I used to fish a lot when I was younger, and that was one of those things I absolutely dreaded. Especially if my sister had gone fishing with me. She always forgot to check behind her when she cast.

CSB:
Used to work on a party boat. I've seen some stupid shiat; as soon as folks see the ocean they lose all common sense. Pulled many a hook from hands, arms, even an eyebrow before. Damn people, watch out, those things are designed to puncture and hook stuff - indiscriminately.

Awful things happening to eyeballs with fish hooks FREAKS ME OUT

Awful things happening with fish hooks FREAK ME OUT. The last time we moved, I grabbed what I thought was a benign bundle of fishing poles and got a hooked deep in the meat of my palm. My husband was in the house unloading something heavy and I was in the street yelling my head off, afraid to move because when I did it moved. He finally came out about ten minutes later and cut it off my hand. I like fish, I like to sit and drink a cold beer while he fishes, but I don't want to come within five feet of a fish hook after that incident. If it had been my eye I'd have to stay back 50 yards.

That article was not exactly informative. And they said he was poked in the eye, not hooked.

I'm on mobile... Was there more info/pics on regular site?

If he's so nearsighted he needs to be that close to bait the hook, he needs glasses

Oh my god. This headline made me cringe. I read the article a couple times, and getting started masturbating to it was not easy, to say the least. I finally found a rhythm and powered through it though. Please submit less horrific articles in the future. kthnxbai

I'd personally like to shake your slimy hand.

You, sir, have restored my faith in the indomitability of the human spirit. Obstacles be damned, you reached your goal. This is exactly the kind of positive can-do attitutude that will eventually take our race to the stars and beyond.

My son caught a large Rapala plug right in the temple. It was barbed in deep and about an inch from his eyeball.

That's nothing. I had the tip of a pool cue imbedded in my sinuses for 20 years.

I'm going to write a letter to my congress-person and inform them of this tragedy.

Just as children are now protected by helmets when they ride a bike or skate-board I think I will press for legislation that all children will be required to wear safety glasses/goggles when fishing so as to prevent something like this from happening again.

I was at work one day, and a coworker came in from fishing and had a roostertail fishing lure stuck in the meaty part of his hand. He'd snagged the opposite bank while steelhead fishing, and when he pulled the lure loose, it sprang back at his face. He drove 25 miles back to work, so I could push the barb all the way through, and clip it off with a pair of sidecutters so I could back it out. I knew to do this because when I was a kid, we had a cat named Troubles that while playing with some fishing poles in the garage, got hooked. The veterinarian pushed the hook through the roof of the cat's mouth and out its nose, then clipped the barb and pulled it back through. Gross, but effective.

I was browsing in the sporting goods store when a salesperson came up to me.
"Can I help you with anything?"
"Well, one of your fishing hooks caught my eye."

Can a fish hook cause an eyeball to explode?

Ahhhhh exploding eyeball.

My dad once had a fishhook go through his hat and pin his hat to his scalp. He just cut the line off and kept fishing all day.

/not me, I would have screamed and cried all the way to the hospital

I read that in a "Pepperidge Farms Remembers" voice for some reason.

I like how the atricle describes the incident as "poked in the eye by a fish hook".

/gotta watch out for the sneaky bastards.
