Last night one of my worst nightmares almost came to life. I was working a darter close to shore when a small fish hit. Instinctively I set the hook and the plug came flying back at me and hit me square in the junk hard, no pun intended. It hurt like a bastid and was sure I had just Prince Albert'ed myself until I heard the plug hit the rocks. I had breathables on with sweatpants underneath. Could've easily stuck myself with the VMCs and the force that was behind them. All I kept thinking about was how am I going to go to the ER with a darter attached to my man region? If I was hooked, I don't think that would've been a situation where I could have pushed the hook through. Ouch. And then I was thinking about how I would've explained to it to people. I mean, my friends and family know I love to fish, but not that much. I swear!
Besides getting hooked in the eye, I think that would be my worst fear. Felt like I had the clap for about 2 hrs, not that I know anything about that. So, has this ever happened to anyone?
