Here is a fun video of some friends helping to remove a hook from my finger yesterday.

Did that hurt as much as it looked like? Did you get a tetanus booster afterwards?

Sorry to hear. I was really hoping for inevitable future-hooked me that you'd answer "no" to the first part. So how'd that happen in the first place?

Absolutely operator error.  After a day of steelhead fishing on the coast, we were cleaning out the boat.  Without paying attention, I slid my hand down the rod to pick it up out of the boat, plunging my finger into the hook of the hotshot plug.  I kinda got pinned to the rod at the hook keeper for a minute.
