Default Be Careful Out There Boys/Girls

Well today was nothing to brag about (Monday). Hooked up two nice fish, one boated and one lost boat side (please keep reeling)

The thread title is because a Captain out of Deale saw me out there today (I know several of them very well). He called to ask if I had anything onboard that would cut a 9/0 stinger hook That's not a good call.

His mate had a stinger run through his hand and out the other side!!! I told him that unfortunately, I didn't have anything to help him.

I'll get the details later, but I guess the fish flopped and buried it in his hand. I guess I'll go to Harbor Freight and get a pair of short bolt cutters (8-10 inches). I can spray them with Corrosion X and stick them in a sealed baggie for an emergency.

Who carries a pair, and what size will get through big stinger hooks?

So, we didn't catch many fish (although it was a perfect day for board rods to be popping every 15-20 minutes), but we had a better day than the injured mate
