no, with knee and another with fishing buddies forehead
but if I MUST answer, sadly I can't touch fish. never taken my own off the hook. the last 5 times i tried i got salamandered so bat i bled for a week

fkng fish
so having someone with you to take them off the hook is hard enough, let alone the last fish i caught....
PETA moment (and I FKNG HATE peTARDS) was an 11" northern, and got himself into the weeds, foul-hooked him, and killed him in the process of taking him off (last I did myself). I actually did a report on northern in grade school, and were my most admired fish. I felt so bad killing that lowly whittle guy
also i really don;t eat seafood, i actually hate most of it. I was killing these fishes for sport, with no reason other than my own fun. (the most and ONLY liberal thought through my head)
haven't fished since then, and I have 5 rods with expensive reels, all told probably $1100 in equipment there alone back in 1998 prices.
