| My grand daughter Allee marches to the tune of a different drum and she often talks me into marching with her. First she "Decided" that I needed to curl my moustache so I'd look like a pirate. I said, ok. No problem. I can grow hair on my lip and in my ears but not so well on my head anymore. Next she decided I needed to shave my head. Her arguement made sense; a haircut is 8 bucks and another 5 bucks to get to town and back. Sooo, I now shave my head every other day. No problem! Honestly, I don't know why I didn't start this 10 years ago. A week or so ago, she decided I needed an ear ring to go with the "Pirate look." I didn't want a ring or a stud so I decided to go with a 4/0 SS Circle Hook. She polished one up, sterilized it and tried to get that big sucker through my ear lobe with a Hemostat. It hurt, and bled like heck but didn't go through because the Hemostat was too darn wimpy. I went to the shop and got 8" Vise Grips. She didn't get the hook clamped securely and managed to botch the hole a bunch when the hook slipped. I clamped the hook securely and this time, it got to bleeding so bad she got sick. Dammmmmmmmmnnnnn, that hurt baaaaaaaddd but the hook wouldn't go through. About that time, my wife came in and saw the carnage and took over. She drove a large pin through and put something on the back after cutting the pin off with my fishing pliers. She said she wanted it to heal before stretching the hole big enough for the hook. No, I wasn't drunk and I wasn't high either. I'll admit to being stupid. The girls who have their XXXX pierced and their YYYYYYY pierced are either tougher than I am or totally wasted when it was done. Don't come near my ZZZZ with anything sharp. I might go ahead with the circle hook if the hole stretches enough but I'll have a snort or two first. I took Allee to the airport this morning for a month long visit with her Mom. When I left her at the gate she said, "I expect to see the hook in your ear when I get home." We'll see.

| Totally agree with tunaman, 60hertz, and backlash, no way in hell would I put a 4/0 hook in my ear. I've accidently stuck myself and that didn't feel good so I wouldn't be volunteering to stab myself in the ear. Quick thought, what if your working of doing whatever and that hook gets caught on something, a 4/0 hook doesn't have a problem pulling a snapper up from 70 ft, I don't think it would be much of a problem for that thing to rip your ear off.

| The last year I chartered full time I was hooked 11 times. Fly fishing clients were hard on me. A Clouser Minnow is deadly. I hate them. Luckily, most were with Sabiki rigs and I had no problem yanking them out with pliers. I don't allow stinger rigs on my boat. Two were with Stretch 30's with fish on them. That dang well hurts but I was able to get them out without coming in. Only one was a 12/0 circle hook and I still don't know how it happened. When I was in the 6th grade I went fishing before school and went to school with a 9 hook Lucky 13 in my shirt pocket. Danny Brown picked me up (I was the class runt) and threw me into Frank Dean. One hook went completely through my left nipple and another went through Frank's nose. (Completely through.) That was about the 5th hook Dr. Horne had removed from me by that time. The hook for my ear has been de-barbed and, for the moment, it is deadly sharp. I'll clip and file the point after I get it through. I seldom have to get someone else to remove a hook from me but I can't always reach a Sabiki hook. The key to removing a hook is to do it right now. Don't screw around and let it swell. I use pliers rather than string. Grasp the hook, push the point down and in to get flesh from out of the barb then back it out in one quick move. It feels so good when it is out! I poked a 2/0 into my thumb for a video on hook removal only to find out that the battery in the camera was dead. We shot a few stills of the removal process. BTW, The hook and my skin were sterilized before I hooked myself. I'll try to find the photos.

| Anytime something hurts pretty bad, I think of this tale. A guy cut two fingers off in an industrial accident. When he got to the Doctor, the Doctor said, "Man that must hurt." The guy said, "Yeah, it hurts a little but I've been hurt a lot worse." The Doctor said, "How about telling me about it." The guy said, "When I was a young man, I lived in Alaska for a while. We had lots of Grizzly Bears and one started harassing our cows and horses. My Dad set a bear trap near our outhouse. One night, the Grizzly tore up our outhouse. I had to crap so I took the rifle and squatted down out back. Unfortunately for me, I squatted right over the bear trap and it slamed shut on my nutz." The Doctor said, "I'll bet that hurt." The guy said, "Yeah, it hurt a bunch but I've been hurt a lot worse." "Hurt worse?" the Doctor cried, "How can that be?" "When the slack came out of the chain."

