crappieperchhunter Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 Looks gnarly. Pike fishing from shore when we where kids. My buddy and I and his younger brother. Gabbing and not paying attention my buddies brother went behind us to get something out of his tackle box just as I was casting and a buried a treble hook from my rapala in the back of his skull. No crying or carrying on as these brothers where farmers. We just jumped on our bikes and pedalled to the Fergus hospital about a mile away. I can still see my fluorescent orange rapala swinging off the back of his head as we travelled along. Got to the hospital and they shaved a good sized patch on his head bald so they could remove the hook. Within an hour we where fishing again. This was 40+ years ago I assume Neils parents where contacted but no parents came to the hospital while this was going on. I can't imagine it would be handled the same way today. 1 1
Rizzo Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 yup I cringed. Seen it happen to a few people, but never personally experienced it (thankfully)
Crimsongulf Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 Way back when I got hooked in the ear with a Devils Horse top water plug by a buddy. This was sent to me a while back and I will take any fish hook over this.
