The worst was a large hook 6/0 through my hand, but not quite 'through'. The bad part was having to continue the path so I could get the barb out to cut it off, all while a 5 lb bluefish was flopping around on the other hook connected to the Gibbs needle fish lure. I was by myself, so it was a little hectic until I could get the blue off. Amazingly, it hurt less pushing the hook through than tangling with the bluefish.
On a side note, your skin is tougher than you think.
All healed, no lasting damage.
The second worst was almost slicing off the tip of my right ring finger while cleaning a fish. Luckily the nail stopped the blade from completing it. I should have gotten stitches, but I did not want to drive for 40 minutes down to Hyannis to the CC Hospital, and the local clinic, AIM, was closed. So, I just clamped it back on and tied it up. It seems fine when you look at it, but I still can't feel the tip.