| So CaptKen, with all respect, are you the same guy we hear the story about who decided to test a taser on himself while in his lounge chair with the cat laying next to him? Understand, I can relate to having only granddaughers, and the fact that I only raised boys complicates matters.

| No, I wasn't the one with the Taser but I'm probably only a tad smarter than the guy. My son will never forget asking how a spark plug worked and I showed him. His first son will probably be born in the next day or so. I wonder if he'll be taught in the same way his dad was? My son turned out just fine, regardless of me. I only wish every dad could be as proud of his sons as I am of mine. My son is a fine man and a great father.

Both my sons experienced the same "hold this" during their lesson on lawnmower repair. I have always felt a bit guilty about doing that (only a few seconds at a time) glad to see others have done it with their kids. Of course today that probably child abuse.

I'll take a photo s soon as Sharon puts the hook in. She wants everything to heal first then she will stretch the hole a little. That sounds painful to me but I am sure it won't be as bad as trying to put the hook in with a vise grip.

When I was in the Air Force I saw pictures of what the bombs I built did to people. Didn't bother me one bit. But for some reason when I saw that hook in the finger I got queasy.

Yeah, I live in Crystal River. At least, I am one Capt. Ken and I did run bigbendsportsman.com for lots of years until I got totally tired of it. I have a ton of friends who still hit the site.

| I'm going to wait another week or so before inserting the hook. Most folks say wait at least 6 weeks before changing to something larger but I've not had one bit of drainage since day one and absolutely no pain. (Well, since trying to insert a circle hook to start with.) I wish I could find a light wire stainless steel circle hook but have been unsucessful. I may try to make one myself. I have some .051" Stainless wire. I make my own trolling snaps and bait rigging snaps with the heavy wire. I am certain I can make a neat looking circle hook if I can't find a light wire one. The 4/0 I started with has a wire diameter of at least .090" and maybe as much as .100". That would be a mighty big step from the .035" I have in my ear right now. I'd hate to tear my ear lobe again.

| I've thought about putting a hook in several times just never did it. I've had piercings for about 26 yrs and as many as six piercings in my ears. I've got two in my left ear that have been over sized with 18 ga rings and a hook might work but I doubt anything as big as a 4/0. I did 3 of the 6 piercings myself but those were all with standard size piercing earrings. I guess that kind of stuff is just a matter of what you want/like. I've got numerous tattoo's and piercings including a nipple ring that I had done when I retired from the Navy, that's as far as I'm willing to take it because that one HURT!

| Good old Lucky 13, I think I have told this story before but I was just about that age when I went to change lures and of course bit the line with my teeth and when I did I yanked the lure to help separate the two. What I ended up with was a Lazy Ike impailed in my check with all three trebles embedded in my face. Went home and of course dad was furious and does his best to get it out. Finally after an hour of screaming and crying dad gives up. First time I ever saw that because he was Medic in the AF (During the Korean War, he put a lot of stitches in me when I was kid), well off we go to the doctor we go. The Dr. was an old country doctor and just laughed when we came through the door. "Lazy Ike, good lure and they do tend to get stuck". Not the first one he had seen. Just the first place he had seen it. I made punk rockers look like pussies. 6 out of 9 were pushed through. Great post Capt Ken, brings back good memories and keep on letting that girl walk to a different drummer, it makes for a much more interesting life.

| There is not enough K-Y Jelly in the world to get that big ole' hook through the little hole in my ear yet. It hurt darn near as bad tonight as the first time and Sharon didn't get it all the way to the barb. Yeah, it bled a little too but I won't need a transfusion this time. I never thought I was a wuss but this hurt. Sharon is trying to figure out how she can get my ear under the drill press. She doesn't want to use a regular hand type drill or my Dremel tool. She went up quite a bit on wire size so next time, it might work. Sooner or later it will fit.

| Dang thing got infected. Sharon is a nurse and used good technique and I've kept it clean but I have a sore ear with a smaller pin in it again. The back on the ear ring she used was too tight. I hope my ear don't rot off.
