Well today was the first "outing" of '08 for me. I've had cabin fever so bad lately I've debated pulling a Low Budget Hooker and plowing ice (except it'd be more like 4-5" in a pond lol. Anyway, managed to find a river that isn't frozen. Alleluia. Drove over all bundled up (17 here today) and started throwin the shakey head. No hits for about an hour, then my buddy hooked himself hard. With his hand numbed by the cold, he reached into his pocket and caused his knuckle to assimilate with a jerkbait. Why he had a jerk in his pocket I don't know. But it went in past the barb, so he bit his tongue and pushed her all the way through out the other side of his finger. We cut the hook off and backed it out. Blood starts shooting everywhere of course, so he stuck his hand in a snow back and cleared it up. After a couple minutes he started puking so I thought that might have been a good time to call it quits. Ugh, the fish win again.

Wow!

LOL WTH

If you have any extra small plastic boxes you should donate one to your buddy.

These protectors work well when bank fishing and you wanna throw a few lures in your pocket.
