from sleeping areas. Lol!! 

We have two kitties so I never leave anything with hooks unattended, rarely do I bring lures in-house and this is big reason why. I would feel horrible if one of the little guys got hooked.

Kyle, fishing tackle and equipment always in their places.

All other clothes and belongings all over the place.

Rule #1 for your room or man cave.

That reminds me of a long time ago when my dog tried to figure out what a Red Eye Shad smelled like....
