Me trying to get it out of his mouth with my non-dominant hand while trying not to cause him thrash anymore had to be comedic, y'know if it wasn't me. Somehow it was the first time it's happened in my many years of fishing. Nurse said he's removed over 50 this summer alone helped me feel better. Proud Winner of the 2024 Deuce ROY Award

Got a trolling motor for my fishing boat. Makes life so much easier*
