While fishing alone @2:00am in a hard late Oct NW blow, at low tide on SW point BI, with a black bottle plug that for one reason or another hit me in the face hard and the front treble was stuck on my eye. Blood was streaming down my face....I tried to walk back to the truck but it is very slippery like walking on greesed cannonballs. I was afraid that if I fell I would rip my eye out cause the plug was still hanging on to the line and rod. I put a lot of slack in the line and tried again but still had trouble and slipped. I decided to remove the hook where I was standing (in hip deep water) then walk back. I did that and splashed some cool seawater on my face and blinked my eyes...
I could still see! I made it back to the truck, wiped the outside mirror off and looked at my eye in the mirror...There was a hole in the top of my eyelid and the bottom lid and a slight scratch on my eye. But I could see.
I called it a night after that. (I had a 47 in the cooler anyway) went to the cottage and took a shower, a few chill pills and passed out. I fished one more night then flew back home and saw a doctor on the mainland who said I was a lucky sob. I am more careful now.
My second worse was I shaved off my knuckle down to the bone with a fillet knife. (that really sucked, it took a long time to heal)
My third worse was when I was a kid (18 or so) while on my clam boat I tripped and fell and planted my foot on a mud rake, the teeth came thru the top of my shoe. I said "gee, it must have went between my toes it doesn't hurt" after about 5 min it started to ache, I took off my shoe and sock and my little toe fell off. They put it back but that was painful too.
Other then that just your normal bruises and cuts...
