treble hook in eye while standing waist deep at 2:00am on sw point BI in a 30mph NW. (Actually went thru both eye lids and only scratched my eyeball but there was a lot of blood and I was worried. I had to remove the hook while standing on those slippery bocci balls because I thought I would fall and rip out my eye.


Got washed off of the north rip late while fishing alone was able to swim back, tide was rippin. Did not hurt myself but I was worried. Whoever said you can't swim in waders didn't see me that night, I could have given Mark Spitz a run for his money. Lost rod and reel. Walked back to truck, shook it off, changed, had a coffee and picked up backup rod and landed 47#er. I knew they were there ....

I'm not fishing with you on the porkchop
