Location: Not far enough north!

So what do you guys make sure you have in the boat just in case you get hooked or bit while handling a fish. I used to carry just a basic first aid kit but after getting bit a couple summers ago up on LOTW far away from an emergency room I beefed it up for bigger problems.

A few of the things that really can make a difference between misery and just mild irritation on the rest of the trip are a:
Bottle of peroxide (so you dont have to clean cuts with lake water)
Razor Blade and lighter to sterilize it incase trimming is necessary
Big bottle of superglue (pretty much same glue they use in hospitals to seal cuts, less painful than stitches without novacain, and I think that stuff kills infections too)
Suture Kit (just incase the glue won't hold)

Mini bolt cutters start the list of must-haves and they need to always be within reach of a single hand. That would be the hand that is not sharing a big hooks with a fish.
