Last year while fishing the surf line outside of Barkley (not in the forbidden zone) we caught some rockfish and yelloweye. I decided to fillet a few and have them for dinner. While cleaning a rockfish (that I assumed was dead) it suddenly flipped and a quill penetrated my finger. Needless to say, I was in pain for about 45 minutes. An "Old Salt" once told me that I should pee in a bucket and submerge the puncture in the urine and it would relieve the pain. Sorry but I was in too much pain to think about peeing in a bucket. I did manage to throw back a shot of Rye and followed that up with a cold Kokanee. It did help, but I am looking for any remedies that fellow fishermen have used to ease the pain. I'm sure that there are a few of you that have had the same thing happen. I would love to hear your remedies.
