My brother was top-water Rapala fishing w/a friend 50 years ago on a Maryland Reservoir during the spawn. He had landed in a shoreline bush and began to try and shake it free instead of pushing the Large Lady off of her nest. Well, the light-handed shaking escalated into the frantic mode which created an obviously unforgettable aftermath. The triple-trebled balsa-bait strikes his bud in the eyelid which prompted Ya Got ME!! As my brother looked over his shoulder at his back-seat friend, the 6" lure lay hang-dangling with the rear-treble hook barb EXPOSED! That's right = 2 HOLES(in/out). My brother saunters to the back in hopes of not needing a stupid ER visit(fish were bitin') and assessed the situation HE CREATED! Luckily, the eyelid is thin and pliable so he was able to back that barbed hook-point out, applied some ice from their lunch pack and RESUME the day. Actually resembled a small snake-bite. No blood/swelling but a bruise the following day! Plastic Sunglasses would have aided but glass Sunglasses....well, enough said- be Safe out there friends! Stay HOOKED on Fishin' NOT on your boat-mates!
