Yup. Scars are proof the past was real. I have plenty of those on my fingers.

Was it from teeth or gill plate? I've had plenty from the gill plate from trying to control a thrashing pike but never once caught a tooth. If you are handling them properly, there's no way you're getting bit unless you are dehooking with bare hands and no pliers.

I'll give few responses and you just pick the one you like best:

Wet the glove and it's fine but you'll look like a p.

Use you bare hand and take the cut like a man!

the cut wasn't a problem, I was just wondering if the glove makes things easier

Getting bitten by the pike is half the fun

Probably the gill plate cause my right hand took the hook out and no cut there
