Somebody cut open Wahlie and check his stomach contents.

Seriously Wahlie, thanks for posting that, and I am glad you are alright.

Sh*t happens out there at night in rough connditions with sharp objects. Happens to all of us.

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

yeah, i'm really fortunate that the one hook dug in after bouncing off of the frame of my glasses..... I felt the other set of trebles bounce off of my right lense.... I was with my buddy Orlando and we had to take a 2 mile walk off of the beach. He removed the plug from the wolverine triple splits on the spot and we laughed, I said ouch and then got to the Westerly ER. The nurses and dr. couldn't believe how close it had come to my eye. It was a freakish accident. I was reeling in and hit something. Gave it a simple pop, as we all do, and a wave caught the plug and rocketed at my face...
