since were all sharing war stories.
im 32 now, but when i was 10 or 11 i used to live on a lake. i got hooked 3 times in 1 year!!! 1st time was standing behind a guy on my neighbors dock. he casted and hooked me RIGHT above my eye. 1/2 inch lower and id be blind in one eye.
then, a couple weeks later testing my drag by holding a small cork popper that i was using. the cork broke in half and buried the hook pretty well.
the third time was the worst one. at my grandparents pond i caught a 2lber on a torpedo. so i get it on shore and jumps just as i was reaching down to lip it. so im hooked on one treble and its still hooked on the other. and it jumpin around of course. hahha. that sucked.
my grandpa wasnt happy about my whining i can tell you that. haha.
i got careful that summer. really quickly.
