fisherchad+FollowBraided line cut through my hand like a knife! 🩸Was fighting this beast bass in heavy cover last month when my drag started slipping. Without thinking, I wrapped the braid around my hand for better leverage - huge mistake! That stuff sliced right through my palm like I grabbed a cheese wire. Turns out braid was originally used in surgical sutures and Kevlar vests because it's basically indestructible. Zero stretch plus that slight texture means it'll cut you before you even realize what's happening. Now I always use gloves when cinching knots tight or add a fluoro leader so I have something safer to grab when landing fish. Learned that lesson the hard way! Ever had braid give you a nasty cut during a fight? #fishing #braidedline #fishingfail #bassfishing #fishingline #fishinginjury #fishingsafety10Share
kdiaz+Followgot jabbed by a catfish spine once… never againHandle enough fish and sooner or later you’ll take a spine. I used to laugh it off—until a small channel cat drove its serrated pectoral spine right into my hand. The pain hit quick, a throbbing burn that wouldn’t let up, and the swelling had me convinced I’d left half that spine in there. Learned fast that catfish spines aren’t just sharp—they’ve got a mild venom that makes it ten times worse. Ever since, I grip them behind the fins like my life depends on it. Anyone else had a catfish spine story gone bad? #Fishing #CatfishTales #fishinginjury #Anglers 6366Share
