I have been wearing a glove on my right hand while fishing to help mitigate the scrapes from handling braided line (and even repeated monofilament exposure).
I'm now going to go ahead and wear the other glove.
The three pricks are from a goatfish I was taking off the hook to release - jabbed me with his cheek spine repeatedly - obviously a blackbelt in spine-cheek-do.
The slice at the joint was from the big Ulua - got me with his caudal pecundel (part between the body and the tail fin) - large knife like structure. I am happy to report that it works like a knife.
The other picture is me dropping the fish after she took her last shots at me.
The price of fishing isn't just limited to sunburns and lost tackle.
