I feel your pain. (Hope your are taking antibiotics)
That is the worst when the fish is connected to the lure and is going nuts while he has you by the "short hairs"...You know he is thinking..."who's got who MFer"
I try and carrry a HEAVY pair of cutters on board...they come in handy somtimes.
15 years ago, I had a gibbs bottle plug with stainless steel trebles nail me in the eye lid while surf casting on SW point BI (a very slipery place...even without a hook). I had to walk back (with out falling ) to the truck with this hook in my eye. Lots of blood. It actually only put a hole thru my eyelid (which healed).. I backed it out on the beach and saw a doc the next day. Scared the sh*t out of me. A few nights later there was a guy who was fighting a big fish and the plug pulled out in the surf-line...it was like a slingshot and it hit him hard in the nose and cheek, the barb went thru his nose completely. His eyes turned black and blue and his nose swelled . They flew him out to a hospital with the plug still on his face....I think it was a blue back Rapala. I know we all have stories like that.
Hope it wasn't your casting finger....
