	YES!! And in the process of getting the fish off his arm, he got another treble hook embedded in the cuticle of his thumb. I seriously thought the guy was going to faint. Lots of drama. But it all ended well. prouboy

	Puckster wrote on Feb 9^th, 2014 at 2:55am: YES!! That is the worst case scenario. The biggest pike I ever had on - well over 40 inches - swallowed my crankbait deep in it's mouth. I didn't have a net or a grippers and usually would lift big fish out from under their jaw. Well, all I could think of is getting hooks embedded in my hand while attatched to the head of a 15-20 lb. pike. Yikes! Never tried it and he broke me off.

	About recent pics: Beautiful, {ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,OW, OW!!!}, Beautiful, Beautiful! About this... Puckster wrote on Feb 7^th, 2014 at 12:29am: Hey Mk631, thanks for the kind words. I've never commented on a name before, but are you related to R2-D2? prouboy No R2-D2 relation -- I don't do well having to pick a username quickly & I didn't know how long it'd last -- I thought I'd read the forum for a couple weeks or months. Now this is my 9th year on QJ & I've thought about changing that name because it's not the most meaningful, but at the time struck me as a good one. I was in serious obcessed/dreamy/planning mode about this place... (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) and liked their little tag line near the top of the page. Contracting the reference seemed to work as a username & now I'm stuck. Of course it's not all that appropriate for Quetico anyway, that'd be more like: "come away to some quiet place and work your ass off" -Tom

	I started going "barbless" years ago while fishing for stream trout. Much easier to let trout go without damage. Once I learned the key to barbless fishing, keeping tension on the line at all times, I didn't lose many fish. All my stick/baits have only the rear trebles and most have been replaced with the NeverSnag trebles I'm so high on. There a 2 treble hook design and with the weed guard feature, it would be pretty hard to snag yourself or others. All's well that ends well, but aside from the stories and removal tips, a treble in the wrong place could end or put a serious damper on a trip. Not counting the risk of infection or worse that could develop.

	I like your string of pictures Mike. You seem to have the ability to capture a bigger yet simple, uncluttered expression of the park. They are the images my minds eye remembers when I get home.

	Mike, Speaking about "mind's eye"... today's pic, is it north side of Pickerel near entrance to Stanton Bay? I realize there's got to be 1000 spots that look like THAT one but the background certainly triggered a flickering memory for me. Jimbo

	Hey Jim, actually it was taken on the Bloodvein River! Mike
