I love the part where he kept on fishing.
I've ducked dozens of pieces of lead flying back at me that would've blinded me or kicked out teeth 🤦♂️
A mans got to know his limitations.
Eh- Ive pulled prolly 10 trebles outta my hand, arm. Just grab pliers and pull. Faster the better.
Hard charger you are! Is that before or after the whiskey?
Nope. Right after it happens usually within seconds. Unless the fish is still hooked to the treble also. Then it takes a little longer.
We should keep this quiet or they will outlaw hooks and take them away. Hooks don’t catch people, careless people do.

I love the part where he kept on fishing. I put a #6 gold long shank hook in the bottom of my big toe one time. It went right to the bone. My dad kept telling me to put some shoes on so I didn't step on a hook as I always liked to fish bare foot. On this particular occasion I wish I would have listened. After it happened he said let reel in and get out of here. Being a tough guy I said, no lets keep fishing. So, I cut the line off it and continued to fish. I fished about another 40 min., until my toe was throbbing so bad I couldn't take it anymore. Then we had a twenty minute boat ride, another ten loading it onto the trailer then back to camp. I had another 45 minutes of driving to the hospital. Once at the hospital, I had a Dr. from the Middle East and she grabbed the hook with forceps and was going to just pull it out. I screamed "NO", she didn't know it had a barb, so I had to draw her a picture. Like, I wouldn't have pulled the dam thing out a lot earlier, if I could! I sure wish I had listened to him "twice" that day. First by wearing shoes, second by leaving right away! But, you know, I still like fishing barefoot!!! Just hard headed I guess.
Not a fishing accident but foreign doctor intern. When I was a senior in high school used to squirrel hunt while in season. Hardly ever missed a day. Anyway while hunting near a local creek/river area. I was shot in chest by a .22 never seen who. I suspect it was a ricochet as it felt more like a bee sting. It didn't go in very deep and I could see bullet beneath my skin. Missed the nipple of my left breast by a 1/4 inch. Believe me its a tender area when shot.I have to walk about two miles home. Although bleeding like a stuck pig at first it quit on its own. Called my dad in my bedroom showed him the wound. My mom immediately wanted to know what's going on. Dad tells her not to look. She does anyway and faints to the floor. Revive mom and off the 3 of us to the emergency room.Get to the emergency desk , half bored nurse asks me my problem, I mention I have been shot. Next thing I know she calls everyone but Lyndon Johnson then president of the United States. Two sets of police detectives grill me while waiting for treatment. Finally convince them it was a hunting accident and I am not a victim of gang violence or a botched mafia hit. Imagine four Barney Fifes and twice as dedicated into constructing a mountain out of an ant hill.By the time they sequester in a treatment room. I think the worst is over. That is when Doctor " I almost understand english " enters my haven. His language not mine " you shottas with many bullet of justed one bullet ". I tell him just one bullet. He launches into really bad broken english explaining the difference between shotgun and rifle. Finally in desperation I show him the actual wound. The bullet is very easy to see. Great now he understands.Unfortunately he wants to know if it hurts. I guess he didn't want to take my word for it. He begins to press on my wound. I yelp in pain but it does not stop him. I ask very nicely thru clenched teeth to quit. This just eggs him on. I am in so much pain that in desperation . I grab his testicles and squeeze as hard as I can. He falls to the floor in a fetal position and starts to scream. I ask him did that hurt. He crawls out the door and nurse helps him to his feet. He is not speaking english now but I think Hindu.Back into my room comes one of the Barney Fife's and my dad. They want to know what I did. I tell them what the sadist did and what I did. Cop thinks I am a juvenile thug my dad has tears in his eyes from laughing. About that time our family doctor appears and fixes me in 5 minutes. Right before he pulls the bullet out he kids with the nurse grab his hands and don't let go. Till he retired our Doc loved to tease me about it.
