Poor Bob. He puts up with all the crap we put him through.

Not *only* did I somehow manage to tail-snag a nice 30+ lb hen with a bait diver on the retrieve, upon being released, the fish managed to inbed the hook in Bob's hand.

Ouch!

PS to Bob: I had a burn on my thumb for a good solid month after that fish. Just a bad habit I have when steelheading - I'll keep my thumb down on the spool when bringing in a fish and will pull my thumb off the spool when the fish takes line.
