(Note: Jack is Pat's, high school age son... OTIS, is a fairly young adolescent, Golden Retriever... Both of Pats kids ski, he was probably at his daughters ski meet. Normally I would think treble hooks, are spelled, treble, not trouble, but in this case, I it's probably appropriate): "Patrick Nelson February 6 · So today when I’m three hours north of Minneapolis at Giants Ridge in Biwabik Minnesota for the section 7 ski meet. I get a call from Jack saying?? Emergency!! Otis got into Jack’s tacklebox and ate a crank bait with two trouble hooks. One was buried in his upper lip the other was buried underneath his tongue in his tongue. Jack and Ben were able to wrestle and hold Otis down, hold his mouth open got the treble hook in his upper Lip out fairly easy and the after several Battling tries, cut the bottom of the tongue hooks with a wire cutter at first. Three hours later when I got home, the three of us wrestled him down held his tongue up and were able to extract the two cut off hooks from the bottom of his tongue. I hope this Dog learned a lesson!" ======= Becareful with your dog, and their access to your tackle box. |

LightFish: " I will have to pass this intellectual break down over to MT and get his professional opinion on it. I got it! I bet it was fish attractant that does not work on fish but works on dogs! " What I have been advocating as of late is the removal of all hooks. In true modern sporting ethos and politically correct ethics we should not be using hooks anyway. This potential tragedy and disaster could of been averted with a few government imposed mandates which would not only benefit our fish stocks, but would also prevent errant injuries to fisher people due to erroneously self imbedded hooks..........and, apparently, keep our faithful canines safe as well.
