pawpaw about died when he got finned. it cut him pretty good. years of commercial fishing and it had never happened that bad before.Lol.

The worst (and first) one I ever got was under much thumbnail. I was unhooking one when it twisted, and the side spine went halfway to the quick. I was about 11 years old.pawpaw about died when he got finned. it cut him pretty good. years of commercial fishing and it had never happened that bad before.
