Yeah, I had one in the net get me. Got the lure out, reached down to pick her up and she came straight up got me in the thumb and was bleeding like a stuck pig. Wear gloves now, but just wondering if anybody while holding them by the tail had one turn around and get them!!

I've only had one do a 180 on me... but it like flew by my hand and went under the boat. But at first i did think it was gonna bite me! LMAO! but i've never heard of one actually turning around and biting someone, other then i had a buddy who got drunk on a paddleboat and was in a pond with a HUGE muskie! And he tried to PET IT! And it tore his hand up! So FYI... DONT PET A MUSKY! LMAO
