She caught something big and ugly.  It didn't put up much of a fight though.

Unfortunately no.

I was working on her bait with my rod propped up against the railing on the dock.  She decided to start fishing with mine and promptly hooked the tiny treble hook of the crankbait in the soft fleshy part of my inside bicep.  One tip just barely penetrated, the other penetrated past the barb.  I'm trying to control the rod so it doesn't dig deeper and she's freaking out because she "hurt daddy".  I finally get the rod away from her and cut the line so I can get her calmed down before she runs into the parking lot. 

Now I'm trying to console my daughter with a small crankbait dangling from my arm.  The entire time, I'm trying not to laugh.  It didn't hurt, but it was funny as heck because I'm trying to convince my daughter I'm ok with this lure dangling from my flesh.  She wasn't buying it.  After a few minutes, she calms down and I get to determine what to do next.  Do I drive to the hospital with this dangling from my arm (and catching my shirt sleeve) or do I just rip it out and deal with the aftermath?  I chose the latter, but was able to "stretch" the hole enough to get the barb out with ripping anything.  No blood, no damage.  It looks like two bug bites about 1/3" apart.

In the ER, when people would come in having hooked themselves with a big salmon hook and depending on just where the hook was, we would push the hook until the barb end came out of the skin, cut off the barb and then pull the hook back through the entry wound.  It is great that you were able to pull the barb out without ripping out chunks o' flesh.

Sounds like you both had one of those special daddy/daughter moments that will last a lifetime....  grin

When Chris told me about that this morning, he used the words "Big and ugly" to describe what Abby caught.

My response? "She hooked you, did she?" followed by protracted maniacal laughter.

It would have been much better had she started to reel him in...  laugh


Trust me, I'm big and ugly, but I put up one hell of a fight when I'm hooked...

Thanks for the update.  Here all this time I thought you were small and ugly  laugh
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Yeah but then Abby would just find something to hit you over the head with and then the fight would be over.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

"except your preferred pistol calibers"

Which ones?

You mean my .45 Springfield 1911, my .45 Smith & Wesson 1917, my .44 Special Smith & Wesson, or my .41 Magnum Smith & Wesson?
