when i was around 12-14 years old i was fishing off newport pier here in california. it was shoulder to shoulder with other fishers. so me and dude on my right were getting ready to under cast and and as soon as he saw me cast too he held his line (didnt want to tangle each others line). well, since he did that the hook went behind his head and hooked some dude behind him watching in the lips. omgs i was soo scared, i ran to my dad and fished some where else.

lol, nice stories, I wish i the worst i have had was when i was baiting a strip of squid and i missed the squid and hit my thumb, it went about half a cim in, the barb didn't get me, but, nonetheless, it bled like crazy and it stung like hell, On that piece of bait i hooked a 2 foot long stingray who fought like, Then i put it in my little pond thingy i made in the sand, It was hard trying to get it out of the pond so no one could step on it..

The barb and point of the hook fell down inside the cut after my dad cut the hook. In hindsight, he should have pushed the point through, and then cut the hook. He thought I better go to the hospital. After digging around, the doctor couldn't find it, and determined it would be fine. It's still there.
I was fishing in a canoe w. 2 friends one time. I was in the back and the kid in the front got caught in a tree. So him being the man that he is starts pulling which in turn pulls the canoe straight towards the stuck lure. The lure then springs free and catches me right in the eyelid. I somehow got stuck in the upper portion where there is a little gap between your eye and lid.
They were freaking out and i was just like WTF...but it didn't hurt at all, I could still open my eye and see the lure right there.
It was a rapala shad rap. The upper treble was stuck in my eye.
We then went to a walk in clinic and got right in because of what looked like an extremely painful situation. They cut the hook out and that was that.
Whats funny is that they took a picture of my eye and then showed me some other shots of hooks they took out. (the clinic is 5 minutes from a beach)
fun times had by all...

I was about 9 when this happened. I was at a dock with my neighbor who was my age. I was at the back of the dock baiting my line, and my neighbor goes to cast his line, but he hits the release on the back swing. The hook caught me in th side of the throat and tore straight through the skin when he actually cast the line. No hospital trip.
