Hooked up!

Had an extraordinarily dumbass moment once while plugging for kings by myself. Was checkin' out a few spots before picking up friends later in the day, had a 20-25lb king in the net and reached into the net to unhook it without pliers. Unlike my normal setup of trailing treble only, I left the belly treble on this particular K-16 AND PROMPTLY FORGOT ABOUT IT...until the fish and I became one for a far too uncomfortably long time. Long story short, I had to dispatch the fish to unhook it, then drive downstream a few miles where a friend was fishing, borrow their pliers to remove the hook, use some of their bourbon to disinfect, then duct taped it all up, went and picked up friends, and kept on fishing.

Don't keep scrolling if you're squeamish.

Not sure why you would have bars on a spinner when the Kettle River is a single barbless hook river even for spinners.

Hi tightline4you
Well my friend that happened many years before there were regs on barbless lures/flies on the Kettle river.
Thanks for your comment and follow those rules even if they don't make sense.
