    Great photo Dundee. You took it just as the eclipse shadow was moving on. Or was it one of those semi rainbows?

    Now you see Dundee, that is when you need a mate like me around. You know someone that doesn't give a shit if he hurts you. If I'd been there I would have grabbed a pair of pliers and just yanked it out for you!

    Excellent post. Clearly you are a spin fisherman with no reason to change to fly fishing Dundee. You catch a lot of trout.

    Dundee I am actually quite happy that it wasn't your finger and I did think that the gauge of the hook looked big for trout and had noted your previous advice to someone about cutting two of the jags off. I have know some "hard out" anglers that have done that sort of thing though and know that accidents can happen. Anyway glad it is not your finger as it would severely limit trigger time.
