Share your injury/misfortune while on the water

[DVM]

It might be interesting to here about accidents/injuries/misfortune that happened while fishing. Maybe that info can cause all of us to stop and think before we do something that can cause harm to us or others. I will go first, on July 4 of this year, my son was removing a nice redfish from a lure. With fish in hand, while trying to remove treble hook, the fish thrashed and hooks were driven into his hand. We were able to pull one hook out, but the other had to be "pushed through". My other son took the lead and performed the "surgery" as I looked on. This was the time of the year when the flesh eating bacteria were in the news. We were able to obtain the needed antibiotics to ward off any infection. Picture attached
