Damn, John, hope you heal those hands up soon.  I bet you drank plenty of beers after that one.

John,
I'm not trying to one up you, but I think this one takes the cake. It was a cm from his carotid.
Took three hours of surgery and his neck is jacked up to this day.
One of the dangers of Shark Fishing,. Kayaking out the bait.

Naw. Naw, I want no part of that.....

[fishhawk]

bad part about the hook in neck was hook was attached to yak and yak was jumping around in the surf!

[Shark Hunter]

Yup,
Just like this one too. I try to put a wine cork over the point before I go out.

@ the OP,
Ow! hope that healed already.

My son and his buddy were fishing a little while ago, and his friend got himself hooked.
I do believe it finally drove home the reality of it to him, after all my preaching, cautioning and showing him pics.
One hook in his nose came out easy enough, but the one by his eye was a tad more touchy.

I don't know why I re-read this thread  I must need more pain in my life.

I've got some pretty bad ones on the government network from commercial fishing accidents, but I'd rather not share the carnage (+They are technically government property).  I didn't get any photos of the times I have been hooked (too busy tending to the injuries).

This is why I carry a set of Knipex 71 31 200. A little pricey ($46 on Amazon) but worth it. Easier than bolt cutters to use and I haven't found a hook they won't cut.

Sorry no pictures, but last weekend I was tying a salmon jig and while tightening the knot, slipped and drove the treble straight into the edge of my left hand.....my buddy said "Ohhhh I can get that out", what he didnt tell me was this was going to be his first time actually doing it....anyway a pair of needle nose pliers, a good twist and yank, some fatty tissue and we went back to fishing....here is a picture of the offending jig and where it ended up...

I was glad I missed this post and now I'm regretting it.
