Well the day started off great we got to the lake about 12:30 and beat the bank for a while flipping some brush etc. didnt have much luck there so we went out to a main lake hump that comes from about 15 feet to 3 and within just a minute or two I landed a 4.23 on a swimbait. About two casts later 2.4 then nothing for a few minutes. Since there was only one other boat on the lake I decided to run and try an area that usually produces for me but nothing today. Went back to the hump and nailed another 4+ first cast on the swimbait again. Then after taking my picture for me Ben aka crankbaitkid as his name needs to be changed to decided it would be funny to jump up and down and land on a nice new treble hook. After being a giant sissy and not letting me yank it out of his foot and crying hysterically for about 10 minutes he decided we needed to head for the emergency room. All of this happened at about 2:30. I think it was his jealousy over me putting the skunk on him and catching these nice fish that led to this whole situation. So we arrive at the Floyd County Hospital at around 3:30. Get him admitted and proceed to do nothing but make fun of him for at least a good 2 hours before they took him back. I tried getting him to stick his foot in the fish tank and try to get the skunk off him but he wouldnt do it. So anyways we went back they shoved the hook through and cut the barb off and pulled it back through. I am sure it was a lot less painful than he let on but we did get to see some hot nurses out of the deal.
