I had a guy that I used to work with a couple of years ago, one of these that if you did it he did it twice and better types. I had a good weekend of fishing and sure enough he came in the next day and said that he had went out and caught millions by his account. I asked to see his thumbs and he said "What"? I showed him mine that still had the cuts, scrapes and even the good ones that are down in the webbing between your thumb and pointing finger from the BIG fish. His were as smooth as my 3 year olds bottom. Look at a Man's thumb and unless he is using one of those gloves that velcro's to his belt like that one fella does on TV and they will not lie. Mine are pretty cut up from the last couple of days but I would not have it any other way. Here is "Good Thumb Cuts and Scrapes to all of you"
