A couple of years ago I was fishing danny's on a submerged bar maybe waist deep, hooked a mid-teen sized fish and got it in so that it was lying nice and calm right in front of me. The danny was hooked on the outside of the fish so I grabbed the leader to try and slide my hand down to the front of the plug and the fish rolled and embeds one of the exposed trebles in my leg. Now I'm trying to pull the hook out and the fish decides its time for a second effort and tries to go for a swim..
The fish is thrashing around and I manage to get the treble out of my leg but not thru my neoprene boots, and as quick as you can wink the fish sinks it back into me a second time. 2 nice punctures 1/2 an inch apart.. I had no plans to keep a fish that night, but I ate that one...
Do plug building injuries count ? I've had a couple of those doing stupid things in the shop...
