I posted this on the Wyoming forum. Thought I would share with everyone! It's pretty simple tie some line and a hook to your finger bait it. Ready to go!

Mentally Prepare!

Down the hole start jigging!

Fish on! Fish on! Hope he doesn't tear my finger off!

Voila! or as we say in the good old USA Wha La! Believe it! or Not

That 's funny stuff.

dabber-doo · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 31, 2007, 09:10 PM »

IT's real cool , but i think I'll stick with a rod and reel. I really like my fingers and want to keep them.

Muskie Nut · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 01, 2007, 02:01 AM »

Nice technique, however, before you patent it, I'd rather use a longer line tied to my finger, so my whole arm doesn't get wet. Just my personal preference

camo_fish · « **Reply #13 on:** Feb 01, 2007, 06:46 AM »

wow that is totally out of this world.

But, the whole wet arm thing just doesn't seem right. One h#ll of a fish caught by finger.

HAHAH i was thinking the exact same thing!!

whatever works to catch them i guess

my luck it would bite my finger not the jig

Cargo · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 02, 2007, 05:54 PM »

I think if you are a member of that polar bear club it would be allot easier!

TJC · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 05, 2007, 08:05 AM »

Thats cool, but right now in NY if you put your arm down the hole in a few minutes you will have a frozen stump

The key is to not drill the hole all the way through the ice.Then your arm stays dry.

buckmanJR86 · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 05, 2007, 08:32 PM »

Ahaha, thats awsome. Must be a good action pond?

tcool · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 05, 2007, 08:49 PM »

are those reel salmon eggs?

hookemandcookem · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 05, 2007, 10:33 PM »

I agree with everyone saying; Im not a big fan of getting my whole arm wet thing. Just not really something id look forward to, getting my arm wet and not knowing what is gonna be on the other end of my line or latched onto my finger....But FANTASTIC idea and great pics.

AirManCam · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 06, 2007, 09:29 AM »

Thats sick! I didn't believe it until I looked at the last pic and saw the wet sleeve.
