I was about a 1/2" from resembling this article a couple months ago but was not from pulling on bait. Threw fish in the boat and while fish was on floor flopping with loose line the bait flew up into my face. These new baits the hooks are so sharp and the baits are real aerodynamical. I had only been hooked once while fly fishing before the last 5 yrs and I've gotten in 3 times since. Twice in the hand and once in the face. Not a good feeling.

Fishing the back of the boat with rumbanator (he sets the hook to his right). I got pelted in the back and legs several times! Didn't have my glasses on because it was cloudy. He kinda got onto me to put them on. Glad he did now! Good habit to have.

I've definately had some close calls and this helps to remind me to force my daughters to wear their sunglasses when we are fishing. I've put a hook in Corey's arm before when a fish got off right at the boat.

Thanks for the heads up Ozzie
Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish
