Ok last year I took my brother and his friend , and brother in law, my sister and her boyfriend. We were using live herring. I was busy setting everyone up and hardly had time to get a line wet. After everyone elses lines were in I hooked a herring through the nostril. I went to cast it , and on the back cast it shot off and hit some guy in the back of the head. Embarassing yes, funny, yes only cause the guy had a sense of humor. Next time I get my lines in first.
