Worst fishing injuries.

What are the worst you have heard of?

Mine happened this year, went down to the canal with my brother on a wednesday night, mid-september. Just took my first cast when I heard a loud ""Thud" followed by a groan. My brother had slipped on a rock, and upon trying right himself, firmly entrenched himself in the rip rap. Broke both bones in his right forearm.
We where in a spot at the canal where we had parked and hiked, and so we where about a mile from the truck. He was pretty woosy and I was pretty sure he was going to puke.
I walked him about a half mile to a spot that was close to the road, then I had to "jog" about a mile and a half in the other direction to get the car, as he was in no condition for the hike "up" through the dark woods to get to the car.

It really sucked for him as we had to then drive all the way to the hospital. It sucked for me because my eel bag along with $20 worth of eels were sent out into the canal during the melee.

He is getting a set of Korkers for X-Mas.
