My wife's Uncle Bill got clocked right between the eyes with a 4oz sinker. Knocked him right off his feet. He drove home from Truro to Bolton to get stitched up. The Doc lost count. He was lucky the hook missed him.
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
