Default Almost lost a thumb.....

So I'm fishing on the potomac, and I land this nice 3lb snakhead, nothing compared to the 15lber i caught on friday but so as i'm removing the hook this bastard decided to chomp down on my thumb! Im sitting there for five minutes trying to open its mouth but they are really bony and strong, and it was hurting like a mother since they also have sharp teeth. So I had to stab it through the head

thats my fishing story for today haha

Actually your thumb is very important. Can you imagine the things you can't do without your thumb? Hold a chopstick, play video games, hold a pen, play thumb wrestling ....

Dang, good to see you still have all your fingers. Those things are some dirty little SOBs. Had the displeasure of catching one last year.

wow. I was fishing in Florida on vacation a few years back and caught something called a sheeps head. The thing was only like 5lbs and it had teeth just like a person, ***** bit me when i was trying to take the hook out of his mouth and BROKE the skin! OUCH! So i went to toss his *** back in the ocean with the line on him and he spiked me in the palm of my hand with his back little pokey fin thing. Turns out they have some kindof poisin in those spikey things and my hand got all infected. I don't fish anymore.
