Since we're sharing "stooopid" stories, ,, I'll admit to having to make the "Walk Of Shame" through the parking lot, down a few hallways and into the ER, in Liberty Texas, shirtless, with a Triple H Treble Hook Spinner Bait jinglin' off the back of my shoulder with every dang step I took.
I better quit laughing at everyone else's stories, because I've never had an incident and don't want to jinx myself.

Not me, but I helped a friend that was hooked very bad. We caught a wahoo on a double rigged 14/0 j-hook. When the fish hit the deck it jumped straight up and came down on my friend's arm. One hook was in the fish and the other hook was stuck between my friend's radius and ulna (the two bones in your forearm). It looked awful, like something out of a horror show. The barb wasn't completely through the other side of his arm, so I tried to push it with my hand but it wouldn't move. I got some vice grips and bolt cutters and went to work. It's amazing how tough human skin is. It took a ton of force to pull the hook out once I cut the eye. Without putting vice grips on the hook, I would have never been able to get it out. My friend was done for the day after that, although he never cried out in pain the entire time.
