Yes sir that sucks, I did that one time fishing a night tourney on the butler chain. I had one end of the rattle trap stuck in my thumb and the other in the fish, absolutely horrible!
Those who have done it agree that it is soooo hard to push thru skin.. When it actually went thru, the girls heard a loud "POP" when it came out !! Skin is alot harder than I ever thought!!! Either do it myself or let a Doc do it.. Why waste a good day fishing.. LOL
