Snapper Injury

Tippin Slow · 06-15-2008, 02:01 PM

I found out the hard way about the razor sharp plate just forward of the gills on the Red Snapper. Missing a piece of my thumb thanks to one yesterday. Thought Id post just in case some are not aware.

Hard lesson!

For fishing, I know there are a ton of gloves out there, but Riffe (the speargun manufacturer) make a real nice pair for spearfishing, that are thin and allow good movement (trigger finger baby!) and have kevlar palm and fingers. You can shove your hands right up a snappers blowhole, and groupers too (they have rows of "teeth" in there gills). Barnicles on ships, pilings, ect...no prob.

I have been curios to see how they handle extreme punture force, and been tempted to try to stab myself in the hand, or shove my fist in a cuda's mouth!:letsdrink

MBT carries the gloves by the way.

That thing is so sharp I ofter wondered if you could just cut it off of one fish and use it to clean the rest!
