Today was a pretty unusual day.
The day started with me waking up around 6:30 at Michelle’s. I did the normal morning things and when i found my phone and checked my text. I had a message from Jason reminding me that we were going to go fishing. So I responded to him letting him know that I wanted to but I would not be on time. So we decided to meet at the boat launch.
When i arrived i took all my fishing gear out of my truck and walk out on the pier and sat down and started to open stuff up. I decided i wanted to change lures I went to cut the Lure off my line with needle nose pliers and when I pulled the line the lure stuck right into my pinky finger. It didn’t really hurt too bad at that moment. I figured that i had just hooked myself skin deep. Then i went to back the hook out and OMG. This was not so good. it hurt Like HECK. It made my stomach weak and i felt dizzy.
I decided to wait a couple minuets to see if the pain would pass. Then Jason’s dad walked out the pier and saw my finger and suggested I went home and put some ice on it then back it out myself. There was no way i was going to be able to do that. I am too much of a baby when it comes to any pain at all. So Jason picked up all of my fishing equipment and his own and drove me to the Dr here in Byron.
They gave me 3 shots in the pinky and soaked it in some red stuff i figured to clean it. Then the dr pulls out some bolt cutters that were big enough to cut my finger off. Then he snipped the lure off and all that was left was the hook part inside my finger. Then he grabbed pliers out of his toy box and pushed the hook all the way out through a new hole. I couldn’t look but Jason watched the whole thing. Then I took a pic and replied to some text messages that I had received while in the Dr office
I signed the papers they needed me to and left. We went to the gas station and got something to drink. Then i got a call and had to go back to the Dr. they forgot to give me a tetanus shot. So i went back for that and was only in there a few minuets.
Finally got back to the boat launch and unloaded the fishing equiptment again and started fishing. I caught a little sheep head quickly and Jason hooked one and just as he brought it out of the water it flipped off. I then casted and jigged around the rocks on shore and hooked a nice bass. jason started to get sleepy so he headed home and i fished a short time longer and caught the teeny weenie baby bassey.
Thats the day. if you took enough time to read this post then please take a few more mins and leave some comments for me.

I don’t know Jim, we’ve had ALOT of things happen when we’ve been fishing…#%^#*)(^#%?….
but never had to go to DOCTORS to have a HOOK removed. I thought you knew, the hook is what catches the fish, not the fisherman, Must be someyhing Aunt Dollie taught you. ha ha

Its just one of those things that happened. I don’t want to blame it on anyone. It doesn’t hurt too much today so i figure it will be okay.
Just got back from fishing today and kept the hooks out of me and into the fish.

Taylor and I were looking at the pictures, she wanted to see the hook in Uncle Jim’s finger..
she said she wants to go fishing with Daddy and Uncle Jim because she is good at digging in the dirt to find worms.. well that’s what she said .

Would have been nice to have Taylor to dig up some worms for me today. I ran out. O-well it was a good time for me to leave anyway.
