There are handy little stubby safety knives for this purpose rather than using your bait knife. You dont want to go stabbing yourself in a panic either, serrated edges are best for this purpose

Re: Lesson Learnt - Safety For Newbies !!!
Your a good man for posting about your misadventure. A lesson for all of us.
Reaching back seams like a common cause for a drinking.
Re knives, I carry a dive knife strapped to my leg.
Good point about a bilge pump. I think I will leash my pump or attach a float to it.

No problems guys.
Hopefully someone will take this to protect themselves out there.
We all like to think we are good yakkers but accidents happen and that's a fact...
Take care out there fellas and enjoy yourselves !
