Most embarising fish injury I've ever had. See if you can top this
Was fishing a local pond from shore because my 150hp motor is being repaired
I cast out a 4" ring worm with a slider 1/8 oz cone head 3/0 worm hook. You know the one with the built in sinker.
I hooked a log and tried to pull it free. I was using 10# test. I didn't have another hook on me and was determined to get back the slider head. Well the log started to move and I was working it slowly toward the shore. All of a suden, under great tension, the hook broke free. I felt it hit my chin and looked on the ground for the worm. That's when I touched my chin and found the lead head sticking out of my chin. I could not find the hook point and didn't know wheere it was since it such a big hook. I jump in the truck covering my face and head home. I cant get the hook out so The wife drives me to the emergency room.
4 hours later after xray's, the doctor are histerical. Several came over just to see it
because the've never seen anything like this before.
Hook broke about 1/4" after the r bend and twisted into a cork screw like device. 1/2" of steel had a turn and a half on it. It' literally screwed itself into my chin.
Several shot of novacaine and the docter unscrewed the slider head from my chin. No stiches but very embarrising.
