Are you afraid to bait a hook? lol

I don't mind a bit to bait my own hook, but on the rare occassion that I am lucky enough to catch a fish, DH has to do the unhooking of the fish, especially catfish as I don't wanna get "horned" by one of them.

We use minnows, worms, leeches, maggots, chunks of fish, fish guts... whatever works.

LOL Gross you all out?

Sherry , you are one tough woman and my hat is off to you. So if I go fishing with you, will you bait the hook with everything but worms, take the fish off the hook and unsnag my line if I get hooked?

Yep..I'm a whimp! I would NOT ever touch fish guts.I have a VERY weak stomach and I would prob throw up just seeing it!!

I don't go fishing very often. Our neighbor has a pond and thats the ONLY place I'll fish at. DH eats fish,but i DO NOT....I just go to feed this fish (they have feed they give their fish) and play in the water. I can't do any baiting except minnows and if I get hung up..I holler for Steve LOL!! He spends more time getting my hook baited and untangling me than he actually fishes LOL!

I rarely fish now, but growing up I went with my Dad all the time and he always baited my hook.

I can not stand touching any creepy crawler

I never gutted a fish but I have no problems with cutting off their heads & tails

I will do anything just about. It wasn't up until last year that I finally decided to start baiting worms. It was something I was always fearful of and I overcame it.
