I really feel for this guy, that suck big time. The eye does heal pretty well, lets hope he makes a full recovery.

I fear trebles more than anything. I have been stuck badly a handful of times and it sucks. You have 9 lazer sharp pointed hooks (xtra strong) all withing a few inches of each other attached to a wild animal that you need to subdue by hand, often at night, often while in waist deep water or current, on slippery rock or bubble weed. It's a recipe for disaster.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

You guys should try to locate him or find out what hospital he went to. Find out how he is? He surely would like to thank you guys I am sure! I would want to if I were in his shoes?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I'm cringing just thinking about it. Hope he's alright.
